Well, it might, as it turns out that this really is not a sierra wireless based device, it's something else. So try changing drivers and see if that gets better. > If this is the case, having my distribution kernel source, once I have applied > the patch, how can I rebuild _only_ the sierra and the option modules? make M=drivers/usb/serial/ will build only that one directory. Or: make drivers/usb/serial/option.ko should build only that module. You might have to do a 'make oldconfig' and 'make prepare' first though.
