    For anyone else that seems to have this problem, you should just need to download the chipset drivers from the Dell page; that contains these drivers.

    Besides, the SMBus is not essential anyway; it is typically used to carry configuration / device information type settings (i.e. small amount of information) to and from the motherboard, like for example how full your battery is.
