Matthias,

your card looks like an old one. ubsa is absolutely ok for your card.
The driver for download at the URL above is really just for newer
(PCMCIA/cardbus) cards using a different interface (so not of any use
for your card).

These newer cards are named "Option 3G+" or "Option 3GMax" (HSDPA
capable). The older quad etc. cards are really fine with ubsa (just
the WLAN part of these cards is of no use as there's no support for
these chips and no driver will attach).

All Option cards are best identified by the two starting letter of
their serial number. You'll find a list of all models at pharscape.org
