My guess is they forgot about about us here in the deserts! Mine is doing the same thing here in Catalina, Az. I have been putting in Vista for two days so far and even after midnight it wants to dump me in the middle of downloads!
I can't get the air-card to load the program with Vista and this thing works great when I am not being dumped. I'm using a KPC-650 with a KR1 router, Have two computers Now running Vista but before I changed to Vista in this computer it was doing it but I had an out as I could stick the card in the slot and fire up alltel. Now, it won't load so I need some drivers but getting help from Smith-Micro isn't easy and I have the old prl code in the card,[40007].
I am going to them again and see if they can get the new prl in and the drivers for the vista!

I've seen other post mention this and I have experienced it myself. If you are downloading something that might be your problem... Try setting a speedlimit for whatever program you use to download. If i try to download a torrent file it disconnects within 5 minutes or if I use flashget and let it do it w/o a speed limit it does the same. Just an idea.

Hi, OK, I had to go down to the alltel store and found out that the software for the KPC-650 will NOT work on Vista! You can geet a patch fix on Kyocera's site or from Alltel. I don't know about the KPC-680 or its software. The tech really didn't want to sale me the KPC-680 so there may be a problem in this area that they don't want to talk about! I'm lucky to have the Dell with both card slots! But I have a feeling there is a problem with the kpc680. There weeding out the 650 so they may not make a disc for the 650 anymore. The 680 is the new type A card and they acted like they didn't want to sale me one so ... I may not get the renew contract! If not I will be getting Sprint and will get it from 3g! i don't have any answers at all on why the disconnects?! Mine is still doing it from time to time..No Answers! Sorry!! Rolling Eyes

I also wanted to add too, that according to the Tier 3 Data Tech I spoke with, he said in areas they used to test Rev A in Alltel experienced many drops and that is why Alltel stopped testing Rev A until further developement.
