Hey there,
I just got an mPCIE EC25 modem to install into my Thinkpad W530 (yes, yes, whitelist. I flashed 1vyrain), but neither Linux nor the BIOS, not even its own hardware diagnostics tool see the modem. At this point I’m wondering: is the modem dead?
Any idea how I could confirm if the modem is actually working? I don’t think I have any other device with an mpcie slot.
The quick search result tells me that the WWAN module (i.e. the modem) should work in slot #2.
Can you boot Linux and check with cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices ?
if that shows basically the same as lsusb then this is a no.
I checked with the ivyrain developer and they weren’t sure why it wouldn’t work either.
I have also found a user that wanted to install the same modem into their thinkpad, and they were discussing an issue I haven’t thought of yet: Does the modem work purely off usb or is the usb interface solely for the serial interface?
If it’s just for the serial interface then this is a lost cause…
