Bug Description

I've just purchased a Lenovo T410s and it has a built in WWAN adapter which does not show up in the network-manager.

Here is my output from lsusb

I haven't got it working yet as I haven't installed Windows 7 to get the firmware for the device.

I've also noticed that it doesn't reload after you resume from suspend or hibernate so I had to write a little reload script which I run manually after a resume:

#!/bin/sh
gksudo gobi_loader /dev/ttyUSB0 /lib/firmware/gobi/
gksudo pkill modem-manager

(I copied my compiled gobi_loader into /usr/local/bin)
