Along with that, anyone know of a mini-pci wan card that would work with verizon / Sprint? How about AT&T? Maybe the internal antenna wouldn't work well even if a card existed.<br><br>Anyone used mini-pci or USB devices with the UMPCs (EEE, Acer Aspire One, etc)?<br>
<br>9",2lb UMPC + WWAN + Linux would be nirvana. :)<br><br>Thanks,<br>Brian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/11/2 Jim Kinney <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim.kinney@gmail.com">jim.kinney@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

<br>Now if only the Verizon service was reliable....<br><br>
I have also used the older pcmcia card and it to worked quite well. I changed only because of a promised faster connection. I don't see a difference.<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br>
I am looking to get a wireless broadband card / service for my laptop, but wanted to know how the linux support was. Does anyone have any advice on hardware, or on service providers?<br>
<br>
I don't know much about wireless broadband, so feel free to throw your $.02 in.<br>
