My Embedded Mobile Broadband device is not getting detected by the Connection Manager even though the WWAN drivers are installed

This applies to Mobile Broadband devices that are embedded into the Laptop.

1. In most of the cases the WWAN or Mobile Broadband device needs to be turned on explicitly using a utility provided by the OEM
2. These utilities are not part of the Driver Installation package and hence needs to be downloaded directly from the OEM website.
3. Please go through the Prerequisite or System requirement section of the Driver Installer webpage in the OEM website.

e.g:

For HP Compaq 6515b Notebook PC, the WWAN broadband driver installer webpage has a System Requirements section that lists the prerequisites for installing this driver. In this case the HP Wireless Assistant needs to be installed before installing the WWAN broadband driver.

Hope you find this useful.
