Wireless Internet Missing
Hey all
I bought a used Alienware Aurora and I did a clean windows install. I installed all the drivers through my serial code but I still can't seem to find out how to get my wireless internet up. In my device manager under network adapters I have tree items: (1) Blue tooth Device (Perxonal Area Network) (2) Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) and (3) Broadcom Netlink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet. It says my drivers for all three are up to date. I assumed the thrid on the list was my wifi card but seeing as I didn't buy the machine new there is a chance it might not have wireless capabilties. I find that odd, but I wanted to run it by the forums to see if there was anything I was just plain missing.
Thanks for the help.

The 2 BlueTooth are, you guessed it ... for BlueTooth (not WiFi).
Broadcom Gigabit is the real ethernet cable port (wired).

Drivers are here:
en.community.dell.com/.../19451814.aspx
If nothing is !-Yellow in Device Manager, all drivers are loaded.
What makes you think our Aurora has WiFi (they usually don't).
A real ethernet cable is better anyway (just saying).
