As of early February 2009, O2 customers in Ireland have been able to buy the Sierra Compass 888 USB modem. Since then, Dovado have been working hard on the UMR firmware modifications required to support this and other Sierra modems. The next firmware update will support the Sierra Compass 888 and is expected to be available from the Dovado website in early April 2009.
Latest update
On Fri 3 April 2009, a Dovado spokesperson explained the latest:
We intended to release the firmware a week ago, but having tried it on a couple of Irish folks, we were able to spot some bugs and nail them down. We just need to conclude the testing over the weekend and see if there are any pending issues. If everyone’s happy, we’ll release the official firmware next week.
Supported USB modems
An authorative list of modems supported by the Dovado UMR with additional information is available on the Dovado website at http://www.dovado.com/modems/.
