I've updated drivers as recommended here: http://sierrawireless.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/500 but the rest isn't working. This web site seems interesting: http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2007/09/14/how-to-use-a-cingular-sierra-wireless-875-card-on-ubuntu-gutsy/ but is working with an older ver of Ubuntu AND I don't understand what is going on, specificity "ctrl-O" (nothing seems to stick). Any help would be great!

I assume you're using KDE, since you said you were using kppp... I've
never had to work with this, but from some experience with my friend's
3G card plugin...under gnome-ubuntu, he's never had to do anything with
his AT&T card... just plug it in, and say 'connect to 3G' in the network
manager. is there any reason why you can't do this on the kubuntu
equivalent?
