Novatel Wireless (1xEV-DO) connection to connect to the

Novatel Wireless Network Adapter (NDIS)
Enabling the Novatel Wireless Network Adapter enables always-on
connectivity like an Ethernet card and eliminates the need to use the
Sprint Connection Manager software. As soon as the USB connector is
inserted into your USB port, the device connects to the network
automatically. The connection is also reestablished automatically
coming out of hibernate and standby modes.
To enable the Novatel Wireless Network Adapter:
1. Disconnect the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem from
the Sprint network. (If you are connected to the network, the
Enable Network Adapter [NDIS] check box will be disabled.)
