I have a 5520 internal pci thingy in my Dell laptop...Fedora hates it.

I'd love to find a flavor that worked with it.

The MiFi, iirc, is simply an 802.11 access point that has a cellular
uplink.  If you have an 802.11 interface, it should be fine - no
software needed on the client machine above and beyond a standard
802.11 stack iiuc.

I did a quick look, and Verizon has one, as does Sprint.  I didn't see
one for AT&T - that's not to say there isn't one, just I didn't see it
in their device offering.
