Problem with mm-1.0.0 and Dell 5560

[Marek Kaluba]

Ok, 

Gentoo doesn't have libmbim in the official tree, so the modemmanager 
ebuild disables mbim by default.

econf \
		  --disable-more-warnings \
                --with-udev-base-dir="$(udev_get_udevdir)" \
                --disable-static \
                --with-dist-version=${PVR} \
                $(use_with policykit polkit) \
                $(use_with qmi) \
                $(use_with qmi-newest newest-qmi-commands) \
                --without-mbim

Still after modprobing cdc_ncm prefer_mbim=N (and restarting NM, 
relogging, etc) MM coudn't find the valid data port (the same error).

I've added libmbim to my local overlay and changed MM ebuild to use it -- 
modem works nicely now (well, I managed to connect via click in NM).

I think that the modem could work without mbim (at least it worked with 
wvdial), but some internals of MM (or maybe NM?) obstructed it to do so.

For Your information i attach my /etc/wvdial.conf
the particular connection was aero2.

Cheers,
Marek
