DELL recently released a fix on their Inspiron Mini 1010 systems having problems finding their DW700 GPS Mini-Card in device manager.



As per DELL engineering, the card registers as "
CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller" in device manager. Installing the driver changes the device entry.

To fix this, download and install the latest
A01 GPS Card drivers (R217979.exe) from Dell Support.
