Dell Latitude Ultrabook, E-Family & Mobile Precision Reimage “How-To” Guide
2.6.15 Mobile Broadband Wireless Wide Area Network Adapter (WWAN)
o Microsoft Operating Systems do not provide native support for the broadband Wireless
WAN controllers featured in Dell Latitude E-Family & Mobile Precision systems. To obtain
broadband functionality, install the Broadband device driver applicable to the wireless WAN
devices installed in the system, and to the service carrier you have a contract with available
on Dell’s driver & downloads support web site (dell.com/support) under the
“Modem/Communication” section
o The Wireless 5600 EVDO-HSPA module( applies to 1
st
generation Latitude E-Family & Mobile
Precision only ) requires the installation of Dell Control Point Connection Manager. Install
the driver and FW before installing the Dell Control Point Connection Manager. The latest
versions of Dell Control Point Connection Manager (v1.3 and later) provide the WWAN
drivers and FW in the Dell Control Point Connection Manager Driver Pack. Earlier versions
provide the drivers and FW in one single Dell Control Point Connection Manager installer.
The Dell Control Point Connection Manger application and Driver Packs can be found under
the “Control Point” section posted on Dell’s driver & downloads support web site
(dell.com/support). Individual driver and FW releases for the 5600 EVDO-HPSA module can
be found under the “Modem/Communication” section posted on Dell’s driver & downloads
support web site (dell.com/support). It is highly recommended to use the Driver Packs to
ensure version compatibility
2.6.16 Touchpad
o Microsoft Operating Systems do not include the Dell Touchpad drivers
o The Microsoft native OS mouse driver only provides basic point and click functionality. No
advanced features are available with the native driver and this may provide a less than
optimal user experience
o Dell recommends installing the appropriate Dell Touchpad driver for the following user
experience benefits:
1. The driver is tuned to the system characteristics to offer enhanced cursor
acceleration and precision
2. The driver provides the core palm rejection features
3. Access to additional features and control setting (varies with system) including:
 Enhanced scrolling and tapping
 Touch sensitivity control
 Multi-Touch Gestures (2nd Generation)
 Jog Shuttle control (M6400 & M6500)
o Dell Touchpad drivers are found under the “Mouse, Keyboard & Input Device Drivers”
section posted on Dell’s driver & downloads support web site (dell.com/support)
