EM7305 Windows 10

Thank you!

That was exactly what I ended up doing. The steps I took are below.

  1. Uniinstalled all Sierra Wireless drivers.
  2. Installed GenericDriverSetup_Build4581.exe
  3. Made sure modem was disconnected.
  4. In the DriverPackages dir I ran “DriverInst.exe USBCOMP=8” from an Administrator command prompt.
  5. #4 seemed to be critical to prevent the Sierra Wireless drivers from setting the USBCOMP back to 9 (MBIM only). The swi_setusbcomp.pl script floating around the web has been very valuable to check and set the desired USBCOMP mode on an Ubuntu machine.
  6. The default EM7305 Windows Generic Broadband driver is installed.
  7. Update the driver of the network adapter.
  8. Choose Driver => Have Disk => c:\Program Files(x86)\Sierra Wireless\driver package\driver\swg3kmdm00.inf
  9. “Sierra Wireless Incorporated” => “Sierra Wireless Mobile Broadband Network Adapter”

These are the exact steps that worked for us to get all ports accessible.
