Using wireless data card(EVDO) in Linux

I got my BSNL EVDO card today itself. I used it for some time on my friend's laptop with Windows XP.  I had to install a driver. The attached disc with the EVDO(manufacturer-ZTE), had a file on Linux that stated that I had to modify the Kernel source code & all. However, all I did on my Fedora 11 was to edit network connections & add a "Mobile broadband"-->CDMA. I don't know why the vendor's default option didn't work(i got 3 options-vendor's, GSM & CDMA). I saved my username & password & I was instantly connected.

What is EVDO?
