Some time back, someone asked about and EVDO modem with Linux support.

 Linux Support - Built-in

The CDU-680 is the first EVDO device to come with linux compatible
software. While its not a full connection manager, it does allow you
to connect to Sprint's EVDO network with only two simple commands.

All you have to do is copy the "Linux_Ubuntu" folder from the CDU-680
flash drive to your desktop. Then open a terminal window and run the
following commands:

Run "cd Desktop/Linux_Ubuntu"
Run "sudo ./connect"
Then you will be prompted to enter your root (administrator) password
The device will then switch to modem mode and connect to Sprint's network.

Franklin says this script is specifically for Ubuntu, however; I
expect that it should work with the most popular distros of linux.
Check back soon, as we will be testing the CDU-680 on some of the more
popular flavors of linux.

This review is on a site that is a sister site to http://3gstore.com
(formerly Booster-Antenna.com), which sells them. These guys actually
understand EVDO, unlike many of the Sprint and Verizon company store
employees.
