    The Novatel U727 has detail instructions on how to get their air card to work with Linux but of course it doesn't work with mine. Here is what I do and the error I get:

    Open Terminal
    Type “sudo modprobe –r usbserial”
    Type “sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1410 product=0x4100”

    The error says:
    Error inserting usbserial (/lib/modules/2.6.23.91w/kernal/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko): unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter.

    I check the dmesg and this is what it has to say:
    "usbserial: Unknown Parameter 'vendor'"

    Any clue what I have to do to get my sprint wireless to work around this problem? I am totally new to Linux but I can usually follow instructions well.

    Thanks a Million!
