Aircard 815s not able to connect to Mac in USB tether mode

My Aircard 815s not able to connect to Mac laptop or iMac in tether mode.  Is this hotspot compatible with Mac?  I don't have a PC to test to make sure USB tether mode is working. I don;t see there is any drivers to install.

AirCard 815 USB tethering should normally work however there is an issue with how the Apple Mac OS enumerates the device interfaces which causes the tethering not to work. We will have a fix available in next release of Mac Os but currently only work around for tethering on MAC OS is to use the following 3rd party RNDIS driver called HoRNDIS available at http://www.joshuawise.com/horndis. Also keep in mind if you have enterprise version of AC815 tethering is not supported as per AT&T request.
