USB551l -- Verizon 4G/ Novatel Wireless Ovation

http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg3482532.html

only solution i've had to get the usb551l to work on any variety of linux

/sbin/modprobe option; /sbin/echo "1410 b001" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id

minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0

issue the command "At$nwqmiconnect=,,"

then the network interface works just like any wired interfact and you can issue

dhclient eth19

my problem is, how do i do this within wifipineapple?

still unable to udhcpc and get a reply, looking for

issuing a

echo "At\$nwqmiconnect=,," >> /dev/ttyUSB0

then cat or tail -f will show an OK response from the modem

You can issue commands in the Advanced tab but for more complex issues you should SSH into the pineapple...
