any one has any idea on how good the reliance pcmcia wireless cdma card

Worked with it for 2 days on my client's pc. Works very nicely in
Windows and the connection is good. Bandwidth availability unfortunately
depends on who else around you is using the service. At the moment,
connectivity is good.
Saw the SAP guys using it. They told me it works effectively in small
cities also and they have not faced problems with it so far.
More imp... has anyone worked it with linux.. and if so... any issues
The biggest issue is the price. 15K is a very high sum to pay since the
same is available on ebay for 3-5K.
Unfortunately, I dont think Reliance will allow you to use a card not
bought from them.
Incidentally, Tata has the same service and has cut the price from 15K
to 10K.
with it ?

AFAIK, Reliance uses Sierra Wireless' Aircard 555. The FAQ on Sierra's
site has a link to their knowledge base article on how to make it work
on Linux. Officially the card is not supported on Linux.

Novell / Suse has (I am told) spent significant man-hours and got it
working on suse. They may be able to give details on how it gets done.
Reliance guys have no idea on linux.
