You must be using either the Sprint driver or the underground kext that was briefly available from a poster at EVDOforums.com on your iBook. From my experience, the underground driver works well on my old 12" PowerBook G4. However, neither one of those two gives you the menu bar item that shows signal strength, connection status, or the network coverage (1xRTT vs. EVDO). The WWAN update is only for Intel portables, as evidenced by the system requirements at

I wanted to reply to this but my device disappeared. Anyhow, I'm using a USB720, not a U720; the device I have is for connecting to Verizon. I normally loathe Verizon, but in this case the device works splendidly well.
