Ge00 didn't start up after commenting out ethtool, so I suspect it was
slightly different issue. I've just updated to rc7-smoketest9, however, and
the problem is not happening anymore, so I consider it was somehow solved.

Thanks for including all these packages, my 3g dongle now works. It is ZTE
MF636 (Telecom New Zealand). Speedtest shows 5.5mb/1.35mb/104ms, which is a
great result.
Will do some more testing later.

Snap Internet, New Zealand.
I installed wide-dhcpv6-client, but not sure how to test it now. PPPoE
somehow disappeared from interface options, I now have DHCP client / Static
address or Unmanaged protocol choice.
