Hmmm. If you look at:
https://www.codeaurora.org/patches/quic/gobi/

there are a bunch of patches from various dates, with the latest being
06182010. The files are specific to certain hardware--for example,
VU936.Gobi2000Drivers_06182010.tar.gz contains Readme.txt files that
have information about "Gobi2000 network driver for Dell 1.0.110" and
"Gobi2000 Serial driver for Dell 1.0.80."

Right now I'm assuming that means the "Dell 5620" Gobi 2000 device,
which is what I have.

Another file, VR305.Gobi2000Drivers_06182010.tar.gz, contains Readme.txt
files stating it is for Asus. Another is for Sony, etc.

What these files do not have, is firmware. They are "Dual BSD/GPL"
licensed, so that would be incompatible with the proprietary firmware.

---Actually, i am sure this is for the "Dell 5620" Gobi 2000 device.
>From the QCSerial2kDell.c source:

static struct usb_device_id QCVIDPIDTable[] = 
{
   { USB_DEVICE(0x413c, 0x8185) },   // Dell Gobi 2000 QDL device
   { USB_DEVICE(0x413c, 0x8186) },   // Dell Gobi 2000 Modem Device
   { }                               // Terminating entry
};

Those device IDs are the device IDs for my Dell 5620 device.

I am guessing this is a replacement for gobi_loader? I've poked around a
tiny bit in the source but I'm no coder. I couldn't figure out how it
applies firmware.
