Binary package hint: linux-image-
I'm pretty sure the older U727 is correctly recognized by airprime:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x1410, 0x4100) }, /* Novatel Wireless U727 */
I've found a later revision of the U727 with a different product string, and the U760 has yet another different string. Support is enabled by adding the following lines to airprime.c and recompiling the module.
{ USB_DEVICE(0x1410, 0x5100) }, /* Novatel Wireless U727 newer */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x1410, 0x6000) }, /* Novatel Wireless U760 */
Patched airprime.c attached
Thanks,
Jeremy
