Absolutely! You are the winner!

I'm up with b121 now. My 3G internet works out of the box, no need to patch the 
sio driver any more.
Further quick tests:

Oracle: check
Sound: check
Desktop effects: check
Eclipse 3.5: check

Next will be to try XEN again :)

Oh btw, is there a way I can patch the kernel permanently at dobiosdev so I 
don't have to stop in the debugger each time during boot?
