    I upgraded to Windows 8 which went almost flawless, with one issue. The WWAN Card stopped working and i cannot reinstall the driver (well in fact i can, but the card still has question mark). Does anyone have an ETA when Dell will start releasing drivers for Windows 8?

    BTW: It is not a big deal, Windows is only for gaming anyways which i usually dont when on travel (and therefore dont need the WWAN card). Still, im curious how well the auto migration between network interfaces that MS announce works.

    ^ lol Windows 8 typically works just fine with the 7 drivers..........so why not try looking for the GENERIC driver for said chipset?

    Dell just released a new driver a few day ago. This release is actually older than the release from july 2012. It is really a shame....and still no working Windows 8 Driver.
