Sadly the only firmware combinations I can seem to get to work only talk about a "4G LTE Connection", which [of course] doesn't work. It does seem that the device retains its firmware unless *POWER IS LOST* - as in disconnect the power cord AND the battery. So that might explain why it worked before. It must have still had the firmware from the initial Windows installation; and we've now no way of identifying which/what firmware that was. The HP Qualcomm driver package doesn't seem to contain a UQCN.mbn file - only lots of amss.mbn & apps.mbn files. So I was stuck with the Lenovo firmware images, the incomplete HP firmware images, or a mix-n-match of both. I have to give up at this point. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
