As far as I understand there is still no 4g support for this device. I am currently ruining Edubuntu 11.04 and have ran the most recent updates at the date of this posting (July 25th, 2011 2:14am est time). Once again this is reply to the fact that the 4g wimax drivers for the Sierra 250U. I am not for sure on how others read this report originally, but I feel the original author is stating the same thing:

"Add VID/PID for Sierra Wireless 250U USB dongle to drivers/usb/sierra/sierra.c
*Allows use of 3G radio only*"

so... the 4g is not working, I am not seeing how this is resolved through these post.

But as suggested:

"The patch just makes the driver accept the additional device. I cannot really say whether 4G is supported in general or not. So the device appearing is enough for verification here. If 4G would be an issue this should be a different bug. Thanks for testing."

I will open a new bug or problem report.
