 I find the wifi interface (eth0) doesn't exist - only lo and usb0 (when
 connected) appear in 'ifconfig'.  This leads to wifi not working at all
 (iwconfig, ifconfig and friends all fail with "No such device" or
 similar).  Accordingly, I get "Wifi: unknown" in Settings.

 While studying 'dmesg' (or just watching the bootup messages), I noticed a
 kernel oops in a module which I suspect may be related.  A log is attached
 which is the output from 'dmesg' after a bootup before any suspending was
 allowed to happen.  I suspect that useful messages may have scrolled off
 the top of the ring buffer - please let me know if there's anything I can
 do to capture this information without using a debug board, if it'd be
 useful.  However, the backtrace is there.

 Other features: GPS, voice calls, SMS, suspend etc all work very nicely
 indeed for me.
