with whitelist on thinkpad x230, i installed MC7304 to complete the WWAN functionality.
it does show in device manager, but 3 times as 3 devices, only 2 can login to carrier service but it is not easy to see which ones are except trying to disable others to see the results.
the most boring is that the device will not show in device manager and login to carrier service systematically after OS login,
sometimes it take quite a moment to show later, sometimes it shows as login to OS, but it is always disactivated, not being activated by clicking the icon. to make it, it should firstly to to airplane mode (either way to disable radios), then disable airplane mode, likewise disabling radios and reenable radios so that it can login to carrier service.
there was earlier copy of OS that can login systematically to carrier service after upgrading driver 4836 and patch GPS firmware. but it doesn’t work any more after reinstallation of OS.
microsoft will say a lot of reason of crash: hardware failure, power loss, file crash etc…anyway it is indeed that window OS is easy to crash, mostly it requires to restart for some reason.
