AFAIK, Hakan, we do not have a driver (or a supplicant) for any 3G card. Essentially, you need an account, a card, a driver, and a supplicant. I have seen these cards under XP, and remain unimpressed. I'd might as well use the IrDA in my P910i to route the connection from my ThinkPad to the cellular network, and I would need to be pretty desperate to do that (I already have Opera running on the Symbian-powered P910i, anyway). I haven't seen actual throughput specs, though, I must admit. I'm simply speaking anecdotally.

That I know of, there was only one cellular connection (USB) that connected to the verizon network (IIRC) that Mark Abrahamson and Steve Levine got working but I don't think that card is sold anymore (at least this time last year it didn't seem to be in use) and I don't recall anything about 3G being involved.
