lxo's comment seems to imply the options listed by danny are in use, other then gsm modems. perhaps they need another ticket.

The only config explicitly listed below that isn't enabled in current builds is CONFIG_BT_HCIBCM203X, no idea why.

Other than that, I don't know what config options should be enabled for GSM modem support. Does anyone?

See the patch for the exact changes (note that a lot of the changes seem to be because the names of things changed, not because of things we needed modules for).

This patch covers these requests of djbclark (mostly on behalf of rms):

      • Bluetooth support; don't see why not to include it, and there are

tiny USB bluetooth adapters that work well with the yeeloong. Already
mostly on in lxo's linux-libre build, just wondering if perhaps these
should be compiled as modules as well.
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBTSDIO is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIUART is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBCM203X is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBPA10X is not set
# CONFIG_BT_MRVL is not set

      • Builds ath5k and ath9k support as modules. I'm not sure it's

possible to get these devices in USB form factor, but having them around
as modules seemed harmless.
+CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m
+CONFIG_ATH5K=m
+CONFIG_ATH9K=m

      • Build ath9k USB support - we actually have one of these and I will

be testing it again soon; it wouldn't work with the .30 linux. Note that
AR9170 does have firmware you need to download, but it is claimed that
the firmware is free software - see
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170.fw
"""
This page is for the ar9170 open firmware. ar9170.fw is the firmware for
the Atheros 802.11n USB chipset (AR9170). It was released by Atheros
under the GPLv2 License with a lot of contributions made by the
community. The firmware is maintained by the community.
"""
+CONFIG_AR9170_USB=m
+CONFIG_AR9170_LEDS=y

      • For the RT2500 USB wifi adapter, the oldest USB adapter we know uses

only free software to drive it.
+CONFIG_RT2X00=m
+CONFIG_RT2500USB=m
+CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_USB=m
+CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB=m
+CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_CRYPTO=y
+CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_RFKILL=y
+CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_LEDS=y

      • Support debugging of external USB keyboards (we are having a problem

with a USB2 keyboard)
+CONFIG_HID_DEBUG=y

      • Support external USB keyboards and mice

+CONFIG_USB_KBD=m
+CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=m

And these of C-Keen:

      • PPP support
      • GSM Modem support
      • Additional crypto support
