I have a patch ready which will retry for some time until the modem ends up
accepting my WDA Set Data Format to set 802.3.

This takes up to one minute or more in the Netgear modem; during that time
all the requests get ignored (they return success but state raw-ip). Then,
one of the requests will succeed with 802.3 as reply, and the modem will
get finally get exposed in DBus.

I'll send that patch for review in the mailing list tomorrow.

Does the windows driver end up using 802.3 or raw-ip?

guess... Seems like Netgear management decided to default to raw-ip after
taking over from Sierra Wireless, the same happened with last fw for 340U.
I am still unsure if it needed WDA or if CTL did the job.
