My old Lenovo X60 (wwan ready: antenna an sim slot available) uses the current state of the art UMTS (mini pci express) card from Ericcson. The card orignally belongs to an Lenovo W520 - FRU is 60Y3279.
!I am using the original BIOS (no zender!)
Basically:
* Download drivers for the card from Lenovo
* Extract drivers (the .exe complains that my X60 is not supported) using InstallShield tools
* Cover pin 20 on the card with scotch tape. (Drawback: card cannot be turned off)
* Plugin the card (I am using only the main antenna)
Hint:
* Even with pin 20 enabled (no scotch) my notebook booted without error 180X and windows showed it in the device manager - but cannot be turned on!
* Fn+F5 (Access Connection) does not show the card, but the connection can be configured.
* Access Connection can turn the card off (probably via AT commands)
Any question: Leave a comment with your mail-addr.
PS: In comparison to WiFi tethering with my Palm Pre: the card is awesome fast! (using O2 max. 3.6 Mbit/s)
Update:

I'm trying to get this working on a whitelist BIOS X60 and get an authentication error. How did you extract the drivers? The setup program only seems to create part of the files before the error, and data2.cab is not there, which means extraction fails.
