Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Drivers

Does anyone have info as to when Dell will post drivers for their Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cards for WM 2003? VERY FRUSTRATING to get the new plug 'n play OS with no drivers available for THEIR OWN CARDS!!

don't hold your breath waiting. dell seems to have forgotten about anybody that already gave them money in favor of new consumers that they can get more money out of.

if the performance of dell regarding WM2003 is any type of indication you will see dell offering new WiFi and bluetooth cards that are WM2003 compatible before you see them actually support a product that someone has already paid for.

it is also very frustrating to see dell shipping new units to new customers with WM2003 installed but they are holding back the upgrade for existing customers. i suppose there COULD be a logical reason but every ounce of logic in my body tells me that answer is simple.

new axim with WM2003 = $293
axim upgrade to WM2003 - $29

why should they give you a driver when they have not exploited the opportunity to try and get you to buy new cards yet?

Dell said all their drivers that required an update to work with WM2003 have already been updated.

The WiFi driver they have on their site supports WM2003. I also have the foldable and snap-on keyboard drivers which supports WM2003. Also the Margi Presenter-to-Go CompactFlash Card has WM2003 drivers.

the Bluetooth driver has not been updated so either it already works with WM2003 (which is what I assume) or the update is in the progress ..

Hi Planet-Ed,

I can tell you with certainty that the driver that comes packaged with their Bluetooth card from before the release (a week before!!) of WM-2003 swiftly brings the new OS to its knees. Had to perform a hard reset.


Thanks, Richard
