    Sorry, problem with Mozilla.
    The text was this:
    Hi all.
    I'm about to give up.
    This is the machine. CF19FHNANAA tuned with 4 gb of ram, windows 7 64bit.
    The problem arises with the WWAN card. I have 2 for choose, Novatel EU870D or Sierra Wireless MC8775 .
    I have not been able to put to work either CARDS. When not giving me problems of the digital signature of the drivers, the program management of the card, says there is no device connected.
    I was digging in the forum, in google, but haven´t found the solution.
    I have also tried to disable the requirement of digital signature of the operating system.
    Someone comes up with an idea?
    Indeed, this is written with the help of Google Language Tools

    Is the WWAN enabled in the BIOS? You need to know if it shipped with a WWAN installed. If it was not, then you will need to flash your BIOS to enable the WWAN in it. I know there was a thread out on that BIOS file and where to get it. One of the GURU'S gave me the info when I added my WWAN, but I don't know where I put it.

    Yes, it is enabled in the BIOS.
    When i get this TB, the WWAN worked with W7 32bits.
    I think the problem come with the Digital Signature of the drivers.
    Hope you can find that info.....

    The problem could very well be with the 64bit OS. Panasonic did not officially support the Mk2 with either Win 7 or any 64bit OS.

    Did you get that FHNANAA from Rugged Depot?

    AFAIK, we're the only company that has that particular Aussie model.

    It works well under Win8 x64. So I'm sure it will work under Win7 x64 too :)
    I've tried it myself.

    Hi all
    Glen, really, Panasonic dont give support for this WWAN Cards, but the manufacturers (Sierra W., and Novatel ) can do it.

    Rob, I got this TB through an English seller of EBAY.

    Ok, BaRRmaley, everything on this TB works perfectly, except that F=@#&%$·" WWAN card.
    Right now I'm weighing the possibility of changing the card for another model, from which it is known that is fully compatible with the OS.
    I'm still waiting for a divine light to show me the way.
    Best wishes from Jose

    You can sign driver for Seven 64 if it's just the problem ;)

    It was Novatel Connect or Mobilink that worked well under Win8 x64. One of them.
