VZ Wireless EVDO Rev A WWAN in T60?

#1 Post by maimbourg » Sat Jul 07, 2007 5:54 pm

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 used the wireless card in their Dell D820 laptops with success.

The MC5725 Rev. A WWAN card will not work in a T60/p with any of the T60/p BIOS versions available today.

Glad someone answered that for sure. I just went out and bought the Novatel V740 ExpressCard to use, and deactivated my internal WWAN on the T60p. As much as i like the internal aspect, i can now move the WWAN service b/w my 3 laptops.

The forward BIOS incompatibility really sucks for Lenovo customers ...
