"There's plenty of good news: The card is not
network locked (an MTN SIM
works fine in the "Vodafone" Novatel Merlin
U630 card); the card uses
standard serial-over-PCMCIA protocols; it uses standard
"at"
commands; neither the Vodacom nor MTN GPRS services
require any weird PPP
settings; MTN's GPRS network uses proper IP addresses and
I didn't notice
any weird filters. "
When I plug the card it, it isn't properly recognized by
the system, so I
can't get up the PPP connection. The one thing that I
did notice was that
the card seems to be providing USB style COM ports on the
PCMCIA
interface.
"serial-over-PCMCIA" and "USB style
COM" are different, but I can see
how someone with a working driver like our ugensa might not
notice the
messy difference. Can you post dmesg from plugging in?
See sys/dev/usb/ugensa.c. In current, I added support for
the Kyocera
card that Verizon uses for EVDO.
