Hi,

I'm trying to get my (Dell D420) internal 3G card working with NetBSD
(4.0_BETA2). I tried booting GENERIC, GENERIC_LAPTOP, XEN3_DOM0 (yes,
playing with virtualization too :) and a modified GENERIC (to get VESA and
MP support). None of them seem to attach the device.

According to the Windows utility, the card is the following:
Firmware Version: 27.2
Manufacturer: Novatel Wireless, Inc.
Device Name: Dell Wireless 5505 Mobile Broadband (3G HSDPA)
Device Model: Expedite EU740
Technology: GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA

Anyone knows if it should work on NetBSD ?
If so, which device name should I look up for (in kernel's conf) ?

TIA,
    Jo
