New(er) HP Embedded / Verizon Manager

JGriggs

This does not seem to be on VZAM.net yet, but I downloaded a new manager from HP for my embedded card. The new manager covers both the 5720 (HP # EV2200) and the 5725 (HP # EV2210). This took my manager from version 5.7.3 up to 6.4.5.

On the upside, stability is much better. I'm not getting kicked off (randomly) as much. I haven't been getting 918 (no coverage) errors while the manager is showing 2 or 3 bars. My signal indicator (in dB) is higher in the same location. And finally, my speed seems to be consistently higher.

On the downside, I use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). The new manager clears all of the setting I apply to the connection every time I open the manager. It does not do this when redialing, only upon the first opening of the manager.

The driver package was released in June and is sp35886.
The manager says it has the drivers and the manager, but doesn't specify what drivers. It was released August 31 and is HP number sp36572.

Hope this helps someone...
