Thanks all for your answer, that helps a lot. I had to do the same trick with the mass storage for my Sprint EVDO U720 dongle. I had one of the early version and it started to work after a firmware upgrade as you said. What I need at the end of the day is a WiMAX device (preferably a dongle or PCMCIA) with drivers available for Linux. I went to the Asus website but they don't seem to offer the option. Did you get it through regular sales channels or directly from the engineering department ? Seems like it is only available in Asia or Russia (I'm in the U.S) I would not mind going the Beceem/Motorola road if it is available. My experience with early test version of the PMCIA Beceem card was horrendous, even under Windows. Did you get the hardware/software through your connections at your previous job ? How would one get his hands on the software/hardware combo ? Nicolas On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 2:45 PM, charles zhuang < charlesz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have tried it.
