It is a Lenovo one so that's why the FN+F5 keys work - Yes. All I really needed was for the Rev A EV-DO embedded card to work in my T60 (replacing the Rev 0 EV-DO one) so I would have the faster speeds when accessing the internet. Upload speed is been sped up and the downloads speeds push 1.5 MBs wh...

Zender,

I have a T60 and a Sierra Wireless MC5725 card available for testing. This card has been confirmed to result in the 1804 error during post.

I will be more than happy to model this BIOS under the conditions mentioned in your previous post.

Excellent News...

Zender, Excellent news and great work in conquering this restriction. I have a T60 with embedded Rev 0 Sierra Wireless 5720 card now and looking to plug in the 5725 allowing me to surf at Rev A speeds. While I waited for someone like you to provide a work around, I have been accessing the net with a...

VZ Wireless EVDO Rev A WWAN in T60?

I know there have been posts about problems with the MC5725 card in the T60; these posts may not be the most recent and up to date. Has anyone installed the MC5725 Rev A WWAN card in their T60 and have it work correctly? I have seen several articles from people who have taken a VZW USB720 apart and ...

I ordered the card and installed it in the empty PCI-E connector. Three screws are needed to connect the addtional hardware, two for the back of ...
