I discovered the issue, basically it's Dell's fault. I have expressed my displeasure on my blog here if you're interested. :emotion-12:
Hi,   I have reinstalled my INSPIRON mini 10 1012 with Windows 7 Enterprise (as opposed to the bloated version of Windows 7 Starter it came with) and have installed all relevant drivers and have nothing showing as uninstalled within device manager. My problem however is that the Dell Mobile Broadband Manager says "Device not found" and so does the Novatell Wireless software which is also installed. There is a valid SIM in the netbook, but it doesnt seem to recognise the devices existence. Can anyone help me????
Reloaded my INSPIRONmini 1012, now no GPS or Wireless Broadband
