    5530 was not designed to be used for m11x, so bios will always reject your installation. There is a turnaround for this somewhere in this forum (i saw a few months back) that posted driver as well. Just try searching in here. I tried using it myself but have discontinued it as i noticed that somehow, though the connection is there, bytes sent/transferred on the the status has no activity. better follow the suggestions from above, get 3g dongle or mifi.
