There is however also a mini-pci express > version of the Sierra card, the MC8775. For the archives, I was able to get the card working with the latest version of the driver from the SVN tree! (http://people.freebsd.org/~n_hibma/u3g.html) For the hardware, I used http://www.pcengines.ch/alix6b2.htm with RELENG_7 and nanobsd. The board has dual SIM slots, but there are no drivers to switch between the two, so just the top one works. When I bought the mini-pciexpress card (or PCI Express Mini Card), it was listed as a MC8775, where as ati3 shows a Sierra MC8781. I bought it on ebay from the US and it works fine using my Roger's blackbery SIM here in Ontario, Canada. # cat /var/run/dmesg.boot Copyright (c) 1992-2008 The FreeBSD Project.
