    Ok so after messing up my laptop with multiple installations of windows i did the Media direct total HDD wipe and installed XP again and some/most of the driver's following the website's direction.

    I have the modem and LAN network drivers installed and am typing this on my laptop on a wired connection. MY problem is, how do i install the wireless'/any other network drivers? they dont appear to be on the Driver disc.

    I dont know what card i have (doesnt show up in Device Manager) but i think i have the stock wireless card 1520's ship with, whatever that is.

    any help would be much appreciated
