[Bug 601571] Re: [PATCH] Gobi 3G (gobi_loader/qcserial) does not work out of the box

[Paul Sladen]

** Description changed:

  Gobi is a type of WWAN 3G wireless chipset made by Qualcomm and shipped
  in some notebooks (eg. ThinkPads).  It is particularly notable for being
  able to act as both a CDMA2000 and a GSM/WCDMA transceiver.
  
  The mode is selected by the firmware loaded on initialisation.  The
  device shows up over USB initially as a dumb, firmware loading endpoint,
  at which point udev rules poke 'gobi_loader" to find and inject the
  relevant firmware, after which the device reinitialises and shows up as
  a standard USB serial interface endpoint.

  Unfortunately, the version in Ubuntu 10.04 does not work out of the box,
  apparently requiring some degree of unspecified patching/customisation.
  
  Kernel patches needed:

  Regression from Ubuntu 9.10.

+ Userspace component also needs syncing from:
