Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic

The WWAN (3g) module Ericsson F3507g on Toshiba laptops does not work
due to a bug (or missing feature) in the kernel module toshiba_acpi on
Ubuntu 9.04, Jaunty Beta.

The rfkill switch for the wwan module is turned on by default but cannot
be changed. Therefore, the device is not working in Linux. The problem
has also been reported in german in http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic
/umts-funzt-nicht/

In this forum, a patch for the toshiba_acpi module has been proposed
which allows to turn the rfkill switch on and off (similar to the
bluetooth module). Using this patch, the Ericsson F3507g wwan module is
work on my Toshiba R600 laptop.

the required patch can be found here:
