A friend of my daughter has converted from windows to Linux just yesterday but has a Sierra Aircard 312U wireless USB modem and cannot get internet on the laptop. I've spoent hours googling to no avail. Search shows that this modem is useless for Linux so can someone please tell me which wireless usb modems work best on all linux flavours, easy to set up, etc. There's got to be something but I haven't had any luck finding information. If this change is successful there could follow at least 3 others so I really need help here please. Cheers and thanks in advance
Quick question about the device....
What does it show up as when you plug it in and type lsusb?
I don't know, I'll ask tomorrow
Thanks Roger

Just out of curiosity, would switching to a wireless router that is compatible with the air card, such as the Cradlepoint MBR900 be a viable option?
I have never tried using a USB modem under linux, but I have used my phone as a modem before. Every time I have done this it has been as simple as setting up the modem dialer (KPPP) to dial #777 using the USB modem (phone) as a modem. I haven't tried with my most recent phone though.
