Dell 1397 Wireless Drivers with sysprep
I am adding drivers for the 1397 wireless network adapter since there was a mis-order (Normally order Intel) and the driver installs with
bcmwl5.inf
bcmwl5.sys
bcmwl564.sys
bcm43xx.cat
bcm43xx64.cat
but the device installs and returns "Windows cannot load this device due to corrupted or missing drivers (code 39)." I have re-downloaded the newest drivers from dell with the same results. All other devices for this model install correctly with sysprep. If you are curious, this is on a M4400 laptop. Any clues?

Am I correct that this is for a clean install? I'm showing the full list of drivers for the Precision M4400 is:
If the Dell Notebook System Software isn't being installed that might be the problem.

Well, I'm not quite sure I'm at the right place but I spend a day searching for a driver for my Insp 1545. I bought it w/o OS and installed XP prof. I managed to install every driver except for the wifi connection. I tried the official site and yes I chose XP but useless.
Pls help me!

roboci,
The Desktop/Notebook Utility needs to be installed first, then the chipset drivers. If they are NOT installed first, then the rest of the drivers will fail to install.
How to Install Drivers in Microsoft® Windows® on Dell Systems
Since the operating system was re-installed did you remember to go to drivers and downloads, enter your service tag(DO NOT POST SERVICE TAG here or your post will get deleted, since it contains your personal information), and install these drivers in this order.
:emotion-55: Hint :emotion-55: When downloading the drivers, make a folder for each drivers and name it with the device it belongs with to make it easier to install them in the proper order.
Desktop System Software or Notebook System Software
Chipset or SMBus driver
Processor Driver (if applicable)
Video
Audio (sound)
Input Drivers (keyboard/mouse)
Modem
Network Card
QuickSet(Laptop only)

Dear Rick,
Thank you for the hint, it is true that I was lazy to read about the proper order.
Now I installed the Utility than ran the setup of the chipset driver again.
There are two recommended drivers for wifi from DELL. First I tried R202361. It went through the install process without error. Nothing changed though, No sign of a wifi network access possibility. Then I tried R201509. The setup stops with an error message saying the device was not connected or had been diconnected, re-insert the card.
Moreover I checked the ID of the wifi card which is Dell 1397, but these drivers are for 1515 and 5100.
Any other idea?
Thx.

Rob,
Dell Wireless WLAN 1397 Half MiniCard (4312bg) but I see these are for Vista 32-bit & 64-bit. Dell has them for other models, so it maybe possible to locate one that will work in your computer with XP. I saw another post and they tried the drivers from here.
They may or may not work on XP. If not, then you can try finding one from here.
