I am trying to use a Cinterion PLS8-X with ModemManager. The modem is
properly identified and enabled, and the connection is properly
established. But when I try to use the network interfaces and get an
IP from the DHCP server, it fails to get any IP address.

This is the log:

Any idea why the CDC ether driver warns about that unexpected
notifications, and why is the dhcp client not working?
