I just tried loading that driver twice and received the same result both times. It unzips the driver, starts loading, then a window pops up saying that the hardware is not present, and then it aborts the installation.  When I install the device, it shows a new network card is present in the hardware manager, but thats it. Any ideas?

Try physically reseating the card in the MiniPCI slot.

I had the same problem, I bought a card from ebay for my daughter's Latitude C610. After spending half this morning trying to find a suitable driver on the Dell site, I went back to ebay, and found a link to drivers that do actually work with the TrueMobile 1300 PCMCIA. Hope this helps, and here is the link.

Patman, did that driver help you or not?

no luck yet.  I have chatted with several people that have had the same configuration on a c610, but they no longer have the card or the drivers but tell me it will work. I am yet to find a driver that will "see" the 1370 mini pci card, and cannot get XP to see the card as anything other than an unknown network card. Still checking online but it doesnt look promising.

I replaced the 802.11B in a few Latitude C series laptops and had the same problem.
 
If you edit the setup.ini file in the directory you extraced the drivers to and remove the line that says PLATFORM_SELECTOR=dellinst.exe
 
The setup should install fine.
 
Hope this helps
 
Thanks,
