How to connect internet using AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G (AC313U) on Ubuntu/Mint?

I just purchased AT&T USBConnect Momentum 4G (AC313U). There is LaptopConnect software for Windows and Mac but not for Linux. Has anyone tried installing it successfully on Linux (Ubuntu/Mint)?

Got little further with this using following link.

http://mycusthelp.net/SIERRAWIRELESS/_cs/AnswerDetail.aspx?sSessionID=6D3195B9E6F44D0498DA7021027C39ECMJOZHXWH&aid=44#[3]

Now it is detecting Sierra AC313U card in Network Settings and I am able to add new Mobile Network. Only problem is I am not sure about Username/Password, Network ID etc.

So whenever I am connecting I am getting "Activation of Network Connection failed".

Any pointers are welcome.

Thanks and Regards,

You shouldn't need to use a username and pw for the connection, but you can try username isp.cingular and ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM as the pw. I think the pw has to be in all caps. Hope this gets you connected. Also I have never messed with unbuntu but always hear great things about it got any tips for a newbie?

Removing all the config in Network setting worked. Just kept *99# and 'Broadband'.

@Ubuntu: Its awesome ! You will get addicted to it. There is no such thing called Virus on Ubuntu/Linux Smiley Happy Its fast, internet etc is awesome. To start with, just google Ubuntu and you will get all the help to install it on top of Windows.
