thanks, that seems to have worked.
That's why I use a Mac - patched, unlisted drivers and patches.
My favorite quote from the link you gave me: "1. You will not be able to
find this patch under the Driver downloads for Dell XPS 1330."

So how are people supposed to find these drivers?

you had to install the driver before the necessity of this patch was
even in question. after getting the driver installed you then
encountered the fn+f2 message about activation for which there are
several articles on support.dell.com regarding the solution. the
problem is related to the state that the card was in prior to
installation and is a result of switching operating systems. if it was
a new card or you happened to use the same os that the previous owner
did then you would not had the need for the patch, but you still would
have had to first install the driver that you had trouble finding.
perhaps buying on ebay isn't the best way to go when you are unfamiliar
with a product.
