Go to the Dell support site, Dell Mini 12 drivers, and download/install the Battery Meter/Wireless Select Switch (under Applications) and the JMicron driver (under Chipset)...see if that clears the unknown devices. Link to Mini 12 drivers.

The battery meter/wireless select switch allows you to use Fn+2 to switch your wireless on/off, and the JMicron driver is for the SD/SDHC/MMC card reader.

Default dell mini9 - 08-05-2009, 03:58 PM

this solved the problem for my mini 9 running windows 7 rc1. the base devices were the SD card and the unknown was the battery monitor.

Just went through the same problem and the jmicron drivers for the sd slot is what did it.
Thanks to all who post. Without all of us, I may have had a questionable machine.
