had to do two things beyond the avilable instructions.

rename
/lib/firmware/SW_8xx_SER.cis
to
/lib/firmware/SW_7xx_SER.cis

and add the a udev rule (all one line)

BUS==”pcmcia”, SYSFS{prod_id1}==”Sierra Wireless”, SYSFS{prod_id2}==”AC860″, NAME=”modem”

hope this works for you.

Modem initializes fine though. I’ve got the aircard 860 working on Slackware 10.2 (Backtrack v1) and GPRS Easy Connect installed but for some reason dialing into Cingular not working yet.

I've got more drives somewhere, if I can replace this drive in my desktop, maybe I'll install linux on it. I don't have seperate gaming & desktop machines anymore, but I do have the original LT still, and it's just a celeron, but it's.. here. and loud. i don’t think i’ll reinstall. the update seems to work okay. i may run something side by side, but I don’t have the laptop hardware for XGL I don’t think. so I won’t tinker with that too much. my laptops are mostly for working on networks and having something to use at SWN hack night when everyone is talking.

I've yet to install it on my laptop, and I'm just going to update beta on this desktop. I think I'll install the stable on my thinkpad. <br/><br/>Today I tried to get Cedega (formerly winex) working on this installation, and I think it works. I just gotta finish installing a game that would work it, put her on the floor and see how she plays sorta thing. <br/><br/>I'll try wpa_supplicant with the Orinoco if I start on that tomorrow. If you do mess with WPA2 on your netgear, you might have to install the new Network package, that's what I heard was done. Well, that and an ndis wrapper, like I said before. <br/><br/>Blog replies are awkward.

I have not used WPA2 with the Netgear, which I'm all but convinced it is broken at this point. I did successfully using WPA with wpa_supplicant.<br/><br/>The orinoco is supposed to do WPA, but you have to compile agere's modules with wpa_supplicant I believe. wpa_supplicant says it supports agere, but says something about it not being configured when I try to run it at this time.

Orinoco won't do it, but the Netgear should. Of course, I have a friend who uses Ubuntu with WPA2 with the same WG511T card I have, and all he has are complaints.

I haven't really played with it yet much. I know southern maine had something, Jason used to have it a long time ago, but I can't even recall what it was. For his palm pilot.

To bad Maine doesnt have internet thru Cellular:( Anyway I'm curious, I love my Itronix laptops (yes plural) They have cellular modems one is made by RIM (of blackberry fame) but I cant find a single provider for this modem. Piss me off. I know this was sorta off topic but maybe it helped. Or someone will say Ben this company will sell you internet for your Itronix.
