Ok, I see. I just wasn't aware of the proposal at all since I missed the discussion
and wasn't on CC.

Therefore I have added Eric to the CC.

Ok, that looks plausible.

This explains why we did run into the problem with the GTM601.

Interestingly I see:

0: Diagnostic
1: GPS
2: GPS Control
3: Application
4: Control
5: Modem

I.e. there is no Network interface. Originally we did focus on /dev/ttyHS3
to access the Application interface, but people reported that it is not stable
or always so. Therefore we have some udev rule to add symbolic names
(e.g. /dev/ttyHS_Application):

http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=blob;f=GTA04/udev-rules/hso.rules;hb=HEAD

So I think the assignment is not even always the same on the same device.

And I am a little puzzled why we do see the wIndex == 6 if it is the interface
number. Maybe it happens only in some scenario where the Modem becomes
interface #6.

I will try but need a little time to setup a test scenario (because I need to trigger
RING indications) and will then report.
