I found a link that you may or may not find useful - http://mycusthelpadmin.net/SIERRAWIRELESS/_cs/AnswerDetail.aspx?sSessionID=5180C4D3AD1341438EDD065089DFC5A4QTKEYQOQ&aid=44 It appears the drivers for this model aren't in by default on any Linux OS yet but they do have instructions for installing from that website. This may mean you need to follow these steps every time your kernel is upgraded though. -- Regards, Jared Norris https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
