That's a windows driver. From the README.TXT inside it: This WinXP nForce (MCP55) driver package consists of the following components:
SMBUS Driver (v4.57) "WHQL" Installer (v5.05) Now let's assume this driver update flashes microcode in some chip under windows so that it fixes the issue under all OS's, but if you read farther down the page one guy did try this but it failed: jbquenot says: "Does it solve your problem on Linux too? I was advised to install this driver from the Dell support, but the mouse still freezes on Linux, so I guess the recommended update is a Windows-specific driver update, not a firmware update." Then on page 5 the same guy donnyr3 says: "The driver I downloaded from Dell's web site is Windows specific, and only solves the mouse problem under Windows, not Linux." Another guy NRios claims 2.6.18.2 fixes it but I tried that kernel and I still have the same problem. Others have tried newer kernels with the same results.
