Sorry, I set up a network connection but I'm not sure of all the information in the fields, APN I found something that says verizon uses vzw3g and tried it but it didn't work...
Running latest iso download from mints homepage.
Internet is normally run from a windows app (vzaccess manager) but I'm pretty sure it isn't supported in linux
Not exactly sure what info needs given, I'm pretty computer illiterate outside normal windows use.

Re: New to linux, setting up vzw broadband
More info as in my usb card? I looked its a pantech 190 usb modem, I tried the link to ubuntu, but the terminal command requires a connection to the net. I eventually found this pantech 190 specific thread on ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9123732 and downloaded gnome ppp from here http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=41 but can't figure out how to install it manually. Been looking all day with no luck.
