@Tom Inglis and tomx: following are the steps I did to get the device working. I didn't create a wiki page because I couldn't find the right place and ubuntuguide.org doesn't let me edit. And maybe some day this bug will be fixed and getting the device to work will be easier :)
## Download the firmware and copy it to the right place I have a ThinkPad T510, so I downloaded the driver from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-72938 and installed it on Windows. Then I copied the files from c:\Programme\QUALCOMM\Images\Lenovo\6 and c:\Programme\QUALCOMM\Images\Lenovo\UMTS to /lib/firmware/gobi (you'll have to create that folder). Check http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01738839&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN to find out which folders are right for you ## Install the kernel patch and gobi_loader Open a terminal mkdir umts cd umts wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/46353288/usb-wwan-2.6.32.diff sudo apt-get install linux-source tar xjf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2 mkdir temp cd ./linux-source-2.6.32 patch -p1 < ../usb-wwan-2.6.32.diff cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/.config ../temp cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/Module.symvers ../temp cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/Makefile . make O=../temp outputmakefile make O=../temp archprepare make O=../temp prepare make O=../temp modules SUBDIRS=scripts make O=../temp modules SUBDIRS=drivers/usb/serial/ sudo cp ../temp/drivers/usb/serial/usb_wwan.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ sudo cp ../temp/drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ sudo cp ../temp/drivers/usb/serial/option.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ sudo /sbin/depmod -a cd .. wget http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader/download/gobi_loader-0.5.tar.gz tar -xzf gobi_loader-0.5.tar.gz cd gobi_loader-0.5/ make sudo make install cd ../.. rm -r umts Now reboot the system and the NetworkManager applet should have an "activate mobile broadband" option lsusb shows "Bus 002 Device 004: ID 05c6:9205 Qualcomm, Inc."
