E6500 Part II & Cutting the Cord

By Doug Gaff

Update on my E6500 post.
Things are improving in the driver department. Since that post, Dell
has released new apps/drivers for: Sound, DCP, Fingerprint Reader,
Embassy, and the Webcam. I'm no longer having most of the problems I
reported, except suspend is still flaky when the mobile broadband card is enabled, and DCP still really sucks. As soon as I figure out how to run the mobile broadband card without DCP, I'm uninstalling that app. Many thanks for the numerous helpful comments and the commiseration.
