Comment 168 for bug 554099

The workaround is *not* working for me, I cannot activate the device from Ubuntu. lsusb shows
     Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05c6:9204 Qualcomm, Inc.
and when I run
     sudo gobi_loader -2000 /dev/ttyUSB0 /lib/firmware/gobi
it just hangs. :-(

However, if I boot into Windows and initiate the Verizon connection there, and then reboot back into Ubuntu, the setup DOES work - I see "Verizon connection" in the network manager dropdown; the lsusb shows "05c6:9205"; and I can connect, disconnect, reconnect successfully. Unfortunately, after suspend and resume, or after shutdown and powering back on, the device is deactivated (05c6:9204) and I can't reactivate it from Ubuntu.

Any ideas? What additional info can I provide to help debug this?

I'm running Maverick 10.10 with kernel 2.6.35-23 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X201 with Gobi 2000 / Verizon CDMA.
