Issue with Sprint Sierra Wireless AirCard 595U

Frenchdude, I found a solution from another user on the Sprint site. Here is what to do:
1. Remove sprint connection manager using the uninstall program.
2. Delete all sprint software manually.
3. Reset your computer.
4. Plug the aircard in. You will see a popup about the connection not being setup. Click the network preferences button.
5. You'll need to put in the username and password for your aircard. Mine was populated automatically. I guess the card knows it 🙂
6. close network preferences.
7. You will see the new WWAN bars in the top menu bar. Ctrl-click them and select connect.
8. Voila! you are connected.

If you do not see the WWAN bars, go back to network preferences and ensure that the "show WWAN status in menu bar" option is checked.

Apparently the new WWAN functionality eliminates our need to even bother with the sprint software.

Happy mobile-surfing.

This also worked for me. Default settings, apply, connect. Some issues with auto connect not working on card insert but clicking connect is much nicer than the 3-4 popups about firmware, drivers, blah blah blah i need a windows computer to do this ignore....Works as it did in 10.5.X Now if I could only get my printer to work.

This is how I got mine to work, very simply.

I went into the Network preferences (with AirCard attached) clicked the + symbol and added a new port for the Sierra Card. Everything was automatically available in the drop down windows to add the card it creates a WWAN which you can add it's status to the top menu bar. I deleted the old Sprint Card port. I don't use the Sprint Manager. It works great for me under Snow Leopard.
