Hmm, I might try turning off the faux-CDROM feature, but I suspect it won't help.

What's happening is that it does get detected as a 3G network adapter, looks as if it's about to connect with little green whirly and all, but then after a few seconds it says disconnected again. Also (inconsistently) sometimes the checkbox for "Enable Mobile Network" becomes unchecked and is impossible to turn back on.

But the owner is about to travel to Australia so I've decided probably the easiest thing is to put the original Windows back on, which solves the wireless problem and also means it'll be easier for her to get support in general. At least it'll be a clean install and not the broken mess I was originally presented with.

Sierra's website says this device is compatible with Linux.

Any suggestions?

Does this device also load as a USB stick?

If it does, may a race condition is developing between loading as a communications device or a storage device.
