Debian + Verizon Wireless PC5750

I was able to get Debian and the Verizon Wireless PC5750 PC Card for mobile internet to work. :-)

To do so, I did the following:

  1. Boot into Vista, installed VZAccess manager (that is so lame)
  2. Activated PC Card
  3. Booted into debian - yay!
  4. Installed wvdialer
  5. vim /etc/wvdial.conf
[Dialer Defaults]
Stupid Mode = on
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 921600
Init = ATX0
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Phone = #777
Username = 1234567890@vzw3g.com
Password = vzw
Init1 = ATZ
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Auto Reconnect = on
Carrier Check = no[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP

This worked for me on an Extensa 5620Z. It may or may not work for you, I have no idea.
