As far as I know the air cards don't have software for Linux, which is what
the Icon and BP use. They can only be used with Windows or Mac OSX. So,
this is not something that the developers could fix in an update, this is
something the air card manufacturer would have to work on.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, though.

will the wireless air card work on the braille plus? its something like a
thum drive that you put into the U.S.b. port and uses internet from the cell
towers of whatever cellphone compeny you get it from if they dont work one
of the updates should sport them and the hot spots or if we ever get the
G.P.s. and cellphone features they should make it so that we can get
internet that way eather from cellphone tawwouers or from where ever the
G.P.s. servus comes from On Thu, 28 Jan 2010
