you might be right here. I don't think we ever got the IFX modem as
module.
On that topic of modules, why do you guys went for USB based module and
not some SDIO or similar bus? The USB can be pretty power hungry. And
even USB auto-suspend might be a problem when you have to wake it up
again for cell change or signal strength notifications.
