1350 Card trouble and Dell WLAN Card Utility won't launch
Hello,
We have a one issue that seems to be
narrowed down to 2 different sources.
I'm on my Aunt's machine, Inspiron 1150.
With a Wireless 1350 WLAN MiniPCI Card
with driver(?)version 4.10.47.3 in
Add and Remove Programs, but the
System Properties says 4.10.40.0
from 11-2-2005.
We have a Comcast cable connection,
and use a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router.
Would the R140747.EXE 52 MB
Release Date: 11/15/2006
update work on this machine, the 1150 is
not listed in the compatibility list?
The machine will see our wireless network,
but a WiFi connection cannot be established.
The Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility will NOT
launch from the Start menu or the System tray.
How do I uninstall, and reinstall,
or restore the Utility, etc?
I just cleaned cleared the machine of spyware
and a couple of viruses.
Perhaps I damaged it myself, I don't know.
Thanks,
CM

Does anyone have any other insights about that?
Thanks,

The warranty is passed, the laptop is over a year old.
Otherwise I'd say that would be a good idea.
As far as I know the 1350 card was working before.
And I'm pretty sure the Utility application worked before.
Thanks,

I've got kinda turned around and confused
about which order I should do this.
So to spell it out, I should:
1) uninstall the driver via Add/Remove
2) then re-install this updated driver
R115321.EXE 48 MB
Release Date: 6/23/2006
3) Then
what do I do if the
Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility
still doesn't work?
Or if the machine sees the available
wifi network, but still cannot connect
to it?
I know this is kinda basic,
but I've tried a lot of things already,
(now I see how mistakenly so)
I just want to be as clear as possible
to not have to spend more hours on it.
Thanks again,
CM
