Current qcserial and gobi_loader doesn’t work for Gobi2000 devices. Some of the QDL handshakes have changed. I’ve updated the code and it works…upload it later…
http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader/
Add to qserial.c and rebuild kernel module
{USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x241d)}, /* HP un2420 Gobi QDL Device */
{USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0x251d)}, /* HP un2420 Gobi Modem Device */
Add to /etc/udev/rules.d/60-gobi.rules
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="241d", RUN+="gobi_loader
$env{DEVNAME} /lib/firmware/gobi"
Keyboard Shortcuts
Menu->System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts->Desktop->Launch Calculator->Disable (Backspace)
Sound
Add to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5 enable_msi=1

Thank you so much for the correct audio sound configuration!
Uploaded the changed code anywhere?
I’m dualbooting with Windows 7 and can only see one device id for the Gobi ( 03f0:231d ). Any ideas on how to get Gobi to play nice with dualboot?
Seems I now, after modprobe hp-wmi also see it as 03f0:241d.
Still, even with gobi_loader, no luck.
What would it take to bribe you to write a step by step? You seem to be the only
Already added IDs to gcserial.c, make, make install, for gobi_loader make and make install as well, updated /etc/udev/rules.d/60-gobi.rules to have03f0:241d in it.
/lib/udev/gobi_loader /dev/ttyUSB0 /lib/firmware/gobi takes a while and does not complain, yet nothing works with network manager (does not even show tho mobile connection option) and even wvdial cannot see the modem.
oops: you seem to be the only person with actually the same laptop as I have, who has reported getting gobi working on the device.
Will post will post
Was just lacking motivation and wanted to rewrite gobi_loader such that its more of a readable code than the ‘magic’ it is now 
E-mailed you the current source I have that works.
For test purposes you could skip qcserial and modifying your udev.
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x03f0 product=0x241d./gobi2kloader /dev/ttyUSB0 /lib/firmware/gobi/
Wait a bit…check with lsusb…then…
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x03f0 product=0x251dMight need to restart modem-manager (just kill it)
Gobi_loader 0.3 will just hang by the way…
Oh just realised where you’re from…:) Huomenta!
Will gladly take some KarlFazer Nordic Gourmet Lingonberry Milk Parfait hehe
Oh, seems I also need a UQCN.mbn file in addition to the other two files… I wonder how to find the right one.
In your Windows 7 Install, in your Qualcomm driver directory (find it?) there should be a log file called QDLService2kHP.txt
In it you should find….
12/11/2009 06:42:25.592 [00460] QDL sending image file: C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\Images\HP\UMTS\AMSS.mbn
12/11/2009 06:42:26.472 [00460] Sending image file: C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\Images\HP\UMTS\Apps.mbn
12/11/2009 06:42:26.792 [00460] Sending image file: C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\Images\HP\0\UQCN.mbn
Or something similar, copy those 3 referenced files to /lib/firmware/gobi.
Hope that helps
(Quick reply?)
Nice pice of Hardware with nice performance and features.
But the only disadvantage is the single slot for RAM. A upgrade to 4gigs is very expensive.
I also have problems with audio and the gobi module.
I have solved the audio problem with the following entry in the alsa-base.conf file:
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4 enable_msi=1
I have tried allready other settings, but when sound was working the mic won’t and vice versa.
The gobi problem i haven’t solved yet. I have tried gobi_loader and the qcserial mod but i haven’t got a ttyUSB device.
Then i have read the post from “http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg25137.html” and was happy that this is no major problem.
What do you have changed to get this gobi-device working?
Hi Tom,
I’ve Emailed Lynoure the instructions and she has it working (kind of apparently) now. Give me a couple of days to leave Las Vegas and I’ll post up everything in a how-to
Check back in a couple of days!
Hi,
Thanks a lot for the tips. Do you have Ethernet working? I’ve installed 9.10, and default sky2 driver does not seem to work at all
Hi,
The sky2 driver is broken in karmic. But when you enable the “karmic-proposed” software-sources you get the newest already working sky2 driver.
Why do you say its broken?
[ 1.853102] sky2 driver version 1.23
[ 1.869059] sky2 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
[ 1.869113] sky2 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
[ 1.869206] sky2 0000:03:00.0: Yukon-2 Extreme chip revision 2
[ 1.869939] sky2 0000:03:00.0: irq 28 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 1.870998] sky2 eth0: addr 00:26:22:ab:ff:a5
[ 4.161445] sky2 eth3: enabling interface
Seems to be working for me… and I’ve used wired Ethernet…
I think the problem is only with the 64bit version.
Its Bug Nr.:407824 on Launchpad.net.
The solution is to add “pci=use_crs” to the kernel load command.
It seems to be a Problem on 64bit.

Hi,
I’m in the same predicament, I seem to have the newer style Gobi card which isn’t quite working with the process you’ve put together; will check back in a few days.
Thanks again, much appreciated.

Edit : Uploaded the modified qcserial.c and a gobi2kloader.c
Wordpress wouldn’t let me upload the udev rules file for some reason… probably won’t let me do the Makefile either… This is only for people who can’t wait anyway…
Thanks for the update, I’ve got a plug in dongle which I’m using for the time being, just would be nice to go dongle free.
I greatly appreciate your work with the code. I’m having problems with gobi2kloader after upgrading to kernel 2.6.32. You can operate the gobi2kloader with kernel 2.6.32?
I’m on 2.6.31 and have not tried with 2.6.32. Have you tried the code posted in http://www.madox.net/blog/2010/01/06/hp5310m-un2420-wireless-gobi2000-module-in-ubuntu/ , it isn’t quite so hacktastic
Hi,
I tried this code.
The code works perfectly for the kernel 2.6.31 but when I boot with the 2.6.32, gobi2kloader not work.
The code hangs after the first file is loaded. QDL protocol server response received (-1).
I suspect the problem is the usbcore.
