Sprint's website has a howto on this (sorta). It goes through how to |
47 |
get an aircard to work, but if you can get bluetooth setup between your |
48 |
755 and laptop then you're all set. I can't remember where it is off |
49 |
the top of my head, but look through some of the docs under linux for |
50 |
the AirCards |
