Fix for Gobi broadband problem??

[ubuntu at bciassociates.net]

I recently bought a Dell Precision M4500 64-bit, promptly wiped off Windows 7 and proceeded to install Ubuntu Maverick 64-bit. All has went great until I tried to use this new Gobi chipset broadband built into the laptop. It is discovered in the bootup sequence, but isn't usable at all.

So, I went back to Win 7 to make sure it works, and it worked perfectly.

Also, I spent alot of time searching the newsgroups and forums and heard about all of the problems with Gobi in Ubuntu, and was wondering if anyone has heard if a fix is anywhere on the horizon???

None of the workarounds I found work.

Thanks, Jeff
