Hi, how do I use the SIM Slot Card on my HP- Elitebook 2530p? I also noticed that the "mobile broadband" tab in the network settings is not active! I thought that would be automatic once I put in a SIM card to the Slot... Porteus KDE envionment...

On my Dell inspiron 1525 has a Sim card slot but when you get the Sim card you get another part that has to be put inside the laptop to make it work. Hope this helps.

So you're saying the sim card slot is just a "dummy" - I doubt it.. coz in windows it works just by putting a SIM card in the slot and downloading the hp-drivers... I found this link online https://blog.philippklaus.de/2012/05/hp ... ook-2530p/ but it is for Ubuntu plus some of the referal links in the articles are dead-links... - I think it would work once the mobile broadband tab in the network manager is enabled... but I can't seem to figure that out!

That what I found out about the Dell mind is missing parts. I was told if I sign up for a internet service that use a Sim card I would get what I need.

Maybe your is missing a driver and someone that knows more will have to tell or help you. Sorry I can't help you.

On my Fujitsu Lifebook P702 I have had to remove and connect battery again to enable Mobile Broadband for SIM card if it was disappeared for unknown reason. WWAN must be enabled in BIOS.
