PCI IDs of recognized WWAN cards for W530

I'm running into the dreaded 1802 "unauthorized card" error. Since Lenovo no longer sells the WWAN card for my W530, does anyone know the PCI ID of the authorized Gobi 3000 Sierra Wireless MC8355 card (Lenovo part no. 60Y3257)?
I don't want to buy random cards until I get one that works....

There are any number of sources for Lenovo 60Y3257 cards. Just Google
Lenovo 60Y3257 (or insert your favorite search engine here). You are looking for a card with the
FRU P/N: 60Y3257 stamped on it.
Sorry, I don' t know the PCI/VEN number, but I don't think you need that. You do need a Lenovo branded card with the proper FRU number stamped on it to avoid the 1802 problem.
Here is just one example from ebay (I am not promoting this seller - I don't know him or her).
