** Description changed:
+ SRU Justification:
+
+ Impact: The Huawei modem (with a certain firmware it seems) claims to
+ support a certain sense data format, but does not do so.
+
+ Fix: Change to USB storage, which lets the device fallback to a shorter
+ sense format. This patch went into 2.6.31.5 ("usb-storage: Workaround
+ devices with bogus sense size").

I'm using a Huawei E169 USB dongle to connect to a GSM mobile broadband
network. It used to work out-of-the-box with Jaunty and previous
versions of Karmic (kernel 2.6.31-11 and previous). However the device
doesn't work any more with the latest kernel.
Dmesg gives me repatedly this message:
dmesg:
option: option_instat_callback: error -108
lsusb:
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem

My system: Dell XPS M1530, see attached result of "lshw"
This bug apparently affects other people as well:
