CentOS - Jul 2007 - CentOS 5 - Dell Latitude d630 - Vodaphone 3g Card

Hi

I may be forced to move from my mac book pro onto a dell laptop, spit, 
but i sure as heck dont want to have to run windows so.... Does anyone 
know how easy it is to get CentOS to work with a vodaphone 3g card?

I see that it should be possible and a couple of reports of it working 
under gentoo etc but i wonder if anyone here has had any experience of 
this at all?

thanks

Hi Tom,

I haven't seen any other responses to this, so hopefully this will help.

You didn't say what model card you have, but I have a (I believe) Merlin
U630 card which shows up as a standard serial port using the serial_cs
module under CentOS4 (2.6.9-42.0.10.EL). The same card also worked under
SLES in the previous machine.

I am using this card in a desktop machine in a PCMCIA->PCI adaptor for
sending and receiving SMS messages (network monitoring alerts, etc)

Regards
Darryl
