How to get 3G working on the HP Mini 1000
after calls after calls to hp and att
i finally got my 3g work on my new mini 1000 model # 1033cl 1.6g, 1g, 60g 1st you need to download HP Multi-WWAN Driver Installer here is the link: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp41001-41500/sp41365.exe once you finish download you will see sp41365.exe on your desktop dont install it, unzip it, you can use winrar to do that once you unpack you will see the picture below double click Swisetup and install the driver  after you done that turn off your computer and insert your sim card to the computer  turn on your computer im using att, so i just open the HPQATTAgent click setup and you are done =) enjoy To those asking about the password: If you want to install AT&T service activation, you need to call AT&T and get the data card. You can't just use your current iPhone 3g card. I got mine @ my local AT&T store. Once you get the card, AT&T will give you your INDIVIDUAL passcode. Last edited by Jenn; 11-25-2008 at 09:29 PM. Reason: Added update about password from post #31 of this thread for clarification

Wow! That's great, dplxy.
 What kinds of speeds are you getting and how is it affecting battery life?

Re: How to get 3G working on the HP Mini 1000
This thread is now being linked by Engadget...
But one of the commenters did mention something interesting...why do the actual contacts of the SIM reflect on the bottom of the battery area? Wouldn't the SIM more than likely go in the other way? If this actually works, this is great news...maybe HP messed up and sent these units out not realizing they had WWAN?

Re: How to get 3G working on the HP Mini 1000
I'm going to have to see a little more proof of this, like trying it myself, before I believe it. It's already well documented that the HP Mini 1000 has an open PCIe slot, which means it should be easy enough to put one in, but this post seems to suggest that there's a secret 3G chipset already in the hardware and I find that hard to believe. Of course I didn't bring my Mini 1000 to work with me so I can't confirm or disprove this right now, but you can bet it's the first thing I'm going to do when I get home.

Re: How to get 3G working on the HP Mini 1000
Now linked by Gizmodo as well as Engadget.... bet ArsTechnica will be right behind (wouldn't be surprised to see Wired / Switched pick it up as well). Gaining on Digg as well, heading for the front page in record time. Admin should optimize for HEAVY traffic or create a mirror..... the Digg effect will crash this forum.
Congrats to the OP... you're famous  And yes, it DOES work (I can confirm, and there are more confirmed results out of Gizmodo). Last edited by R3ap3R; 11-24-2008 at 06:35 AM.

Well, that suddenly goes from mildly interesting to very interesting... I might even have to leave work early today to check this out.
