Dell TrueMobile 1400 Network Driver ver A02 will not install

I've download and attempted to install the latest Dell TrueMobile 1400 ver A02 (4/15/2004) for my Inspiron 9100 /w a 1400 internal TrueMobile wireless network adapter.  However during the install it attempts to identify the wireless card type and then fails, telling me:

"No compatible hardware found.  The software you are attempting to install is not supported on this system.  The software will not be installed."

After attempting to install a couple of times, I noticed on the R74092us.EXE extraction conformation, the form heading says:

  "Network: Dell TrueMobile 1300 802.11 b/g PCMCIA Package"

I've verified the links I'm selecting from the download page, and I'm always present the same file to download R74092us.EXE.  Obviously the package is only for the 1300 not the 1400. 

Any idea how to get the right stuff? - Frank

System Info: i9100, 3.2Ghz, 1Gig RAM, 60Gig HDD, WUSGA, 1400 TrueMobile, Bluetooth

    you need to go into the folder for the driver and open the Setup.ini file and scroll to the bottom where you see this:

    [WAIVED_HARDWARE_IDS_NT]
    DEVICE0=PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4320&SUBSYS_00021028
    DEVICE1=PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4320&SUBSYS_00041028
    DEVICE2=PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4324&SUBSYS_00021028
    DEVICE3=PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4324&SUBSYS_00041028


    you need to remove the subsys entries so it looks like this:


    [WAIVED_HARDWARE_IDS_NT]
    DEVICE0=PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4320
    DEVICE1=PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4320
    DEVICE2=PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4324
    DEVICE3=PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4324
    then save the file overwriting the original and run the setup program again

    That did the trick.  My version went from 3.20.23.0 (6/13/2003) to 3.40.65.0 (2-17-2004).

    Thanks a bunch! - Frank
