Ok someone on the dell forum actually found an updated driver on Dells
website and it is actually in the wrong place but it is for the E520, E521
and a bunch more.
This driver is R173209.exe
it is version 6.10.0.5515

to get it

http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R173209&formatcnt=1&libid=0&fileid=235508

When you go to install it- it will show you all the systems it can go on
If yours is NOT listed just cancel the install.

It works!
as soon as I rebooted about an hour later WU asked me to install sp1

Good detective work! Anybody have a source update for the Inspiron
1420? The most recent one I can find dates from last year, and the
newer ones are for desktops.

Robinb,

Unfortunately, been there, done that, got the T-shirt, but no drivers.
;) It looks as if it will just be another waiting game.

I extracted the driver package from the link that RobinB posted and then
opened the included Version.txt to see what systems the drivers are for:

Computers : DV061;
Dimension - 5100, 5100C, 9100, C521, DC051, DM051, DM061, DV051,
Dimension - DXC051, DXC061, DXP051, DXP061, E521;
OptiPlex - 210L, 740;
Precision - 380, 390, 490, 690;
XPS - 420, DXG061, XPS 720, XPS710

Inspirons are notincluded in the list.

MowGreen,

Thanks. However, that lack is what caused me to make my original
post. Will keep looking.
