Lenovo X60 and Ericcson F5521gw
Dennis GuseMy old Lenovo X60 (wwan ready: antenna an sim slot available) uses the current state of the art UMTS (mini pci express) card from Ericcson. The card orignally belongs to an Lenovo W520 - FRU is 60Y3279.
!I am using the original BIOS (no zender!)
Basically:
- Download drivers for the card from Lenovo
- Extract drivers (the .exe complains that my X60 is not supported) using InstallShield tools
- Cover pin 20 on the card with scotch tape. (Drawback: card cannot be turned off)
- Plugin the card (I am using only the main antenna)
Hint:
- Even with pin 20 enabled (no scotch) my notebook booted without error 180X and windows showed it in the device manager - but cannot be turned on!
- Fn+F5 (Access Connection) does not show the card, but the connection can be configured.
- Access Connection can turn the card off (probably via AT commands)
PIN 20: Not my image; credits go to the unknown creator (Update: Link is down.; Link removed).
Any question: Leave a comment with your mail-addr.
PS: In comparison to WiFi tethering with my Palm Pre: the card is awesome fast! (using O2 max. 3.6 Mbit/s)
