TLV value runs over buffer

[Hans en Dory]

Hi everyone,

For connecting to the internet I use a Huawei broad band dongle. Unfortunately, every now and then, sometimes every 5 minutes, and another time every half our, the connection stops, just out of the blue. /var/log/syslog shows the following message everytime the connection stops:

[/dev/cdc-wdm0] Invalid QMI message received: 'TLV value runs over buffer (0x16a0c10 + 24074  > 0x16a0c5d)'

I googled this problem for quite some time but without any success. This mailing list is my last hope to find a solution for this problem.

I run Linux Mint 17.2 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. The dongle connects to a CDMA network.

Hope to hear from one of you.
