    I'm running Server 2008 x64 on my Inspiron 1520 for classes (hyper - v) and 4gb of memory (ftw).

    Anyway, I installed the drivers for the Intel 3945 card. The wifi light lights up and it shows up in Control Panel as working.

    Now the problem I have is I can't seem to get any software on the thing so I can actaully connect to a wireless network - like Wireless Zero Config.

    I'm guessing Wireless Zero Config isn't built into Server 2008 (servers aren't usually wireless haha)

    So any suggestions to get wireless working on this thing?

    It's not really a necessity, but I use the wired NIC in this laptop to connect to a lab environment and use the WLAN to connect to the internet for articles and such.
