    Ive just installed Windows 7 RC1 on my lovely Vaio TT VGN-TT11VN/X

    Everything looks good, wifi quickly working but one thing i found doesnt work is the 3g smartcard internet access :(

    Ive tried installing all the drivers, it recognises the Globetrotter Smartcard reader installed but then says cant install drivers when trying to install the software

    Im running Windows 7 RC1 x64 bit version to take advantage of the 4GB ram ;)

    Anyone had any luck getting WWAN running? :confused:

    Thanks!

    That link also helps for a TZ21VN, the only single problem i have with win7rc is that i can not find any hint how to activate/install the app of sony that sits in the tray and let's me switch on/off bt, wlan and wwan... wwan eats too much power for having it on all the time... any idea?

    -> problem solved - sony smart network is the program to choose though i had to start the exe manually for the 1st time.
