ZTE MF636 3G USB Modem

[Kevin Gilbert]

Hmm, my first reply was quarantined because of it's size, so I'll have another 
go.

1) syslog output when the device was mounted:

2) lshal

3) lsusb -vv with device mounted
    http://zte-mf636.pastebin.com/m65d5297b

4) lsusb -vv after device dismounted as the device does present a CD-Rom drive 
to Windows

I've tried the "option" driver but it doesn't work. Neither does 
"usb_modeswitch". I'm compiling my own kernel so that I can turn on debug for 
the "option" driver and see what that turns up. Will also have a hack at 
usb_modeswitch - as time permits.

BTW: The device is sold by Telstra Australia for it BigPond Mobile Broadband 
service.

Cheers,
Kevin
