[j-nsp] SRX 3G Support (was Re: hardware DS1s)

[Ryan Finnesey]

This is helpful.  Do you know if there is a CDMA option for the states?  Can
this be used for out of band management of the device?

Cheers
Ryan

Slightly OT, but the SRX210 now supports the Sierra Wireless 312U (aka
Ultimate) USB Modem  plugged right into the USB port on the front.  

You need to upgrade to 10.4R6 and then flash the RX BIOS to 2.1, but after
that the modem is detected as the same cl-0/0/8 interface you see when using
the ExpressCard, so all the configuration is virtually identical.

Got a couple running here and they are pretty quick!

The only downside is that USB plug-and-play doesn't seem to be supported -
if the stick isn't connected when the box boots, or you remove it after boot
time, the only way to bring it back up is a reload.
