MC7710 under High Sierra

[[email protected]]

Hello. 

I have a ThinkPad x230 2325-78G laptop with a SW MC7710 Modem.

 

I've installed a High Sierra 10.3.2 and I don't know how to get working this modem.

 

Windows Device Manager show this config: USB\VID_1199&PID_68A2&REV_0006&MI_0c

 

What should I do to resolve my problem?

I used kext in attachments and problem still not resolved (please look at screenshots).

If you read the existing topics for these QMI models, you'll find that you need to set them to the correct QMI mode if Direct IP (DIP) is not readily available. You may find this too difficult to your liking.

Thanks a lot, Herve.

 

I got working my MC7710.

Good to know. Don't be hesitate to post the list of actions you took for the benefits of others.

I had High Sierra and Ubuntu 18.04 installation.

 

I rebooted laptop to ubuntu and entered this:

sudo apt-get install perl 

sudo apt-get install libuuid-tiny-perl 

sudo apt-get install libipc-shareable-perl 

sudo apt-get install modem-manager-gui

and this:

sudo perl swi_setusbcomp.pl --usbcomp=14

 

So after this you should add kext to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ and make reboot.

 

 

Now my laptop looks like this:

Great, thanks. Data rates look pretty good.

I faced with the problem: when I establish connection to mobile network, the modem stops working in 5 minutes after creating connection.

I cant find any logs in my system. Please help me to resolve this issue.
