I am considering the Sierra (USB) Air Card 595U as it has an external antenna connection. (I am 7 miles from a tower, and beyond DSL or cable)
Well, Folks! I am pleased to report that the Sprint/Sierra AC595U is working beautifully on opensuse 10.2, following a very simple modprobe restart to the serial driver. I am in the sticks, and getting a rather solid 22kB/s, with no external antenna...that will improve, I'm sure. Sprint tells me they are scheduled to upgrade this location to EV-DO next May. As it is, it sure beats the dial-up rate I had of 3.6 kB! I can't wait to try it in Albuquerque in the morning... Greg KH, you are the man of the hour, Sir!
