Yes, that's your WWAN. The ID 05c6:9221 means, that the correct
firmware has not yet been loaded. After successfully loading the
firmware, the entry reads:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 05c6:9222 Qualcomm, Inc.

Now, how to load the firmware? The loader itself, a small C program,
should come with 9.10, along with the required udev rule to do the
loading automatically.

What is probably missing is the firmware itself. You need to copy two
files over from Windows. These are

/lib/firmware/gobi/amss.mbn
/lib/firmware/gobi/apps.mbn

The loader should pick them up automatically.

On my Z31 these files can be found here:

<Windows-Volume>/QUALCOMM/QDLService/Packages/

You need to find the firmware appropriate for your region. I did this
back in April and can't remember offhand which the one was I am using.

To make sure that UDEV has a rule for Gobi, check if this file exists:

/etc/udev/rules.d/60-gobi.rules

These are the contents:
