Since I spent loads of my nerves and time of my life to get a built in UMTS modem in my HP ProBook 5320m up and running I decided to write down a very basic installation manual:
- Install gobi loader from the package system
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/gobi(this will create the firmware folder)- Download the Firmware and extract it
sudo cp UMTS/* /lib/firmware/gobi(this will copy the default firmware from folder Images/HP)- Look for the correct firmware (subfolders starting with 0,1,2,3,… - see list below)
sudo cp 4/* /lib/firmware/gobi(my carrier is T-Mobile)- Reboot, enter your credentials and be happy :)
