I have the card referenced above and it does not show up in Network Manager. I have verified that my 10-modem.fdi file has the changes listed above. I have not had any luck getting this card to work.

Results of lsusb:

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 413c:8134 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 5720 Sprint Mobile Broadband (EVDO Rev-A) Minicard Status Port

I can second that the card still fails to show up in Networkmanager. In my case however, it is the same card, but the Telus version.

Same as above. There is no more "airprime" driver, so I can't load that to test it. I still have to "modprobe usbserial vendor=0x413c product=0x8134" in order to load the card, at which point network-manager offers me the mobile broadband option. Verified that 10-modem.fdi includes 0x8134 in the proper location.

Latitude E6400
