It's 100% reproducable - when computer is running unplug modem, plug it back (replug) will cause fail at part2 firmware loading. My '/lib/firmware/' direcotry looked like this: > -rw------- 1 root root 935 Feb 23 22:20 speedtch-1.bin > -rw------- 1 root root 775545 Feb 23 22:20 speedtch-2.bin When I changed it to: > -r--r--r-- 1 root root 935 Feb 23 22:20 speedtch-1.bin.4.00 > -r--r--r-- 1 root root 775545 Feb 23 22:20 speedtch-2.bin.4.00 Replug operation generate additional error message: > kernel: usb 1-1: found stage 1 firmware speedtch-1.bin.4.00 > kernel: firmware_loading_store: unexpected value (0) > kernel: usb 1-1: no stage 2 firmware found! But still fails :( One thing that comes to my mind is 'time' problem. How much time modem gives me for uploading firmware part 2? Maybe boot.bin have short timeouts and wait for about 500ms?
