Unlike the X300 the X301 comes with a 3G / GPRS mobile boradband MiniPCIe Card from Ericsson.

The Card should be supported by the option driver. You might need to patch your Kernel. A patch for the 2.6.27 Kernel can be found here.

After loading the module with modprobe option you'll find four five(?!) new ttyUSBx devices. And one new ttyACMx device. You can use ttyACMx (where x = 0) to use the card like any other 3G modem.

Activating GPS

The Card even has a GPS chip.

You can activate it by sending

AT+CFUN=1
AT*E2GPSCTL=1,10,1
AT*E2GPSNPD

to /dev/ttyACM0 After this you will have the GPS device on ttyACM2. You can attach gpsd to ttyACM2.

Option module maybe unnecessary

The option module mentioned above is maybe unnecessary because all needed devices (ttyACM[0-2]) are created by the cdc_acm module anyhow.

Note: I didnt tested all this by myself. I just worte a summary on what I read on the Ubuntu Forum and here
