Dell 1515 Wireless N Mini-Card
I have a Dell 1515 Wireless N Mini-Card installed in my laptop, well atleast thats what was in it when I first got my laptop. I was trying to restore my laptop to factory settings but the F8 Dell Factory Restore wasn't there. So I decided to use the windows discs but after I did that, everything was wiped off, all the software and the wifi connection was wiped off. It's not the way it was when I first got it and I don't know how to change it back. Everything else I could live without cause it else to get back but it's the wifi feature I'd really like back, I did the troubleshooter but it doesn't help at all. What do I do! I even tried the drivers and what not and none of that worked. Do I have to send it back to dell to restore is back to the way when I first bought it?

I tried both and none worked. Dell Factory Restore Image thingy isn't an option for me. I don't know what to do, should I send it back and let dell restore my software and to the way it was when I first got it?

thank you, pudgyone helping me the other day,
and I had a similar problem with him.
and realized that once I reinstall mannually, I cannot use 'dell factory image restore', and 'system restore' is not effective either.
but I am still curious why the wireless function is not working any more even though there is network drivers on resources DVD installed.
I asked about it in a seperate posting. could you or anyone else can help me?

Did you fix it yet? I recently did a hard drive swap and needed to find the wireless driver. i found the driver on the dell site by searching for the 8.0.0.239 driver for 1515 wireless n. Works with windows 7 64 bit.
