with a little messing around.

I am not sure if all these steps are needed but this is what I did to get it going.

Most likely just installing the Sierra watcher and driver would do the trick.

 

--Lenovo x61 7676-5cm

Fresh install of Win7

Install MC8775 drivers from lenovo

Installed "Access Connections" 5.50

Could see the Telecom network and tried to connect, does not get an ip.

Downloaded and installed The Generic Watcher for the AirCard 875

Could see the Telecom network and tried to connect, does not get an ip.

Re installed the MC8775 drivers from lenovo

SUCCESS
