Linksys Router Support for the Sierra Wireless Aircard 597E?

I have just aquired a Sierra 597E Aircard, with the PCMCIA adapter 'sled', and activated on the Sprint network. I was wondering if anyone here knows of when it will be supported by the Linksys WRT54G3G-ST.

I know that software-wise, since it's pretty much the same as the Sierra 595, that supporting it would probably be as simple as putting its ID string into the Linux source code and recompiling the code. Thus, I wonder whether Linksys will soon be coming out with updated software that will support the 597E.

If Linksys is not planning to support this card in the near future, I'm wondering whether there is a C compiler and assembler for this code that can be run under Windows so that I can download the source code, add the ID string for this modem to it, treat it just like a Sierra 595, and recompile the firmware.

Thanks for any knowledge that you can share!
