Venue 11 Pro screen blinks when using the 5808 Broadband card

I just received my 7130 vpro 4300y Venue 11 Pro equipped with a 5808 card.  Everything seems to be working well after applying all the updates, but I noticed a small problem. When the connection is enabled, the screen will randomly and briefly blink.  Just for a half of a second and not very often, perhaps once every two or three minutes.  If I turn off the connection the blinking stops. Has anyone seen this before?  Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

    Thought I was the only one. Just got to testing the card today (T-Mobile). While it connects, the screen flickering is absolutely annoying. There is also a buzz in headphones when WWAN is connected. Grounding issue with antenna?

    Just did a test to stop the flickering: right click on your WWAN adapter, go to Properties then select Configure. Click on Advanced tab and disable 'Selective Suspend'.

    This setting didn't fix my problem.

    I have been having the same trouble, but it only started in the past month.

    Try updating the latest 5808 driver that was released on Oct 13. It seems to have slowed the frequency of the intermittent black screens for me.
