Hello Christopher,

As this 3G modem could work with newer kenel, and the error message you pointed out is a "Firmware Bug",
I don't think this will be BIOS, related.

Thanks

Title:
  [Dell Latitude 6430u] 413c:819b 3G modem is not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  CID: 201208-11537 Dell Latitude 6430u

  There is a SIM card slot on this system, however, there is no such
  option for it to connect to 3G network in the Network Manager

  But there is one extra non-working Ethernet device in it, "Novatel
  Wireless HSPA" [413c:819b]

  I guess maybe it's for the 3G modem, but was incorrectly detected.

  Three devices detected by udev and Network Manager:
