Just out of curiosity, would switching to a wireless router that is compatible with the air card, such as the Cradlepoint MBR900 be a viable option? I have never tried using a USB modem under linux, but I have used my phone as a modem before. Every time I have done this it has been as simple as setting up the modem dialer (KPPP) to dial #777 using the USB modem (phone) as a modem. I haven't tried with my most recent phone though.
