I've got the MC7455, which I believe is basically the same as the EM7455. Presumably this might be one of the cards you say you can't get though. I haven't been able to thoroughly test it given my issues with the APU3, but a friend of mine played with it a bit under vmware and it seems functional under both the umsm driver with PPP and the umb driver in MBIM mode, although in order to use the latter you need to disable the umsm module as it claims the device with a higher priority. I ended up ordering one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JGCSPEA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and will most likely connect the miniPCI card to the external xHCI ports on the APU3 which at least at initial glance seems functional. Kind of kludgy, but better than the other fallback plan of using linux for this deployment :).
