[NTLUG:Discuss] Any idea how to get a Sprint EVDOwirelessbroadband card to

[David Trusty]

I tried using ndiswrapper.  It did not work.  I found two .inf files
from WinXp install CD: nwusbmdm.inf  nwusbser.inf.
The ndiswrapper command ran without errors, but did not show
"hardware present".

Also, when I insert the card, it does not cause any new entries in
the "lspci" output.  However, I still get the kernel message:
   pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

David
