    Hello,

    Can anybody tell me how can I check if the WWAN card is installed in the system?
    Under which category it usually presents in the "Windows Device Manager"?

    Thank you.

    Network Devices in Device Manager when viewed by "Devices By Type....
    My 5530 shows up as "Dell Wireless 5530 HSPA Mini-Card Network Adapter". This is in an E6400 BTW....

    Thanks a lot. I did check it in the BIOS in the "System Info", there is no "Cellular device" in my laptop. Will buy an external one.
