Actually this is what I use in the car with a Netgear WNDR3700V1 unit. http://www.ofmodemsandmen.com/downloads.html FunnelWeb was my choice. (ROOTer, it's actually based on OpenWRT -- it works for me) Hardware options (both routers and modems) are listed on the site too, so best to find something that is known to work. http://www.ofmodemsandmen.com/supported.html I had no activation issues to consider, can't remember if the above link talks about alternative activation options; but I'm sure that I've read something somewhere...
