Novatel Merlin u730 HSPDA Card in Linux
Decided to try and get a friend’s u730 cellular data card working in Pyramid Linux last night. I thought it would pretty trivial since the card appears to use the same chipset as other EVDO/HSPDA cards already supported in the airprime module. But it turns out the device/vendor id combo is not in airprime. This [...]

It appears that the real world performance is not acceptable from some user complaints and the network appears to buckle under pressure! Imagine that, a wireless network buckling under pressure!
