DW1501
Hello,
My computer is a Latitude E6520, OS WIN XP SP2.
I try to install the driver NIC_DRVR_WIN_A36_R261121 for my DW1501 wifi card but it tells me "No compatible hardware found. The software you are attempting to install is not supported on this system."
I cannot get wifi... Could you help me please?
Thank you

Knossos,
Installing the drivers in the exact order should help. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order
Download and install in this exact order...
Dell Notebook System Software Utility
Intel Mobile Chipset, v.8.0.0.1009, A10
Then go to Dell Warranty Status enter your service tag, click on original configuration. Look and see which wireless adapter is installed. Then go to Drivers & Downloads enter your service tag, select your operating system, under network, download and install the drivers for your adapter.
Download and install Dell QuickSet Application
Places to look to see if your Connection is enabled

Rick,
I have installed the drivers in the order listed on the "How to download and install drivers in the correct order" page.
However, this page says "Dell Latitude E-Series and Precision laptop models have a different install order. For more information, see theLatitude E-Family and Mobile Precision reimage guide." but the link is broken.
Anyway, I have tried to install the Dell Notebook system software utility but it tells me "Setup cannot run on this machine".
Intel mobile chipset installs ok.
This is my original configuration:
In drivers and downloads, under network, I only have 2 drivers proposed:
- Intel 825xx 10/100/1000 Ethernet Controller Driver
- Dell Wireless 375 Bluetooth Module Driver
I have installed those 2 drivers but I still don't have wifi
I cannot find the driver of my wifi card for XP
I know my connection is enabled because the LED is on.

Knossos,
If you have the drivers disk that came with the system, I would try the Notebook system utility, then the \chipset drivers. The combination of these two drivers know what is attached to your system.
You can find all the drivers at...
http://ftp.dell.com/published/Pages/latitude-e6520.html
Not sure if there is a difference, since you have a French System.
Dell System Software Utility
Dell E-Family How-To Reimage User Guide is where it was trying to redirect you to.
Manual is located HERE.
