Hi Norbert, vick,

I have the same problem on my Sony Vaio Z790DND, will have to check the
BIOS version (is there any way to figure it out other than watch while
it reboots?).

I've built the latest code from git, it required only a small typo fix
to compile:

diff --git a/sony-laptop.c b/sony-laptop.c
index 160f24b..deb3f3e 100644
--- a/sony-laptop.c
+++ b/sony-laptop.c
@@ -139,7 +139,7 @@ module_param(speed_stamina, int, 0444);

                  "Set this to 1 to enable SPEED mode on module load
(EXPERIMENTAL)");
 
-static in alt_rfkill;

 MODULE_PARM_DESC(alt_rfkill,

method (for NNNNNNN)");

(i.e. s/in/int/).

I can now see the 3g module, and rfkill also shows it.

Cheers,
Danilo
