    Hi Guys,
    Anybody knows where I can find drivers for my wireless card?

    The model number is:

    1 WX781 Card, Wireless, Minicard, DW1395 4312BG

    I have tried everywhere to look for drivers. I have found several drivers but when I try to install them, I get an error message midway "Error Update.cpp 455 and setup cannot continue"

    Can anybody please help?

    Thanks.

    You can find all of the Dell Inspiron 1520 drivers at the Dell support website.

    I did try to install them from the Dell website but got that error. Am I doing something wrong?

    Make sure your older drivers are fully uninstalled

    Mare sure that your using the correct drivers as there may well be drivers for other branded cards on the download page for your laptop..

    Look on the bottom of your laptop - use the Dell system code to look up your drivers. If you do that, I believe only drivers for your particular laptop will show up.

    I googled for your error message, and guess what? Back in 2008 somone posted a fix on this very forum that worked for them:
