Bug Description
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.

Regression from Ubuntu 9.10.
