Setting up Novatel Mifi 2200 on 8.2-REL

[Ryan Coleman]

I've searched high and low and have no idea where to start to get this thing going... It's recognizing it now but I am not finding any details online (like people who have shared their full configuration details) on how they got the VirginMobile version going. In fact, I've found so few pieces I am not sure how I might piece it all together. I've tried to hack a VZW one through but no luck.

Thanks again. I'm working, also, on getting VPN to work should this not be settled by the time the machine needs to be installed.
