Not detecting Laptop Built in 3G card on Linux Mint Maya


Heya guys,

I just bought myself a new laptop, and it has a built in 3G modem. However, Linux does not seem to pick it up anywhere!

I did plug in 2 different kinds of 3G dongles, and they work fine. But the built in card doesn't show up.

Code:
~ $ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge DRAM Controller (rev 09)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller (rev 09)
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Panther Point USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 04)

03:00.2 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 0a)
Code:
~ $ uname -r

Code:
~ $ dmesg | grep net
[    2.435021] audit: initializing netlink socket (disabled)
