Title:
  Several Huawei USB dongle don't work with kernel 2.6.31-12.40
  (2.6.31.1 update related)

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Karmic:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact: The Huawei modem (with a certain firmware it seems) claims to
  support a certain sense data format, but does not do so.

  Fix: Change to USB storage, which lets the device fallback to a
  shorter sense format. This patch went into 2.6.31.5 ("usb-storage:
  Workaround devices with bogus sense size").

  I'm using a Huawei E169 USB dongle to connect to a GSM mobile
  broadband network. It used to work out-of-the-box with Jaunty and
  previous versions of Karmic (kernel 2.6.31-11 and previous). However
  the device doesn't work any more with the latest kernel.

  Dmesg gives me repatedly this message:

  dmesg:
  option: option_instat_callback: error -108

  lsusb:
  Bus 005 Device 005: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem

  My system: Dell XPS M1530, see attached result of "lshw"

  This bug apparently affects other people as well:

  NB: Remaining bug with Huawei E220/E270 is bug #449394, not this bug
