    Hello, I am converting my M1210 from Vista to XP Pro. However I am running into one nagging problem. I cannot seem to get, find or install my Wireless Card drivers. All other drivers function properly, except the wireless card. I have tried all of the network drivers, and I only get back error messages. B4 the format, Vista Identified my wireless as a Broadcom Wireless. Even after installing the Broadcom driver I get no wireless options. A little help from those who have done this conversion would be appreciated.

    Anyone? I have re-formated again, and the internet works but again wi-fi does not.

    Which wireless card did you get? Make sure you are downloading the driver from Dell that is specifically for XP.

    Chances are, you will have to install the driver manually from Device Manager. Then you specify the location for the ini file of the driver.

    I am using Intel Wireless N, I have no issues by manually installing the driver.
