CDMA is a Mobile (Cell phone) communication standard (not a propriety
wi-fi standard). This is a connect to the network via your mobile phone
type thing. CDMA is not commonly used outside US/South East Asia... Rest
of the world tends to be GSM/3G.

EVDO gives broadband data connectivity over CDMA...

Do not think this will work on Linux yet, unless the manufacturer has a
linux driver. Not enough time for someone to do the relevant reverse
engineering....
