Hard to say without looking at debug logs in both systems and comparing... :/

Well, --connect also takes time, but in that one we should already
have a bigger timeout. If you send more debug logs when the issue
happens, we can take a look at them one by one.

Hard to say... Not sure if there were many changes in those drivers
between 3.19 and 4.0.

I think it should be something like "apt-get source libmbim", then
adding the patch file in the proper place of the debian/ directory
there. It's been a long time since I've done debian packaging tasks...
you can likely get better help googling about it.
