Can someone provide a driver for mv31-w? I cannot get this through my vendor, thanks

Hi,

MV31 is MS WHQL certified, so that the MBIM interface of MV31 is as default built-in on Windows ® 10 /11, so that the Mobile Broadband interface is at a plug & play.

With the official kernel update to 5.13, MV31 VID/PID has been added at generic LINUX Kernel driver, so that the MV31 MBIM for cellular data connection is at plug-play as a default under LINUX

What about the firmware selector tool? where can i get that? thanks again!

It would be good to have links to the files that you talk about above. for example: For example: the “SDX55 Thales USB 20200804 V007 INF” file (because I can't find it), and the Firmware Selector Tool.
