Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

The Toshiba M400 carries an HSDPA modem which is USB attached.

Through investigation and poking, it turns out that it is an Airprime USB serial device. The Airprime driver in drivers/usb/serial/airprime.c does not contain the USB ID for this modem.

Here is the appropriate line for the driver:

        { USB_DEVICE(0x0930, 0x1303) }, /* Toshiba (Novatel Wireless) HSDPA for M400 */

I hope this gets into gutsy's kernel as I need the device working in order to get my mail when away from home.
