Ah, is this still the case with EX720s on Sprint? :-/ I don't have any Windows notebooks around with ExpressCard slots.
What is the latest firmware and PRL for EX720's on Sprint?
Edited to Add: Wait, will Windows SprintView work via Parallels? I have XP, Vista and Win 7 VMs under Parallels 5.0.

The version on the site (2.27.0026.0) is the one I installed this morning. Would it try to update the PRL using the Tools->Check for Updates Now menu item? When I did that it told me that everything was up to date, despite my card from firmware and PRL from 2006.

i would *expect* that the latest version of sprint smartview would bring your device up to speed, so i am as confused as you are.
at this point, if the EX720 is working well for you, perhaps we're thinking too hard? |

Maybe. I have a ticket in to 3G store to see what they think, since I bought the refurb from them.
My inner geek just balks at my "newer" replacement having older firmware/PRL than the one I am replacing.

SmartView worked fine on my MBP running in Vista on Boot Camp.

Install the software. Mac OS will complain that the installer installed stuff incorrectly.
Move the CDFree* and DevGuruVsp* kexts from /System/Library/Extensions to the desktop.
Delete the panther versions
Rename the tiger versions to CDFree.kext and DevGuruVsp.kext
Copy them to /Library/Extensions
Go into terminal, and fix permissions in the the /Library/Extensions directory:
cd /Library/Extensions
sudo chown -R root:wheel *
sudo chmod -R 0644 *
Load the driver:
sudo kextload -v *
Then at some point, either by removing and inserting the USB adapter, or playing around with the Software, I got a popup saying that a new network adapter was detected.
Then, I went into System Preferences, and to the first A600 device, added #777 as the phone number, cricket as the username, and my last 7 digits of my phone number as the password. I was then able to use this device to connect. |
I finally got this to work. Now the only problem is that I have to go back into terminal and do this every single time I disconnect and reconnect my modem after a shutdown.
cd /Library/Extensions
sudo chown -R root:wheel *
sudo chmod -R 0644 *
Load the driver:
sudo kextload -v *
******* Well, I finally figured it out!!!
Make this Application using applescript editor: (substitute YOURPW for your system password)
do shell script "chown -R root:wheel /library/extensions/*" password "YOURPW" with administrator privileges
do shell script "chmod -R 0644 /library/extensions/*" password "YOURPW" with administrator privileges
do shell script "kextload -v /library/extensions/*" password "YOURPW" with administrator privileges
Save this file as an Application, on your Desktop for example (or just about anywhere else).
To have this automatically run every time you log in, just add it in your Login Items (Preferences).
Make sure NOT to connect your modem until after your system has completed the Login completely!! *** If you do, you'll have to remove and reconnect the modem again for it to work. Give the modem some time to initialize and be read by the system. |
