It integrates with Windows differently to a dialup modem. I am not sure if this device type was available in Vista, but I have certainly never seen it before.

#Lenovo driver update utility windows 7 drivers

The upshot of this is that, after installing these drivers you don’t need any third party software to get online! The new driver actually gets the broadband card to show up as… (drum roll). This is what made it particularly tricky to setup. The previous driver installs your broadband card as an old school modem (with COM ports et al).

This driver is radically different from the previous one.

Either way, all the drivers are much newer :) Some devices are dated and version 1.0.0.52. The drivers are also HCL certified by Microsoft. The crucial thing about the new driver is the change in version from 4.4.50.6.0 (dated ) to. It comes as a Setup.exe, including both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers.Īfter installing the new driver (no need to uninstall the previous one), you will have the following new devices in device manager:į3507g Mobile Broadband Driver (Network Adapters)į3507g Mobile Broadband Device Management (COM3) The new filename is 7uw706ww.zip (direct download link), and comes in at 40MB (10 MB smaller than the last driver). Just to make things extra confusing (and harder to find) they removed the actual card model number from the description.

The driver is now listed under Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver. You would never know from glancing at the downloads page because it doesn’t list versions numbers or publish dates. It’s become clear from comments on my previous article, that Lenovo have released a new Windows 7 driver for the Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband card.
