I have a Novatel - Merlin U630 providied by vodafone espana. Anyone know where I can find the current driver?
My card has been returned for repair and they've replaced it with a new card, which is great. Unfortunately my original software doesn't support the new card.
The driver isn't available from the Novatel site and 'm having a real problem language wise trying to sort this with vodafone espana (Getting past the front desk can be difficult even when tou're fluent!).

Anyone know where I can find the current driver?

Novatel Wireless doesn't have drivers. They do have this notice posted:

Please contact your service provider for the connection manager and device drivers for your card. The software is preconfigured and tested to work on their network.

Yes, I know. Novatel say I must contact Vodafone Espana. Vodafone support say it's not their product and that I should contact the manufacturer or return to where I bought it (this was - of course a Vodafone Espana shop 2000 miles away). Unfortunately, my Spanish isn't good enough to get passed the front office to talk with the techies who could e-mail me the driver.

This is why I posted the thread. Anyone who bought one of these cards in the last 6 months will probably has the new driver, which I can have a go at installing - a non-network specific/unlocked version would of course be the perfect solution.

i use for u630 driver that comes with o2 connection manager, there is also a firmware update utility if needed(it was for me), connection manager is optional in English and it works no matter what country or service you have(tested:o2,vodafone,tcom) o2online.de/goto/connectionmanager

ohh and my is vodafone(germany) card (got it on ebay for 55euros), with the o2 driver and software it works 100% lock or restriction free, i used it in many countries with several contract and prepaid sims
