For what it's worth, I just set this same card up on a co-worker's IBM
x40 running SLED10. It was fairly straightforward and now works like a
champ. The instructions I used were found here
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/17600.html . This card was
not a Kyocera and did not use ttyUSB0, but other than that it worked
like a champ. Hope that helps. I'd be curious what error's cause the
drop.
