networkmanager wwan options not displayed in nm extension

I am having trouble enabling my Qualcomm Gobi built-in 3g modem. Gnome 3's networkmanager extension displays only 'Wired' and 'Wireless' networks but no 'wwan/Mobile broadband' options.
I can use nm-connection-editor to specify my mobile broadband setting but not enable the device.
The Gobi firmware is installed.
The output of lsusb is

lsusb

and dmesg shows

dmesg | grep modem

Any suggestions to appreciated!
