Problems Uninstalling Sierra Wireless Software (LAUNCHD errors)

Question

Hello.
I'm trying to find the root cause of the following from Launchd in my console logs:
9/1/10 10:29:30 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.sierrawireless.SierraSWoCMon[1099]) posix_spawn("/System/Library/Extensions/SierraDevSupport.kext/Contents/Resource s/SierraSWoCMon", ...): No such file or directory
9/1/10 10:29:30 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.sierrawireless.SierraSWoCMon[1099]) Exited with exit code: 1
9/1/10 10:29:30 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.sierrawireless.SierraSWoCMon) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
These messages are repeated over and over in the console logs on my Macbook Pro 13" mid-2009 model.
Thanks.

How did you "uninstall" that software? If you just trashed what you thought were the components of the software, it would have been better to use an uninstall utility or option if that was available.
Look in the /Library (at the top-level of the boot volume, not the one in your home folder) for these folders:
- LaunchAgents
- LaunchDaemons
- StartupItems
One of those may have a file related to that software that's still attempting to launch it. Once you've found the culprit, delete it.
