This card won't work with any upstream kernel.  Here's what is needed:

Add the USB PID/VID to drivers/usb/serial/option.c

This will get you /dev/ttyUSB0 -> /dev/ttyUSB3

/dev/ttyUSB0 is the command port.  Issue the following command on that
port:

At$nwqmiconnect=,,

This will connect the card to the cell network.  Then cdc_ether takes
over and you can run a dhcp client on the interface created by the
cdc_ether driver.  Once this happens, you should have an ip address,
gateway, etc and you should be able to connect to the internet.

Some more AT commands:
To disconnect: At$nwqmidisconnect 
To get status: At$nwqmistatus 
To get signal strength: At$nwrssi 
To get your ip address:  at+cgpaddr
To see if the SIM is registered:  at$qcsimstat

I don't really understand the SIM registration, since it is a CDMA card
without a SIM, but it responds with: $QCSIMSTAT: 0,SIM INIT COMPLETED
