I have tried both builtin and modules for the kernel options mentioned
in the forum, with no success.  The phone is recognized and if I set the
option (on the phone) to have the connection act as a disk, that works
file.  But the phone option for mobile broadband does not work.  I see
the phone in dmesg but the usb0 network port is not created
(I do have net.usb0 --> net.lo).

thanks,
