Absolutely spot on - I think! There seem to be so many variations on the theme... But I can say, because having hit the Vista/Voip321 problem and trying all the other solutions, that the USB-PCI slot method worked for us (USB card/Via chipset). Athlon 64 & 32 bit Vista. All drivers programs the latest versions direct from the Phillips/Skype sites - not CD copies. Takes away the pain instantly and our Voip321 duo phone work superbly. Windows Vista Voip321/Skype.

I had none of the <em>Novatel*</em> drivers installed, as I had never used the ISP or mnaufacturer drivers. They are listed as 10.4+ compatabile and I had nothing but trouble with them under 10.5.

The strange thing is that the original account I got it working on was using AppleWWANSupport.kext NOT AppleWWANSupport1.kext.

I’m really not in the mood for reinstalling the whole O/S, so the way I got this working again was to:

  1. ensure I had the AppleWWANSupport1.kext and AppleWWANSupport.kext folders back in place in /System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ (thanks Timemachine backup!)
  2. remove the “Novatel Wireless HSDPA Modem” from the Network services list
  3. and as others have said in the thread – Reboot with the card plugged in.
  4. I then logged in with my second account (that never worked with the XU870) and added the new network service, choosing the “Novatel Wireless HSDPA Modem“
  5. Under advanced settings I then removed the default telstra.datapack that was added putting the 3netaccess APN in for the ISP I use
