I'm sending this from an airport using a cingular-branded 860 running
4.0 on X41.

pccom3 at pcmcia0 function 1 "Sierra Wireless, AC860, 3G Network Adapter" port 
0xa3f8/8: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo

However all is not perfect.

I am using pppd, not ppp (though I have done some testing with ppp).
And I am also testing with a net4521.

My config is below.  What I have observed on both the X41 and net4521:

- It seems to work only once after its ejected the first time;
  subsequent use by pppd will hang the box

[box hung; eject card]

- Most of the time ejecting the card will recover, but
  the card won't work after that

- If you reboot it will work one time again

- Need more time to dig deeper
