    Hello everybody,

    How to make Quectel EP06-E mini PCIe to work with Dell E6410 laptop?
    Is not visible on the device manager and also in the BIOS.
    The light of WWAN card is ON...
    Other modems works easily...
    Some solution? Should the bios be whitelisted?

    Thanks in Beforehand,

    Hello @pm67310 was, not the case, I've discovered that I must "kill" the USB3.0 pins of the modem, in order to make it work.
    A simple tape covering the pins, makes the modem work on USB2.0 and MBIM at once, so, the Dell E6410, that have only USB2.0 after this trick, became functional.

    Thanks for replying me! But for HP even with this trick, is really BIOS blacklisted...

    Have a nice weekend.
