    I am using Dell INSPIRON 510m and just installed the Windows XP Prof. with SP2. I installed all the drivers (Downloaded from the internet). the problem is that I am not able to install the wireless and bluetooth drivers. It's showing in the device manager that ther is problem with network controller (knowing that the network card (LAN) is working properly).

    Any Idea where I can find the driver for the wireless network?? I downloaded all the drivers (14 drivers) from the dell site, but none of them is working.

    Can anybody help?
    Thanks
    Ali

    What wireless card is it? It needs to be set up in the software associated with the wireless card. There should be an icon in the system tray. Try right clicking it and see if there is an option to turn it on.

    If the drivers aren't properly installed, there should be no icon. (S)he'll likely need to get a PCI device identifier program.
