Broken - Novatel MC950D Ovation USB Modem

This modem works fine under 10.5 - not even recognized by the computer under 10.6. Any advice on how to fix or do we have to wait for Novatel to rework the driver?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6)

Oh, I just installed it on a clean Snow Leopard and it's working fine - the driver listed is 3.18.02.0-00 (click About WWAN with Show WWAN status in menu bar selected on the network in System Preferences).
