Hi I have been trying Ubuntu to detect and connect using the buit in mobile broadband capability in my HP 110 netbook but until now nothing seems to work

Output of lspci command:

00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev e2)
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02)

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8132 Fast Ethernet (rev c0)

Output of lsusb command:

So far I have been trying what is intended on several pages, trying to update firmware using wine and then moving .mda or whatever files the update package GobiInstaller.mdi throws out. The results are always the same: After running

Output of wine msiexec /a GobiInstaller.msi /qb TARGETDIR="c:\temp"
