M2010 MCE Remote drivers
Can anyone clarify the levels of driver and perhaps the names of devices involved in the Media Centre Remote provided with the M2010?
I know the Dell Premium Remote application is downloadable; I have it despite not having the remote supplied with the machine. It comes up green, which I think indicates the LCD server is running.
What I'm curious about is what additional drivers exist to connect the remote to the Dell. I don't have anything obvious in the device manager, for example, and I can't see any obvious drivers beyond anything included in the Premium Remote download EXE.
What shows in the device manager if you have the remote?

There are no drivers for the M2010 remote per se. There is the Dell Premium Remote utility, which is a command server for the LCD display/interfacing with Windows Media Player.
The actual remote hardware is another USB HID. What is referred to as a "Wireless USB" board should not be confused with the new "Wireless USB" standard; it's a closed 2.4GHz band device which fundamentally replaces the USB cable. Many reports seemed to assume it's Wireless USB standard - but it's just the same sort of idea as the RF devices for other things like mice/keybords.
You should have an additiona HID device if your remote is working.
