Hoping that I might be able to some advice on how to get this configuration working. I just recently purchased the Verizon 8800l MIFI. I'd like connect it to my router, which is running the GoldenOrb Rooter (latest version).
i've got IT background, so I know enough to be somewhat dangerous around computers. When I plug in the 8800l, the router seems to initially recognize the device. At first, it seemed to me that it wasn't recognizing or loading the appropriate drivers. So, in my research I added the following line to the /usr/lib/rooter/initialize.sh script:
Without any modificaitons of my own, and just plugging in the MIFI to the router, this is some of what get's logged in the system log

Also, checking the debug information in the modem section, I notice that there are no drivers associated to the Novatel. So, I added this line to the initialize.sh script:
echo "1410 b020" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
Adding that line seems to get me a little farther, in the system log, it shows:

It appears as if it makes it a little farther in recognizing the MIFI, creates a comm and data port, but I try configuring an interface and see if I can start pulling data from the device, and I have no luck.
