UPDATE:

ok for those curious.
I now have the Merlin ex720 working on my n810 running diablo.

First you need a USB Female to microUSB and a Powered USB hub or you can just make the cable powered with a 9v battery and voltage regulator. This is what I did, rafanto has a nice write up on that here:

also an expresscard to usb adapter is needed. I'm using this one:

Code:

From here you need to open up the terminal on your nit and gain root mode:

Code:

sudo gainroot

now load the two modules attached:

Code:

insmod usbserial.ko
insmod option.ko

next you should enable host mode

Code:

echo host> /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode

now hook up your expresscard to the nit. and it should show up as /dev/ttyUSB0

from there the card is usable. if your using sprint you can follow these handy directions to get it working:

Code:

hope this helps someone!

its working fine for me in the terminal (i.e. apt-get and ping work fine) but i cant seem to get the browser or chat program to recognize that it is connected to the internet. anyone have any suggestions on this?
