The easiest WWAN setup -- I found.
The WWAN card I want to choose -- supports both CDMA and GSM, supports HSPA+ 21Mb (not HSPA 7.2MB), under $30. Vender supports Mavericks
Then I found this one -- HuaWei EM820U (http://www.amazon.co...d/dp/B00AA6O44C)
Vender software -- http://consumer.huaw...8098&pro=EM820U
HUAWEI_DataCard_ClientSoftware_MAC-V200R003B015D02SP01C983(for Mac OS 10.9)
Installation and setup is easy, Release the screws from the back, remove the keyboard and palm rest bezel. Insert EM820U, connect red line to M (Main) connector, blue line to A (Auxiliary). put everything back. download and run package of
HUAWEI_DataCard_ClientSoftware_MAC-V200R003B015D02SP01C983(for Mac OS 10.9). it will install MAC OSX driver for EM820U and an application called Mobile Partner.
After reboot, there is new PPP device based on HuaWeiMobile-Modem is added into System Preferences ->Network. I can connect to T-Mobile 3G network directly from there, or using Mobile Partner, both work for me.
Under USB, I found HuaWei EM820U, but under WWAN, there is nothing.
So far, everything is straightforward, no tweak.
If your T61(p) is WWAN upgradable (WWAN antenna is installed). then you can use 3G on Mavericks
