Through extensive testing I've found a work around for this problem. Both, driver and application showing up for my Vostro 3460 at Dell's driver update page for Windows 8 are broken. None of them works. Do not bother installing them. I repeat, they do NOT work. Instead: - Download and install the Windows 7 64 (!!) driver available here: ERICSSON AB Dell Wireless 5560 HSPA+ Mini Card Driver. Although this is a Windows 7 driver and not associated with Windows 8 this is the only driver which works in Windows 8, too. - Copy and install the WWAN application coming along with your Driver CD. Yes, CD! I was NOT able to find a working application for Windows 8 anywhere on Dell's crappy driver web site. The application shows up when manually selecting Windows 7 on the autostart program on the driver CD. The associated file name is R22MRA00.exe With both, driver and application, installed, WWAN/UMTS works well on Windows 8. Dell, update your web page! You drove me crazy when trying to find a solution! Andreas
Good morning, I installed a clean Windows 8 Pro on my Vostro 3460 (HD was wiped beforhand). However, for the HSPA component driver is not found. Here is what I did: - I can confirm that the HSPA component is activated in BIOS. Actually, it worked just fine running Windows 7 until yesterday. - After a clean Win8 install the missing component is enlisted as "DW5560" in the device list. - Installing the "Dell Wireless 5560 HSPA Mini Card" driver from your website (F54FJ_A00_setup_ZPE.exe and Comm_Driver_F54FJ_WN_8.0.5.3_A00.EXE) did change the device to be detected as "Dell Wirless 5560 HSPA+ Mobile Broadband Mini-Card Network Adapter". However, the device is still missing a driver and thus not working. - I tried to install the devices coming with the driver CD for Windows 7. No change.  Please help, I am going to need WWAN connection as I am going on a business trip on friday. Andreas
