I have a Thinkpad T400 and installed Ericsson F3507g. F3507g was working fine till yesterday and it stopped working once I installed few other drivers.

I downloaded the drivers as suggested from lenovo (7uwc44ww, 7uw706ww) but still windows doesn’t install the correct drivers. Once the installation completes I can see driver files under C:\Program Files (x86)\Ericsson\WirelessModule but no drivers installed in Device Manager.

Is my windows registry has some invalid entry?

The card works fine on Ubuntu. Really appreciate your help.

Was anyone able to use the GPS functionality ?

I’ve installed the last driver available for this WWAN card and the Thinkvantage GPS, but everytime I’ve tried to start it I’ve got the following error:
“No SIM card found in the system. Please insert a SIM card to start using GPS.”

Unfortunately the SIM card is already and properly inserted because I’m able to connet to UMTS network.

I’ ve also tried to reinstall Thinkvantage GPS software and to enable/disable the GPS sensor from “Control panel\Location and other sensors”.

anyone could help me ?

thanks

Thanks for the help man, I had no clue why my laptop was being so slow. Who would’ve thought it was something so simple as updating the driver. So easy.

I followed your instructions and now have this updated driver and my Thinkpad is operating much better. Way better connection and no more frustration. Sweet deal. Thanks a bunch!

This has nothing to do with the native windows TCP stack, Cisco uses a DNE
Driver from Citrix to supercharge the stack.
Latest information on this driver is available from -
http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/lp/lp_1680845.asp and this now carries a
official statement from citrix indicating that they now support the WWAN
adapters refer to URL “DNE now supports WWAN devices in Win7 ”

I have tested this driver on my machine and it resolves the issue but take
note there are other applications that use their own custom DNE driver and
could break the Cisco VPN client, i could not find any that we use but we
still have to keep an eye on this.

Driver can be downloaded from
http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/lp/lp_1680845.asp

The general consensus out there is that this is not the magic bullet.
Remember you should correctly diagnose the issue, what we experience
specifically on this matter is that the 3G connection establishes without
any issue, the cisco vpn client makes a connection without any issue but
you cannot connect to any system of even ping a router or server.

I have tested this driver on my laptop with Windows 7 62Bit SP1 and it
resolved the issue.

There is a trick/work-around on installing drivers for the F3507g depending on what kind of branding it is on; I am currently working on it.

I have a Win7 32bit tablet with SIM socket and a free mini-PCIe. I wanted 3G & GPS so I bought a F3507g Dell 5530 branded. Authentication failed upon installation of any package because it is not IBM/Dell/Acer etc.

Upon installing the package, there is a temp file written in the local directories for an .msi file called “Mobile Broadband Drivers”. Taking this out and extracting it with Universal Extractor for .msi installation files, you get a series of folders with drivers – depending on your platform x86 or x64.

I will soon test the validity of my arguments; with the IBM package I got the card recognized but not the external SIM. Now I’m doing the same work-around for the Dell 5530 drivers.

Comments welcome!

Best

Please help me install F3507g (Dell 5530) on my Inspiron 1525. I know it may be a compatibility issue but a fix or workaround might be there. Won’t mind if the GPS is disabled. Tried almost all the Dell / Lenovo drivers to no avail. Thanks, will appreciate your help.
