Dell Mobile Broadband Manager Dw5550 Driver

Dell

Dell Update Package for driver installer supporting Dell Wireless 5630 Mobile Broadband Mini-Card. Operating System. Windows 7, 32-bit. 2.02.07.003.1, A00. This is a driver and firmware installer. It does not include the Dell Mobile Broadband. If the card is detected but unable to connect check out the information in the following Dell troubleshooting guide, I would also suggest contacting your Mobile Broadband service provider to make sure the card is activated or if they have available driver options for you to test. Troubleshooting Steps: WWAN / 3G / Mobile Broadband.

Dell Mobile Broadband Manager Dw5550 DriverOn a Dell Latitude 6320, using opensuse 12.1 64 bit, this card normally asks for its PIN, as soon as I log into KDE. I can then use the networkmanager to make a UMTS/EDGE/GPRS connection. With opensuse 12.2, the PIN is never requested, and I am also unable to activate 'enable mobile broadband'. All regular wifi works as it should, but the broadband just remains dead.
  1. This package contains the files needed for installing the Wireless 5550 HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini-Card driver. If it has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix problems, add new functions, or expand existing ones. Even though other OSes might be compatible as well, we do not recommend applying this release.

Dell Mobile Broadband Manager Dw5550 Driver Update

Any idea what I could do to fix this? I tried to follow various suggestions including a patched network manager, but this all seems to relate to wifi problems anyway, not to the broadband thing. And consequently, none of those suggestions helped.
I earlier posted this under 'Hardware' but cannot figure out how to transfer to 'Wireless'.

Hi All,

Dell

Is anyone deploying Dell WWAN 5540 Drivers & Dell Mobile Broadband Manager for Latitude Laptops?
We are having an issue where the if we install the 5540 driver pack (as a managed installation once Windows is built) it is advising the 'system is incompatible' and failing to install the drivers. However if we manually install the same driver pack immediately afterwards it installs perfectly fine.
We have tried using the 5540 drivers included in the driver feed from our K2000 server however when we launch the Dell Mobile Broadband Manager it advises the 'Mobile Broadband device is not responding' and is missing the Program Files folder 'Dell WWAN' under the 'Dell' folder. It seems the drivers pulled via K2000 doesn't include the software required to get the Dell Mobile Broadband Manager to work with the WWAN card. Note that the WWAN card can connect to other networks fine so the installation of the actual hardware is fine at this point.
I have spoken to Dell support and they cannot help me with this as they think it is a KACE issue, we are awaiting a response from KACE.
I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue.
Cheers
