have to shutdown Windows to use hardware

I have the Verizon 740 WWAN card - with native support in OSX. It works brilliantly. (1.5M down, up to 800K up)

Using a Windows XP guest under Parallels 3.0 works well too. No problems.

However if I just close my MacBook without shutting down, when I reopen/restart it Windows detects a "new device" and OSX no longer sees the 740. The only way I have found to resolve is to close the Windows VM so OSX then sees the WWAN card.

There has GOT to be a better way. Ideas?

Help??
 
Is it a USB device?

Look at the Parallels menu on the top line (while Parallels is in focus). Click Devices/USB/<your device>. When windows controls the device, there should be a checkmark next to it. Click on it to remove the checkmark and it will go back to OSX.
