I have the laptop here at home for the weekend and still have trouble getting the Sierra aircard 312U modem to work.
Following instruction on the Sierra site: http://www.sierrawireless.com/Support/SupportCenter.aspx
-Have installed the kernel module provided by Sierra for the latest kernel.
-modinfo sierra shows the correct version
-modinfo-sierra_net shows that ist's installed in /lib/modules/x/x/x/x/x/x/sierra_net.ko
-ls /dev/ttyUSB* shows /dev/ttyUSB0 to3
ifconfig does not show the usb,
it only has etho, lo and wlan0 so now I'm stuck as to where to go from here.
Can someone please advise
thanks in advance

It looks to me like you just need to get the settings figured out to get the modem to connect, and the modem itself is already working. Like I mentioned previously, every time I've used my phone as a modem, I just use a dialer like KPPP and dial #777 as the access number. I use Sprint though, so the settings that you would use are probably different.

It looks like Telstra uses *99# as its access number and telstra.internet as its apn which some networks require.
What version of Fedora/Linux are you running? I have a Fedora 15 box here with a HUWEI modem (no sim card though), and it seems pretty straight-forward to get it to connect. In Network Connections, there is a Mobile Broadband tab. If you click Add, it launches a wizard to add a new connection. It will first ask you which modem/connection device to use, the next screen will prompt you for the region, the next screen will prompt you for a carrier, or you can enter one manually. The final screen shows you all 3 selections that you just made. When you click apply, it will prompt you to enter a connection name, and update the Number, username, and password.
When you have that done, you just select the connection from Network Manager to connect. With the hardware I have on hand here, I can see that the modem is attempting to connect to the network, but as I don't have a SIM card in this modem (it is for international travel), it doesn't actually connect.
I hope this is helpful.
