    The new wireless drivers have been available for about 4 days now. From what I can see, it add support for a second brand of card that Dell decided to use in the M17X. I'm eagerly awaiting a new bluetooth and video driver. I like to tether a celllular connection through my cell phone using bluetooth, and it seems like the current driver keeps causing intermittent disconnections (although it's pretty smooth sailing with a bluetooth mouse). As for the new beta video driver, it doesn't seem like it offers much. I think there's a slight performance decrease from my testing.
