I tested this on a Samsung N150 netbook that comes with a Gobi 2000 HD 3G modem but without success.

The firmware and hp_wmi kernel driver load successfully, and the wireless broadband appears in the Network Manager applet, but attempting to connect fails immediately without an error message.

It's also worth noting that the firmware that comes with the N150 is different from the firmware in the drivers that HP an Lenovo supply. Unfortunately, nobody at Samsung or Verizon took the trouble to post the driver online, so the only way to get the firmware is off the Windows partition that comes loaded with the netbook.
