Thanks, I will try that driver for the smart card. I already have the ethernet and wireless working, could it be the bluetooth? Strange that i wasnt able to find these drivers. Your help is appreciated.
Tried the driver and that was a no go. The Ricoh is for the SD card reader not the smart card reader. Thanks anyways. Oh, and yes I installed the system software and the chipset drivers. I installed all of the drivers available in the download section and in the proper order.
If it helps, the hardware ID of the Broadcom USH device as shown in device manager is USB\Vid_0a5c&Pid_5800&Rev_0101&MI_00, the smart card is the same.

I'm also searching for Broadcom USH driver on the E6400. I'm liking the E series except for the cheap paint that is already chipping off on the sides :(
I had the same problem, finally today I found the driver, it is R194881 located under Applications\Dell-Driver. After I ran the setup the system recognized the driver and it was called "Broadcom USH CV w/o Fingerprint Sensor" under Credencial Vault Device. I hope it can help you.
i was just being a fool for not trying out the vista drivers. Well at least they worked. One device got installed. the otherone has changed from icon :)
at least somthing. Dell support is figuring out what driver is used in the XP image. So lets wait on their answer.
Having same issue as well on E6400. Cannot use the Smart Card reader using a known good smart card.
Installed the R194881, no go. According to my research, I'm suppose to install the Ricoh R5C8xx Cardbus Controler, but that doesn't work either. My organization doesn't allow vendor supplied security certificates, so I don't have the Manager Application installed. Also, if I attach an external Smart Card reader then I can use the internal reader just fine.
Do I need to have the Manager App installed to use the reader?
Also, why would it all of a sudden work if I attach an external Smart Card reader?
I have an E6400 and was also having the same issues with the card reader. My solution was probably not the best, but it was effective as it got my card reader working correctly. In device manager there should be 2 listings for the reader. One should be under " IDE ATA ATAPI Controllers" which is the Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller", this driver is correct and works fine. The problem is under " Secure Digital Host Controller" which is a standard SD Card Reader Controller from 2002 that came with service pack 2. For those users still having trouble getting there card reader to work here are a few steps that will fix the problem.
1. right click on "My Computer" then click "Manage" then click on "Device Manager" on the left of the window.
2. click the + symbol next to "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers", "Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller" should be listed there, right click on this then go to properties. Click the Driver tab at the top and click the "Driver Details" button, this will show you where the driver file is located. Should be C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\rimmptsk.sys.
3. Locate this file in the windows directory and copy/paste it to your desktop, rename the file "sdbus" and place the file back in the above directory. It will ask if you want to overewrite, choose "yes".
After completing these steps restart your computer, and place your SD card in the reader and it will read and show in "My Computer". Keep in mind this is just a work around for the card reader.

Did you install the Dell notebook system software and the chipset driver?
this is the card reader driver:

Which Broadcom driver you need depends on whether it's wired or wireless and if wireless, which model card you have.

Hello rlarocque,
I've solved the problem by installing the "R194881.exe" file pack.
Please click this link : to find the driver.
Have a nice day.
Best regards.
