Hi,

Can you post the hardware ID of the one listed with question mark?

In Intel Wifi you dont have 1501 you have only Dell WLAN 1501.

post your system model and operating system.

Dell WLAN 1501 - http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/in/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=CXW91

I tried installing the network controller driver but it says its not compatible hardware found&its not supported on the system??? What do I do help&dont have network adapter driver ??

I solve this problem with this file: Network_Driver_G9X9G_WN_WLAN_10.0.0.59_A04

pci\ven_168&dev_002a&subsys_0203168c&rev_01\4&5157cef&0&0048

You have missed a C; it should be PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&SUBSYS_0203168C

The Vendor is Atheros it is a AR9280 otherwise known as a Dell Wireless 1525 WLAN card.

The latest Dell Driver I can find for it is for Windows 7 32/64 Bit:

http://ftp.dell.com/network/R290807.exe - version 8.0.0.376

A later driver is found in the Unoffiicial Atheros website:

http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-drivers.php

Installation of the later driver has to be done via the Device Manager.

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue, My network controller driver is missing and it has a yellow exclamation in the device manager. Following your suggestions, I checked on the device Instance ID - VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727.

It is a DELL INSPIRON N5010 with Windows 7 Home Premium.

Can you let me know how to resolve this?

Thanks.

Should be the Dell Wireless 1501 or 1520 card on the Inspiron N5010 model.

The hardware ID for the 1501 card should be:

PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_00101028&REV_01

So install this driver:

Driver 7×86, 7×64: http://ftp.dell.com/network/R302627.exe 5.100.82.34

Thanks natakuc4. 

I installed Dell Wireless 1501 card and I am able to see the network driver.  However I am not able to connect to the internet. The error shows Diagnostics Service policy is not running. When I try to start the Diagnostic Service Policy, it says 'Windows could not start the diagnostic policy service on Local COmputer. Error 5: Access is denied.' Also, the Diagnostic Service Host and Diagnostic System Host are also not started. The start option is greyed(disabled) on both.
