Public bug reported:

At least for versions 2.6.32-29.28 and 2.6.32-30.29 the modules can not
be loaded by the generic kernel.

I just noticed that my WWAN connection was not working and investigated
a bit. It seems, that the modules have been compiled against the server
kernel:

# modinfo usb_wwan

# modprobe usb_wwan

(/lib/modules/2.6.32-30-generic/updates/wwan/usb_wwan.ko): Invalid module format

dmesg:

# uname -a
Linux nb-ja 2.6.32-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 21:30:46 UTC 2011 x86_64

It would be great if someone could fix this.
