Hi gilbertooo,

Your computer is shipped with Dell Wireless 1397 card. You may download the driver for your computer from link: http://dell.to/10VHoOd

@ Khow123: You need to install the wireless driver for your computer. For unknown device, you may try installing the ST Microelectronics driver from link: http://dell.to/17ZL3Bc 

To install the correct driver for your wireless card, you need to check the wireless card shipped with your computer from system configuration webpage. You can click on the link: http://dell.to/137Ex95 > Enter the service tag > Under 'Original system configuration' Tab check wireless card shipped with your computer and install the appropriate driver. 

In case the issue persists, you may provide me the hardware ID of the device for which driver needs to be re-installed. You may access the hardware ID by following the steps below:

Open Device manager --> Right click on the device with yellow exclamation or red cross -- > Properties -- > Then select 'Details' tab. Select Hardware ID by expanding the Device description Drop down menu. 

@ jnwosu36: I have a limited knowledge about the third party system manufacturers. If you get a yellow exclamation mark in 'Device manager' on Network controller (wireless) and Display adapter (Video card), you might need to re-install drivers for same. You may install drivers for same from the system manufacturer's website. 

Please reply for further clarifications.

I have an Inspiron N5030 and just replaced the hard drive.  I didn't have any of the original disks so I ran the Dell recovery and restore USB key.  Now my computer won't connect to wireless router.  I have windows 7.  Checking the device manager, I have 2 issues.  One is mobile intel (R) 45 express chipset family and the other is network controller.  I probably need downloads for these but can't figure out how to get them to my computer that can't connect to the internet.  Need help!

Hi gilbertooo,

VEN 14E4 and  DEV 4315 is for the wireless card installed on your computer.

VEN 8086 and DEV 2930 is for the chipset drivers. 

Did you try installing the drivers from the previous reply? If yes, do you get any error message?

@ peterson9934: Usually Dell computers are shipped with a Drivers and utilities disc. You may install the drivers using that disc. In case you are not able to locate that disc, you may visit a public library or may use a friend's internet connection to download the relevant drivers for your computer. Once done, save the drivers on any USB storage device (like USB External hard drive or memory stick). Plug that USB storage device to your Inspiron computer and install the drivers by following onscreen instructions. 

You may download the chipset driver from link: http://dell.to/104zyTA

In reference to wireless drivers, Inspiron N5030 is shipped with the following WLAN cards:

• Atheros® AR9285 802.11 b/g/n WiFi card 
• Dell 1501 Wireless card

You may check the wireless card shipped with your computer from system configuration webpage, under 'Original system configuration' Tab. Here is the link: http://dell.to/137Ex95  Enter the service tag to access details.

Once you get to know the wireless card, you may install the appropriate driver from 'Drivers and Downloads' tab.

Hope this helps.
