    Hi all, has anyone purchased the vodafone enabled x61 in australia using vista ?

    I have the following issues,

    1 - It only works with Access Connections (you must have it installed to run)
    2 - the lenovo firmware update to take the WWAN adapter to version 2.45 so it can be used with the VMC (Vodafone Mobile Connect) Software for vista ver 5.13.0008 doesn't find the card, despite device manager & access connections seeing it and connecting to it.
    3 - Lenovo support say as long as the hardware is working, then call vodafone.
    4 - Lenovo are sending me out a new wwan mini pci card to swap out the one internally to see if that fixes the issue (I am not hopeful)

    Has anyone had these issues and could shed some light or suggestion on this ?
