Well, not that I have any specific information or experience with this modem, but you might want to have a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb/acm.txt on your local machine (assuming you have the kernel sources installed). If your USB modem happens to support the CDC ACM standard, then the information in that file should get you started.

So far I have connected the modem and it is recognized by the kernel; so I think I have what is needed as far as kernel configuration goes. Support for usb modems is still not in wicd therefore I am replacing wicd by networkmanager which apparently works with this modem under ubuntu. Will post more as I troubleshoot this. One thing is the authentication type. The modem works with 3G and 4G networks; apparently only 3G is supported by CDC ACM??? I've got the modem activated and its firmware upgraded using a Windows Vista laptop; so I know the modem works. Also most places I've been to only have 3G network; don't know what is going to happen in a 4G area. Later, -- Valmor
