Yes Gobi 3000 GPRS Modem supported in Linux Kernel. Kernel version 2.6.31-14 will support Gobi 3000 GPRS Modem. All USB Gobi 3000 GPRS Modems have support in Linux Kernel version 2.6.31-14. This Kernel version 2.6.31-14 can be found in Ubuntu 9.10. Ubuntu 9.10 running on kernel2.6.31-14 and successfully it has all module that need to support Gobi 3000 GPRS Modem. You can also use only kernel2.6.31-14 or without Ubuntu 9.10. But in this case you will need extra module.
