I'm using the WRT54G3G

DataCard is the NZ, Nozomi drivers

Not sure the firmware of the card. ( how do I find this out under Linux ?)

I'm using openwrt with Nozomi drivers on the router, not the Linksys firmware

The blue led flashes

 

[vodacom3g]

Do you have a Windows laptop to test with?

I'd suggest you go through a process of elimination to find the bottleneck.

Best to start with a known and supported setup and work from there.

When are Linksys releasing the firmware for the wrt54g3g ??

 

[vodacom3g]

What are the LED's showing?

 

[OutOfTheBox]

What is the latest firmware for this Option card ?

 

[OutOfTheBox]

The LED's on the Option Card, is the left, blue LED flashing.

The LED's on the router are irrelevant, as the openwrt source code still need to be updated to switch the LED, on.

 

[OutOfTheBox]

Will use a notebook tomorrow, to test the connection, and report back

 

[vodacom3g]

You should get both LED's flashing twice blue, indicating 3G or both LED's triple flashing blue for HSDPA.

 

[OutOfTheBox]

hard to tell, if I was to have seen it flashing 3 times I would know, when its only flashing 2

 

[OutOfTheBox]

I just got a upload speed of 143kb, would this be possible it I was only in 3G mode ?
