    Hi Guys,

    I am having a problem with my hardware/drivers. Every day I start up my M11x, the system (Windows 7), The Device Manager shows issues with the following hardware:

    - Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller
    - DW1520 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card

    and Many of the USB Controllers like:

    - Intel(R) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller -29XX


    I tried the following fixes:
    - Uninstalling of them and restarting
    - System Restore 1 Month ago
    - Updating the USB drivers.

    But non fixed the issue.

    The only work around I am doing now, is to disable and then enable every device by itself. But this is crazy I can't do it every time I boot up Windows.

    Anyone has experienced similar issue?

    Many thanx

    Did you try reloading the Dell drivers ?
