Introduction
These installation notes cover a number of models of modems, laptops and Mac OS X versions 10.4.1 and above.
Apple has built-in WWAN support for some Novatel Wireless modems on some versions of OS and processors. In cases where WWAN support is not available, users may use the Modem manager with Novatel Wireless Drivers.
It is important to know the processor in your Mac and the version of the Mac OS X .
- To find out this information, click on the Apple (top left corner) and select "About This Mac".
It is recommended that
- Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) users upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4.11.
