I have a HP mini 210 running ubuntu.
My netbook has a sim slot and thus I want to connect it to mobile internet.
How can I do so?

You can insert your SIM card in the slot and follow the instructions given here. In short, after you insert your SIM card, type Network connections in the dash and click Add, select Mobile Broadband and follow the on-screen instructions.

Also you need appropriate drivers for the slot to work. To see if there's any, go to System Settings - Software and Updates - Additional Drivers. Install the listed drivers (if any) that you can relate to WWAN.

EDIT: According to the output of your lsusb, I think the Gobi 2000 is the driver you want to use. If you can not find this from 'Additional drivers' from the above step try installing gobi-loader by (you need internet connection (wifior ethernet, I hope you can enable there in your laptop):

sudo apt-get install gobi-loader

and following instructions here or here help you.

Basically you need to extract the drivers from windows.
