Enabling MBIM in Debian



Starting with linux version 3.8.2-1~experimental.1 we've included the
new cdc_mbim driver for MBIM (Mobile Broadband Interface Model).

Newer modems support both NCM or MBIM, but only one at a time, selected
by the kernel drivers.  For compatibility with current userland, the
kernel has been changed in version 3.8.5-1~experimental.1 to prefer NCM.
Once your package has support for MBIM, you should enable it in the
kernel by installing a uniquely named file in /lib/modprobe.d
containing:

options cdc_ncm prefer_mbim=Y
