Yes.  Great work! As usual, you work at a speed which makes me
feel...uhmm.. slow :)

I'm impressed, yet again.

AFAICS, the support is already fully functional when it comes to
establishing connections.  So do grab and test if you have a MBIM
capable device!

And if anyone on the list could verify that it works with the Ericsson
H5321gw/F5321gw, also branded as Dell 5560, then that would be greatly
appreciated.  This device seems to be common in some newer Lenovo and
Dell laptops, and is the only one I know of which implements the "NCM
backwards compatibility" solution.  Which really makes it *more*
difficult to support because it ends up requiring userspace support for
both NCM and MBIM to avoid failing if the system selects the "wrong"
protocol.
