    The newest firmware for the 5530 HSPA Mini-Card won't install on my XPS1640.
    Have you had success installing it?

    This is the driver from the Dell site:

    The driver is called Dell_Wireless-5530-HSPA-Mini_A01_R212325_firmware.exe

    Executing this file unpacks it:

    ...and continues to start the installation:

    ...pressing OK will give me this:

    What's your experience on this?

    I have also actually tried it after exhausting everything else to get GPS working without having to send AT commands to the modem. Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers
