    Hi everyone,

    I`m a very frustrated owner of a brand new Dell XPS M1530. Downgraded the OS to windows XP and got just about everything to working well. I still can`t get to solve the "suspension wake up" issue and the WiFi connection problem. I need the Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCi-E Fast Ethernet driver but haven`t found any working solution for this problem.

    Since I work with (cracked) ;) softwares that require quite a lot of RAM and GPU memory, I wouldn`t want to upgrade to Vista.

    If anyone has seen or found a way to get this thing to work please post, or send e-mail. I`d really appreciate it.

    Take care ya all.

    Matias

    You need to give more details of what doesn't work, you could start by saying what errors you get.

    Every time windows starts, I get the following message/alert:

    "Wireless Network Driver not Installed"

    I opened the Device Manager and under Network Adapters, I get a red "X" over the icon for the Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCi-E Fast Ethernet Controller. I´ve searched everywhere for this driver, but there seems to be none for Windows XP.

    Hope you can give me a hand.

    Beforehand, thanx.
    Matias
