I've submitted my first attempt at a patch for this. I just copied the relevant lines for this specific device ID from the sierra.c driver provided by SierraWireless on their website. I tested it on my machine running Ubuntu 12.04 with the 3.2.0-24-generic kernel. The patch was generated against the latest linux-git from kernel.org. It compiled successfully without errors, and my device (Sierra Wireless AirCard 320U) now works and connects to the Internet after I install the updated device driver. I didn't include any device IDs for other new SierraWireless devices, as I don't have any other devices to test with. Please let me know if there is anything that requires fixing/updating on the patch, as I don't have a huge amount of experience working with C and git.
