Hi.

I decided to move from gentoo-sources-3.7.10 to the long-term kernel gentoo-sources-3.4.40 and clean up the config more thoroughly by removing everything unneeded. Now, nearly everything is built in. The only modules, I currently use are:
Code:
dasa ~ # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
vboxnetflt             12947  0
vboxnetadp             17127  0
vboxdrv              1778725  2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
scsi_wait_scan           672  0


Everything works fine except the "Dell Wireless 5560 HSPA+ Mobile Broadband Mini-Card Device" (DW5560), which used to work under kernel version 3.7.10. Here are some informations:
Code:
dasa ~ # emerge --info

The DW5560 is recognized:

I would like to know whether there is s.th. I need to check/uncheck in the linux config.

I got it working after some trial and error by activating this:
Code:
Device Drivers  --->
   [*] USB support  --->
      <*>   Support for Host-side USB
         [*]     USB device class-devices (DEPRECATED)

Activating "USB device class-devices (DEPRECATED)" didn't solve the problem, but this:
Code:
Device Drivers  --->
   [*] Network device support  --->
      USB Network Adapters  --->
         <*> Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework
            <*>   CDC NCM support
