Wow, 10.4.7 sees my Verizon Novatel card

Posted on 12 July 2006

I’ve been successfully using a Verizon wireless broadband card (the Novatel v620 pc card) since April in my Powerbook thanks to a software hack from the good folk at the EVDO Info web site. It basically made the Novatel card look like any other modem, showing up on a pull down list on my menu bar and connnecting with Internet Connect. But last night I installed the 10.4.7 upgrade for OS X and lo and behold, when I inserted my Novatel card it was officially recognized by the Mac. Now I don’t need the hack and I get the full treatment of a special menu bar just for the card showing signal strength. Wow. Well, it’s a minor treat anyway.
