  "There's plenty of good news: The card is not network locked (an MTN SIM
  works fine in the "Vodafone" Novatel Merlin U630 card); the card uses
  standard serial-over-PCMCIA protocols; it uses standard "at"
  commands; neither the Vodacom nor MTN GPRS services require any weird PPP
  settings; MTN's GPRS network uses proper IP addresses and I didn't notice
  any weird filters. "

  When I plug the card it, it isn't properly recognized by the system, so I
  can't get up the PPP connection.  The one thing that I did notice was that
  the card seems to be providing USB style COM ports on the PCMCIA
  interface.

"serial-over-PCMCIA" and "USB style COM" are different, but I can see
how someone with a working driver like our ugensa might not notice the
messy difference.  Can you post dmesg from plugging in?

See sys/dev/usb/ugensa.c.  In current, I added support for the Kyocera
card that Verizon uses for EVDO.=20=20
