    I have 3 cards that are unlabeled that are MC5725's. I have NO IDEA if they are Verizon or Sprint... Any ideas :( :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

    EDIT: I see a VERY TINY "SPR" on one and a "VZW" on the other... so that solves 2 of the 3... the 3rd one isn't labeled... :(

    The Sierra Wireless MC5725 shows to be a Verizon card for IBM/Lenovo.

    I could not get the IBM branded MC5725 to work in the CF-29 / CF-30. It had to be Toughbook MC5725 for the software to see it.

    Guys! This is the card they put in EVERYTHING (Well now they use mostly GOBI cards), but before they used these in ANY computer... I've found that the IBM ones do not work in the Toughbooks and visa versa...

    It still doesn't answer my original question...

    Maybe you could find the info from the hardware ID in device manager. Match the third card to one of the other two, if the known cards have different ID's.
