Short feedback for Telekom Speedstick III (alias Huawei E3276, no HILINK)

MM finds cdc-wdm0. 

The list of ports:

ttyUSB0 (at)
ttyUSB1 (at)
cdc-wdm0 (at)
wwan0 (net)



In debug-mode I see also cdc-wdm0 is used for AT^NDISDUP...


Negative things:

I still have the problem that dhcp does not work at linux-next-20131119-1 
(from opensuse kernel next repository)

So I can not confirm that the whole connection is working.

Connect-state is visible via LED.

Disconnect did not work: "Disconnection attempt not supported", after a long 
time it has disconnected.


The IPv6-test failed completely: "Only IPv4 is supported by this modem" - that 
is not true.
The (older)firmware-version: 21.260.05.02.55 (Telekom Branding) works with 
IPv6.
