Yay, im finally up and running, I had ordered a PCI to PCMCIA adapter off ebay and was waiting for it to come from Hong Kong. It came yesterday..

Getting it online was a bit tricky, but I finally got it, I think it was just a matter of knowing what /dev I was supose to use.

Forums are a lifesaver, between here and evdo forums, I was able to get er done!

Although in the end, after I tried some command line commands following the sprint instructions for linux, and after writing comand line files and chat scripts, I think I wound up not needing any of that, I was able to configure it in KPPP once I realized the path for the aircard was /dev/ttyACM0

summary, for a linux newbie. Im stoked to have my Mobile broadband card up and running. LOL
