The Lenovo T430s I have for work comes with a Verizon Wireless 4G card built-in. It took weeks to get it working on Windows 7. Turned out that I had a bad SIM card. Once I was able to get it to work in Windows, it was time to get it working in Ubuntu. The USB ID for the MC7750 is 114F:68A2. It is also listed in Windows as "Gobi 4000 HS-USB Modem". Ubuntu didn't recognize the 4G modem out of the box. I found a driver [1]here. [2]Here is more information. This modem wasn't in there, but I went ahead and modified the source to add in the USB ID. Here are my diffs: [3]sierra.patch and [4]sierra_net.patch Save these to the folder where you downloaded the driver. Then tar xvf v3.2_1740_kernel-3.0.directIP.tar cd v3.2_1740_kernel-3.0.directIP patch -p0 < ../sierra.patch patch -p0 < ../sierra_net.patch make sudo make install and then reboot. Success! Or sort of. It showed up as registered on Verizon. I could see the signal strength. Finding the right settings for NetworkManager is the next step. There are three options for the number: #777 *99# *99***3# *99***4# The username should be the phonenumber@vzw4g.com and the password is vzw. I'm still working on this. It isn't dialing, but I'm having a hard time finding the right combination. __________________________________________________________________ My original entry is here: [5]Verizon Wireless/Sierra Wireless MC7750 on Lenovo T430s with Ubuntu 12.0.4.1.
