Wow, where to start... executive summary: YOU should go hack your pccardd.conf RIGHT NOW because i think YOUR aircard will actually work! :-) congrats! your aircard is a different model then the one in the thread from november. you have a 555 and not a 510. your dumpcis appears to have correctly parsed the cis, so it's not unreasonable to think that it might work. so copy a nic entry and go from there. consulting the sierra wireless page...wow cdma 2k! neeto! how much was the card and how much is the monthly cost?
