Re: nm-tool doesn't show my mobile broadband card

[John Mahoney <jmahoney waav com>]

I am surprised that "/sbin/lsmod option" solved your issue. 
1. That is not even a valid command. 
2. The driver should auto load on most modem distros.

If for some reason you really did have to manually load the driver. You would probably want to use "modprobe option" so that the usbserial driver which the option driver depends on is also loaded

I guess I am rambling and if it works it works.  I just found it rather peculiar that running "/sbin/lsmod option" fixedJohn your issue

Never mind, problem was me: I had to load the "option" driver:

 /sbin/lsmod option

Now everything works fine.
