OK,

I tried Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 and Segmantation error disappeared. I can
connect to my network, register subscribers, perform USSD but now I cannot
receive SMS.
In NITB logs I can see an error. <0022> gsm0411_smc.c:331 SMC(0) cannot
release yet current state: WAIT_CP_ACK

Don't you know what can it mean?
