Any idea if this USB device uses the Sierra Wireless driver? (I  
assume that your embedded module is Sierra Aircard MC87xx) Can you  
give me the real device ID? Im trying to find a USB 3G terminal to  
use with Linux in a marine application; as far as I can tell, the  
only linux 3G USB support is for sierra wireless, and Id be keen to  
know if their USB device works: this monster [http:// 
www.sierrawireless.com/product/mp875gps.aspx], shipping in February,  
is what I'm aiming at.
