I just submitted a patch for this card up stream? What distro are you running? You try Ubuntu Intrepid ? You will need hal entries for it to find it in your distro. I use the ATT Sierra Wireless now. Only thing with Ubuntu Intrepid (as temporary work around till network manager gets updated), you will need to remove the APN entry. After that it will just works. I use the PCMCIA version of this card with my Thinkpad T61 daily.
