Here is where I am on this, the card looks like USB serial ports, I found that
I had to do a modprob to insert a module:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0af0 product=0x6701
Then I can run a program called umtsmon, which then starts talking to the
modem. I am having to run it as root because one of the 3 ports, ttyUSB2
for some reason only has root access. Not sure why, but now the next step
is to start passing data. I have to figure out where to stick that modprob
command as it needs to be done after the card is inserted and running.
Once I get that automated then I need to figure out why the one port has
root access only and get that fixed as umtsmon will run as a non-root
process just fine. By way umtsmon is a general purpose tool for these
cards you might give it a look, it is on SourceForge:
