I use the same versions (as mentioned below) under Funtoo (3.16.2-3=20
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4600U CPU @ 2.10GHz GenuineIntel). Nothing to add=20
(from an end-user perspective) besides than loading the "cdc_ncm"=20

slow-down quite a bit the overall boot experience.

Not sure, maybe some kind of a script that would work on-demand, would=20
perform better (i.e. won't slow-down booting).
