******SUCCESS********

ok, not an easy process, but it works

I had to use a Windows computer to load a usb version of windows onto a
usb drive (WinToUSB app on windows computer, I had zero luck using a
VM)..I have a company-mate who used a separate harddrive, installed
windows and that worked as well.

After I booted into Windows (usb for me, separate harddrive for buddy),
downloaded latest drivers from Dell for Precision 7510
(http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=Y13VJ
as of today)

Ran hardware flash, let it finish...MOST IMPORTANT, reboot back into
windows (it finished something after the reboot...first time I did not
do this, device disappeared completely from linux, but I booted back to
windows, installer popped up for second, now it works)

You will also need libccid 1.4.26-1


Good luck

Short version:
1. Boot to windows 
2. Download and run 
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=Y13VJ
3. Reboot to windows
4. Boot to Ubuntu, ensure libccid 1.4.26-1
5. pcsc_scan shows device, insert card, see it work :D
