Anybody around here have some tips/pointers on using an aircard natively in linux? By aircard, I mean one of those neat little devices that your local/national cellphone carrier offers for laptop connectivity. ( AT&T, T Mobile, or etc)

I did a little bit of google searching, found some interesting things.

It looks to me, I suppose, that sierra wireless is the best supported manufacturer of aircards for linux.

I found this how to:

But it seems somewhat daunting. Anybody seen a GUI type interface for aircards under linux? I've always been weak with CLIs.

Also, is sierra the only ones who are linux friendly? Which carriers are better? Any information you wish to add, please do.
