Novatel X720 with KR1/KR2

Can someone tell me if the Novatel X720 (Express Card/34) can be used with the KR1 or KR2 using an adapter?

If not, does anyone know of a router that will support it?

Thanks!!

The Novatel EX720 ExpressCard is supported in KR2. KR2 has an ExpressCard slot so no adapter is required. KR1 is end-of-life and does not support this device.

The CradlePoint MBR1000 & CTR500 also have ExpressCard slots and support the EX720, here is a link to more info:

Well, KR1 launched January 30, 2006. KR2 launched March 17, 2008. So it was about two years. Life's fast in the world of consumer electronics.

I have been using the KR1/EX720 with Sprint for the past year with an adapter bought from 3gstore and using firmware RK1008.
Speed is limited to about 60kbytes/second.
I think firmware RK1010 and RK1011 broke the EX720 support (from comments in the forum).
