well reboots are holding. seems if I go into the Bios thats when it looses the setting. Need to find a utility to read the Bios and save it and Hopefully upload it back.. unless someone knows of a utility to force the WWAN .. i found a c++ program that looks like it will do it but was unable to comp...

Well that just sucks.. I got it to come back.. but what had to be done was put another card in, get WWan to come up in bios, then shut it off and reinstall, reboot and its back. im afraid to shut it off again! looks like there needs to be a bios hack to force WWAN to be enabled no matter what.

what the heck.. So it was working GREAT! I rebooted.. pulled battery, and made sure the PC was dead dead and started over so I knew exactly any settings that would need to be done from cold boot.. WWAN is Missing from bios now! and so is my modem!

What the heck!?

WWAN was disabled.. oops.. enabled it.. found the card. so i put...

i received the modem today. Nothing at all happens? even if its locked to an HP, Should it not still show up in the device manager? had me concerned..

Do the dip switchs have an effect it showing up in device manager?

Any ideas?

Thanks
