Seriously, I have been looking everywhere for one that will work with either Linux or BSD! But to my avail, no luck!

If anyone knows of one, please let me know!

I've been using a Pantech PX-500 on Sprints network with Slackware Linux for two and a half years.

Psychic Stalker (a regular in C&T and TT) is also using Sprint mobile broadband service with Linux.

Apparently most other networks are compatible with Linux, but Sprint is the only one that advertises it's support (albeit quietly).

I have a slight distaste for Sprint, distaste putting it nicely.
I think I will try a few places though.

Short of the one Sprint has that is the only one that I know of right now, if OpenMoko can keep from going bottom up before they finally are ready to release the Neo GTA03 (currently frozen due to lack of funds for development and no set design) then it is rumored to be able to do 3G off of GSM networks, then it would be a case of making a PCI/Usb/PCIMA card based off of that whee
