I went to the sierra web page and it doesn't list linux as being supported but I thought someone had ported the driver to linux already? I am also wandering if I can get this card working in openwrt on an Asus 500g premium router. It just sucks using a computer with internet sharing.

Thanks

You really ought to search the forum before posting - your question has been answered quite thoroughly.

Sierra doesn't "directly" support their devices on Linux, but the guy that writes the Linux drivers works there.

I found the supported linux driver sierra.c. I was wandering if I could compile it into the 2.6 kernal? I am sure I can but my knowledge is limited. It says you need the driver since the card doesn't use standard AT commands. I would also like to use KPPP gui since I am doing this for my brother-in-law and it might be easier for him to use since it is a gui. I also found the ppp script files for this card.

Thanks for your help.

Already done for you in the 2.6 images.

It actually does, and I'm not sure where you got that.  Even so, yes - you should use the sierra.c driver.

That's not the way this works - KPPP runs against local modems on the physical hardware KDE is running on; you are presumably plugging this modem into a router running OpenWRT, in which case it will take care of all the dialup for you via hotplug - you really should look into the 'comgt' package which provides appropriate PPP scripts and hotplug scripts.

Wow, thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. Now that you mention this it seems pretty simple to configure.
