[SLE] Cannot get wireless EVDO card (Merlin S620) to work in SUSE 10.1



I have a Sprint broadband PCMCIA card (Merlin S620), and I am
running SUSE 10.1. I have seen some web notes about using modprobe
and ppp to get it to work, but these procedures don't work on SUSE 10.1.

I have registered the card and it does work under Windows.

I tried using ndiswrapper. It did not work. I found two .inf files
from WinXp install CD: nwusbmdm.inf nwusbser.inf.
The ndiswrapper command ran without errors, but did not show
"hardware present".

Also, when I insert the card, it does not cause any new entries in
the "lspci" output. However, I still get the kernel message:
pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0

The lsusb command does not show any new entries after the card is inserted.

I have tried the recommended "modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1410 product=0x1110".
It has no effect.

Some directions suggest looking at /proc/bus/usb/devices, but in suse 10.1, that file does not exist.

Any ideas on how to get 10.1 to see this device?

Thanks!!

David
