    I just did a clean install, and installed all the drivers one by one. However, I'm now confused by some of the drivers listed on the Dell Alienware m11xR3 driver page.

    My question is, what is a Wireless 5620 evdo-hspa mobile broadband mini card? Is that one of the AT&T/Verizon things, and do I need it?

    That is a cellular broadband card. If you only have a wifi card installed you don't need that.

    Also, I can't seem to find the driver for an unidentified device whose id is ACPI/CPL0002. I went through the forums and have been Googling but I can't seem to find an answer that everyone agrees on. Can someone help me with this too? Thanks!

    Your unknown device might be the free fall sensor.

    I've already installed the free-fall sensor; I've searched for ACPI/CPL0002 and people have mentioned it has something to do with the battery meter. Anyone know where I can find this driver?
