The modules you are lacking are probably usbserial/airprime to get the ttyUSB0-5 devices that you are seeing on Suse. I've been playing with various Novatel devices making a script to automatically set up any Linux distro I plug my card into, the N800 is proving a little tricky though. There are less kernel modules available and I don't have a scratchbox setup yet to compile the necessary module. I'm hoping I'll stumble across a compiled usbserial module for Diablo soon so I can test with the U727 I've borrowed from work, next step will be finding a CDU680 in working order for cheap.
