Where do I find exact drivers for my system
I have a 2 year old Insprion 8600 and the hard drive blew. Got a new hard drive, no problem. Re-installed Windows XP Pro, no problem. Problem is, now the system doesn't recognize my Wireless or ethernet adapters. Because of this I can't even connect to the internet to download drivers. Also, I don't know which drivers to download even if I could. How do I get drivers for my system and how do I know what kind of wireless and ethernet adapters I have in my system?
I've searched all over the Dell site and I can find plenty of drivers. I even found the system configuration for my laptop. However, it does not give the specific manufacturer or model number of my wireless or ethernet adapters.
Help, please,
David

Ethernet driver:
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&releaseid=R86360&SystemID=INS_PNT_P4M_8600&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=2966&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=2&catid=5&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=5&fileid=113177
The wireless driver, if not listed under Original Configuration, can be determined from the part number on the card, which is easily accessible under a door at the bottom of the system.
