I have installed this driver ---------SierraWirelessDrivers_2.0.6.dmg

 

 

SierraWirelessDrivers_2.0.6.dmg.zip

[antizo]

I have modified the code of Info.plist that I have put .

"<key>0x1199/0x68a2 MC7710</key>"  instead of  "<key>0x199/0x68a2 MC7710</key>"

and it worked , nice !

 

 

 

 

But Aircard watcher doesn't work.

Info.plist.zip

[Hervé]

That "Key" field is just like a title, so if that's the only thing you modified, it's not possible that it made a change in terms of operations; you must have changed something else.

 

In addition if you opted to modify the vendor id of your dedicated entry from 0x1199 (i.e. 4505 in decimal) to 0x(0)199 (i.e. 409 in decimal), then your dedicated entry no longer applies to your hardware (its ids obviously will not change!) and another profile is being used instead...

[antizo]

I don't know anything else what I have done.

And I have uninstalled the SierraWirelessDrivers.

$ ls -al /dev/tty.*
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   21,   6 May  6 17:45 /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   21,   2 May  6 17:45 /dev/tty.wwan
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   21,   4 May  6 17:45 /dev/tty.wwanDM
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   21,   0 May  6 17:45 /dev/tty.wwanGPS

But the icon of LTE in the  top-bar displays unconnect always , I cannot use it .

I must go to the network preferences to connect the LTE , but the icon still shows unconnect  .

what can I do if I want to use it to connect or disconnect?

 

[Hervé]

So the main change was the uninstallation of the SierraWireless drivers.

 

The WWAN icon may simply refer to a different piece of previously registered hardware from when you had the SierraWireless drivers installed. It may be like when you choose show the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and then remove or disable the Bluetooth hardware: the icon stays there but is unusable.

 

Try and uncheck the box used to display the icon, then recheck it afterwards.

 

[antizo]

I know that now!

It's very simple.

Because the icon  stands for the "MC7710" ,not "MC7710 2" in the network preferences .

So when I delete the "MC7710" and rename the "MC7710 2" by "MC7710" ,it works. 

haha 

And I can manage the LTE  by the icon .

nice

 

 

Do u know how to use the Aircard watcher ?

I have tried to install many different editions ,but no one  can worked.

[Hervé]

Sorry, 'never heard of it.

[antizo]

ok ..thank u

aircard watcher is ancient. it was ment to run on OSX 10.4 and 10.5 i would not expect it to work on 10.14.x but i guess you can try this https://kb.netgear.com/22853/How-do-I-install-or-upgrade-my-AirCard-Watcher-software-in-Mac-OS-X
