Since Panasonic never officially made a unit with the MC7455 so I have no clue. The codes for the MC7355 and EM7355 were also different.

And before you ask for the EM7455 code know that I cannot legally give it to you. Sorry.

No need for codes. I think I might have figured out why the device disappears. It has to do with the kernel auto-suspending USB devices.

Right now I added usbcore.autosuspend=-1 to GRUB_CMDLIND_LINUX_DEFAULT section in /etc/default/grub and it's holding.

I also went to the Sierra Wireless website, downloaded and compiled their Linux drivers for good measure. So I think I got it working but I need to do some additional testing, but so far so good.

Upgraded the firmware on the MC7455. Works flawlessly on the CF-31 with Windows 10. Craps out on Linux. I had just got it working too. :cussing:
