** 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.
