Comment 35 for bug 368457

I have the Sierra Wireless Aircard 875. I was able to update the firmware of the card through VirtualBox. However that did not help me. I agree that as this worked flawlessly in 8.10, the reason why it doesn't work in 9.04 should be looked into.

This is what I see in /var/log/syslog when I plug it in:
