AT&T 3G Option wireless USB and globetrotter connect

Ok, I got the Globetrotter software again, which *****, but at least working. For the short time I enjoyed the generic option modem-driver, that worked slick.

Hi OK Kidd,

I confirm that driver and software from http://www.support.option.com/att is working. I have GT 7.2 card and now it's working like a charm.
Thanks for saving me from hours of browsing 🙂

Did you get your answer. I have a same problem

For those using MAC OS 10.6 an are having issues with your AT&T Quicksilver USB Air Card.

Go to support.option.com/att.

On the left side click on: New! GT Connect for Mac 10.4.11, 10.5.x and 10.6.x and Manual and Download the file.

Disconnect from the internet. Turn Airport of and disconnect any ethernet cables.

Remove Quicksilver USB & Uninstall old version of drivers and Globetrotter Connect by going to Finder>Applications>GlobeTrotter Connect>GlobeTrotter Connect Uninstall.

Install the new GlobeTrotter Connect.mpkg file.

Once the installation is complete, start the program: Finder>Applications>GlobeTrotter Connect>GlobeTrotter Connect.

Insert the Quicksilver USB. Once the connect button appears, click it and you will be connected.

There are no user ID's or passwords required.

I just resolved my issues today with the help of AT&T and everything is functional.

ok all its perfect but i still have not fully work usb cart option icon 255 on my SL 10.6.1

I made it work just configuring the GTM HSDPA Modem, using Vendor= Option N.V.; Model=GSM APN=myconnection (varies with your carrier); CID=1.

Reaches 5 Mbps which is my contract limit.

Nothing else. No more mac os x snow leopard crashes.

Hope that helps

hi, can i ask u one thing divinus ? are u from sweden? if u are from sweden are u using telenors 3g modem?

After hours and hours I finally got it to work. I thought I would chime in with what worked for me. I read through endless posts and tried many other peoples suggestions but many failed. This may or may not work for you.

I have a GT Ultra Express Card, Unlocked from NewEgg, AT&T Sim with FamilyPlan Data, OSX10.6.2.

I tried using the GlobeTrotter Software from http://support.option.com/att/ This DID NOT WORK FOR ME.

I used the GT software from http://www.option.com/en/support/software-download/, I used my serial as my IMEI didnt work. I installed with the card out, after install I inserted the card and started the GT software. It worked.

I dont know why, personally. I swear I did these steps before. The only thing different was the software package from the option download section.

Excuse my poor organization of thought, its been about 4 hours of trying. BUT, I have the airport off and am typing this message on 3G!
