  This time I got the following usb_modeswitch error, then when I
  removed/reattached the modem I got the kernel oops:

  Also, when I decide to poweroff/reboot the laptop it doesn't completely turn off, and the plymouth animation goes forever, I just have to keep pressing the power button to force it to turn off.

  I have attached the while dmesg of this session.
