    I was given Option GlobeTrotter GTM351E cellular modem (aka wwan card). I as I know it is retreived from Dell D620. I've tryied all possible drivers for this piece of hardware, but all driver intstallers say, thet they cannot recognise the card.

    can anyone point me to proper driver? I cannot start my wwan card =( it's still unrecognised in windows.

    I'm trying to use it with my dell inspiron 1420

    Make sure you have the WWAN options enabled in the BIOS, if you haven't already.

    Also, I believe the WWAN cards are tied to their providers, you may have to get drivers from the specific provider (eg Sprint, Verizon) in order to use it.

    I hope this helps.
