Yup. Exact details are a bit fuzzy in my memory, but I believe this is
a BIOS (or whatwever the current "PC firmware" buzzword is) problem.
The modem is problably disabled by the PC firmware rfkill ("flight
mode") implementaion. This means that you need a platform specific
driver to enable it. It is not a modem driver problem but a *laptop*
driver problem.
You should looking at the loaded platform rfkill driver(s). Is this
'hp-wmi'? Does 'rfkill list' show anything useful? Are there physical
switches you can toggle?
