3G/UMTS driver for Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad X61/T61 is not loaded automatically

Bug Description

The 3G/UMTS driver for Sierra Wireless devices in X61/T61 Lenovo Thinkpads isn't loaded correctly (vendor/product id isn't recognized).

A rule in /etc/udev/rules.d fixes this (I don't know whether this is the correct way to handle this)

50-sierra-umts.rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6813", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1199", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1199 product=0x6813"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6813", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1199", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe sierra"

Using the information found from Windows driver, it's an MC8775 device too.

The attached diff should be enough to get it working well with Gutsy.
