   There was a GSM firmware bug such that you would miss all calls during
the first suspend after a reboot or power on[1]. It will happen when the
firmware is moko10 or older and your kernel is older than 2009-02-22. Later
kernels include a workaround[2] for the firmware bug and the moko11
firmware[3] from 2009-02-24 fixes the bug.
