pl2303.ko is driver for Prolific pl2303 usb to serial converter and serial mean as serial can be like com1 on PC.
this chip is for ex. inside nokia ca42 cable.
your setup non't work because you don't have driver for usb to expresscard adapter and even for merlin card

quick update:

so its seems that if i load
usbserial.ko and option.ko

the ex720 shows up as /dev/ttyUSB0 and i was actually able to connect to sprint and get an IP address but I have not been able to surf the internet yet, it keeps wanting to connect to a wifi account.

appears as a link between merlin card and nit is through an usb hub inside adapter, and merlin card acts as a regular modem so this explained no need of drivers. my bad. expersscard have inside usb link.

how many usb hubs nit reported?
offtopic: I must try usb 3g modem offered by my cable company, for free with umlimited internet traffic, if iy work on my n810

You need to install dummy network, and connect to that network, so that icd (and therefore all maemo applications) know that you are connected. You can find explanations of doing this in discussions of BT PAN or USB netwroking.

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1410:1120
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
the 1410:1120 is the ex720 3g card

@Matan
thanks yeah i've been messing around with dummy mode this morning. it proved a little difficult with diablo but I just got it working!
so I can now use my 3g card for webbrowsing, voip and what ever else!!
dummy mode was the key

thanks for the feedback!
