I meant: 
- first booting vista, then re-booting ... the device shows up (and is
  functional)

- booting from off state the device does not show up and cannot be
  switched on using /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/wwanpower
  (although the behaviour that it can be switched on using the above
  sysfs file is documented)

Ok, I will recompile my kernel with USB as modules and do the above. Is
there a way to tell the kernel not to load any device drivers/modules
(probably overriding modprobe in some way)?

Best wishes
