Little did I know it was not a plug and play usb unit. Is there anyone willing to e me the driver for win vista or tell me where the heck I can get one. Google is not help.

Maybe cause I'm way out in the boonies. The card is detected but I can't seem connect with it. Most likely its my location cause if all of you guys can get it to work without issues then must be on my part. I hope I can get this to work ! Seems it doesn’t work for me.

I just created a "Mobile Broadband" entry and selected a default and just changed the dial number and username (to a single period). But they should have an EVDO/#777 option in the menu when creating the connection since I think it applies to Sprint, Verizon, AllTel and the rest.

I've been trying to get my card working and after finding this I was finally pointed to the right file. All I had to do was add the second device ID to the file, since my card was already there just a slightly different version, and I'm up and running. Not sure it's using the right drivers though as I'm still not getting speeds close to what Windows does when it uses the same card. Thanks! Thank you!

NM did figure out the UM175 was a 3g modem, and did give me the Automatic CDMA Network option as well. Unfortunately, it didn't work until I added the USB id to the 10-modem.fdi file... Definitely a step in the right direction, but not quite there yet... I’d read that was supposed to be the case, and I just tried it earlier today on a Thinkpad running Intrepid Alpha 6.

When I plugged in my UM175 and right-clicked NetworkManager it gave me an "automatic CDMA network" option and it just freakin' worked. Very cool stuff.
