My Mobile Broadband card with my Sony Vaio VHN-P19WN does not get detected on Windows 7

My Mobile Broadband card with my Sony
Vaio VHN-P19WN
does not get detected on Windows 7 –

I just got it working
and want to share the installation procedure. You’ll need these drivers and
apps from Sony:

1.
Sony
Shared Library 5.3 - Download

2.
VAIO
Setting Utility Series 4.3 - Download

3.
VAIO
Control Center 3.3 - Download

4.
VAIO
Event Service 4.3 - Download

5.
Sony
Firmware Extension Parser 8.0 - Download

6.
VAIO
Power Management 3.3 - Download

7.
VAIO Smart Network 2.3 - Download

 

Sometimes you can get
newer versions of the software depending on the Vaio model you own from the
Sony Vaio support site but I can confirm that the above downloads are working
for a Sony Vaio P-series. The installation procedure is crucial:

  1. Sony Shared Library
  2. Setting Utility Series
  3. VAIO Control Center
  4. VAIO Event Service
  5. Firmware
    Extension Parser (by manual updating the unknown device in device
    manager”
  6. VAIO Power Management
  7. VAIO Smart Network

After that you can
enable the device and install the usual Globetrotter driver and management
software. One thing I noticed: I couldn’t install the connection manager
software running the default permission within Windows 7. I had to disable UAC,
reboot and after that the MSI installer worked flawlessly for this paket.
Reenabled UAC, reboot and everything works.
