      I wanted to share this information with others after it took me so long to find out how to do this. Also you don't need Linux to do this, just Windows. I used the information and instructions on this website to convert the Dell DW5808 to a MC7355 as well as the DW5811 to EM7455. I mainly followed the information on this website here:
      https://zukota.com/sierra-wireless-em7455-how-to-make-it-work-with-an-older-lenovo-laptop/

      I also used some good information on these websites as well:
      https://github.com/danielewood/sierra-wireless-modems
      https://forum.netgate.com/topic/86514/sierra-mc73xx-working/11
      https://forum.sierrawireless.com/t/rebrand-em7455-lenovo-to-dell/8914/

      I hope this helps others too.
