88E8040 GIGABIT DRIVER

It's not just Dell BTW I cannot even get an option in the WLAN chips properties to add a 7 option which gives wireles-N compatibility. As anyone successfully connected at "n" speeds? Do you already have an account? I mean, it's not that this is a feature they declined to add because of cost. Log in or Sign up. For some reason the XPS does not appear to have gigabit ethernet.

Andrew LBJun 26, If we can fix a few of these problems, it will save me a lot of time laying down the law with whomever answers the phone over at Dell today! For some reason the XPS does not appear to have gigabit ethernet. I believe you're right. Your name or gibabit address: Was this some nutty segmentation strategy? I cannot even get an option in the WLAN chips properties to add a 7 option which gives wireles-N compatibility.

I've tried for two days with countless Cat-6 and Cat-5e cables brand new and toyed with every setting and driver I can find 88e800 my Dell XPS M and so far I can only get it to run at mbps. Log in or Sign up.

Givabit, create an account now. What I don't understand is WHY. IF so, complain and ask tech support to give you a link to the "real firmware".

It's not just Dell BTW I nearly passed on the because of this. Why would they cripple this? They wanted to keep the gigabit functionality in the more high end business type machines.

Yes, my password is: Why a feature common to many inexpensive notebooks is missing from an allegedly "premium" line like XPS is unknown.

Was someone in a bad mood?

I'm considering calling Dell in a few moments and demand that they send me not only the Dell WLAN network card that I had initially ordered, I also want them to solve the problem of why I cannot get gigabit ethernet out of this notebook. Out of curiosity, did Dell's MO Tech Specs page say anything about the ethernet, or did it just mention the chipset and leave it at that?

As anyone successfully connected at "n" speeds? Unless Dell says it has a GigE connection And if they screw with me I'm going to not only send the laptop back I haven't tried a ton of stuff yet, but Gigxbit noticed last night that I have only been getting "g" speed on with my intel chip and a linksys wrtn router.
