Do not upgrade the firmware on your PCMCIA card if you are using NextG Wireless HSDPA broadband on a Mac. The Telstra BigPond connection manager does not support the card with the upgraded firmware. This is contrary to the information on the Firmware upgrade page I know… but trust me – don’t upgrade.
Since my upgrade I now have a (very light) paper weight as Telstra BigPond does not support downgrading the firmware on the Option GlobeTrotter (GT) Max cards back to a supported firmware.
Excellent… and very helpful – another example of BigPond’s excellent support for the NextG network on Mac.
