10.6 option key trick works on WWAN menu extra as well

Under Mac OS X 10.6, holding down the option key on the keyboard when clicking on menu extras (the icons on the right side of the menu bar) often tells more information. The Airpot menu, for example, expands to tell wifi channel, signal strength, speed, etc.

This also applies to the WWAN menu:

Not a whole lot of information, but better than nothing. Also, the driver is built in for my Sprint card, which wasn’t the case in 10.5
