This was a problem early on -- there was a driver timing bug with the V30
which AT&T wouldn't fix because the V30 "was not a supported device."
There was an internal AT&T only version of the driver that worked with the
V30 which was never shipped.  I hear the AST V4.0 Lim driver works fine with
the V30 and the AT&T card.
