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<http://www.sierrawireless.com/Support/Suppo...
-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.
This page here may be of some assistance:

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.
