It's my impression that these modems evenually all distill down to USB
ACM ("Modem") devices; the USB devices directly, and the PC-Card versions
being OHCI USB Host Controllers on the PC-Card side.
I might not have worded my concerns properly; I'm not so much worried
about being able to connect the 3G card to my system as much as I seem to
understand that once connected, there's some sort of "Connection Manager"
which (warning: technical terms ahead!) "sends stuff" to "some server" to
authenticate you.
Hopefully I'm wrong and there's a way around it (i.e., I use wpa_supplicant
to talk to T-Mobile's 802.1x secure network w/o using their client at
all). I figure someone's done it (a precursory Googling didn't reveal
much, though) with the penetration of Linux being what it is.
