Zte 821 (telstra Australia) Working On Mkiv

[rusty]

Thought I'd better throw this info up given I got most of the info I needed to get this running from these forums.

Please bear in mind I'm new to open-wrt and linux and this most likely was the hard way around to getting this running!

The following is the 3g script I used, all working for the past few hours, I hope this helps someone out :)
