Thumbs up Drivers for Dell Inspiron Mini 9 (910)
by cookiemonster 01-20-2009, 04:36 PM

I know I have at times been quite confused as to which drivers were for what hardware, and there has especially been some confusion over the different drivers for the Battery Meter/Wireless Select Switch thing. I therefore decided to compile a list of the various drivers together with their filename. All links are to Dell's ftp site, for direct file download. BTW, these are listed as Windows XP drivers on their site to download drivers. Ubuntu drivers are built-in to the kernel (so, you don't need these).

Drivers for the Mini 9, taken from Dell's website:
Recommended order to install these drivers

Finally, you can sign up on Dell's website to be notified by email whenever a new driver is released (including new BIOS releases). You will need to be signed in to "Create a New Subscription." The rest should be pretty straightforward.

I hope people find this post useful! Maybe it can be made a sticky... hint, hint

Edit: Due to popular demand, I will list drivers from sources other than Dell which have been reported to work with the Mini.

Am I the only one who can't get this to download? It starts, but the download speed is quite slow, and then times out before it actually finishes the download. Is there an alternate server to get this from?

TIA


Cheers,

  • Go to the homepage http://www.realtek.com.tw/
  • Click on "HD Audio Codec Driver" on the right side under Quick Links
  • Check the "I accept to the above" box
  • Click Next
  • Click one of the "GO" links for the appropriate driver.

Much faster that way!

I would be surprised if XD cards worked even with this update. I don't think the reader has the contacts in the right place.

xD cards are half the length, you'd just end up getting it lost in the slot. I'm guessing the controller can be used with other card readers.
