Well, I've got a post on this blog telling how to get the Sierra Wireless Aircard 595U working on Fedora. I opted for the manual method, I'm sure there are others.
The good news, is now with the advent of Fedora 9, all that is obsolete! As mentioned in previous posts, I had an outage on my home Internet connection. With mobile broadband support in NetworkManager being a feature of F9, I figured that I should probably test it. So, I just plugged in my card to my Fedora 9 laptop, and up came "Auto CDMA Network Connection" in the NetwokManager menu, selected it, and just like that, I'm on the Internet at Sprint-speed!
I encountered a bug, whereby there were three CDMA network connections displayed instead of one. It was actually a hal bug, and Dan Williams had it corrected, a package built, and I had tested this package in perhaps a record 29 minutes!
