How to download driver for laptop that can't get online?

The driver that enables my Dell Studio 1535 to go online stopped working.  (A tech-savvy co-worker figured that out at least for me.)  How do I download the driver I need on one computer to get it to go on the other computer that can't go online?  (to GET the driver that it NEEDS to go online??????)  HELP!!

It appears you have another method to get online, so simply download the driver, store it on a flash drive, and take it to the needy computer for installation. Or have your tech savvy friend do it for you...

Generally, however, drivers don't just stop working. Corruption happens sometimes, but if that is the case, I'd be curious as to the root cause so as to avoid having it happen again.  

Also, the 1535 has two ways to get online... The woreless connection and a wired LAN port. They use different drivers. Have you tried both wireless and wired connections? Do they both not work?

Good luck.
