    Afraid there is no easy way - the Driver + software detects the platform and will not install unless it is * Latitude E6500 / E6400 / E6400 ATG / E5400 / E4300 / E4200 or * Precision M4400 NB

    This is due to the diversity antenna on these being optimized for the 1.575 Ghz band wheras the antenna on the xps and most older laptops are not.

    There does apear to be an unsuported way to get it done but cannot get dell to tell me.....
