I have an HP Netbook Pavilion dm1.
Device is 03f0:241d Hewlett-Packard Gobi 2000 Wireless
It worked on a previous install, at least at some point.  Now the device
does not appear to be available [we appear to have at least the same
version of ModemManager - I do have
a /usr/lib/ModemManager/libmm-plugin-gobi.so].
Does NetworkManager / ModemManager initialize this device or does that
still fall to the gobi_loader?
Previously in /var/log/message we'd see -

The device configured as wwan0 "HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Module".
Now these additional devices do not appear [assuming the firmware is not
initialized].

Nevermind, I now have NetworkManager recognizing the device [at least].

It was a firmware issue.

Product: HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Module

If it's Verizon, you need to load CDMA/EVDO firmware, not UMTS firmware.
Which is why you get the wrong configuration in the dialog that asks for
a "Plan Name".  Try directory '1' perhaps; I have these MD5 sums:
06f76ed398458dad7b91c2d99a85a0a7  1/amss.mbn

So... with these firmware files the Network Settings still shows the broadband connection.

But turning the connection On immediately results in a Activation-of-network-failed message.

It doesn't log anything to /var/log/messages or the ring buffer.
