Vagabond Aero,
you may need an external power injector to drive the USB modem. As I
understand it from previous messages on this list (circa late 2007^1 ),
the N800 and N810 can only deliver between 100ma and 200ma to the
interface.
Here, in case it helps you out. is the url to an article on how to do
this using Ubuntu on a pc/notebook/netbook:
http://www.jasons.org/2008/09/02/howto-verizon-um175-usb-evdo-card-under-ubuntu-hardy/
1. See email on this list from dufkaf@xxxxxxxxx dated 10/24/2007
