Network drivers
Hi there,
There are 7 drivers listed in the Network category on my laptop's drivers page: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/inspiron-15-intel-n5050.
I am somewhat confused by the fact that some of them have very similar descriptions and were posted in the same day.
Which ones should I install?
Thanks!

Hi adennlp,
I am assuming that you are looking for the wireless driver for your system. Also, please open "Device Manager" and let me know if any other driver is missing. The following link has the steps to check the missing drivers:-
1. Click on "Start" and type in the search box “Device Manager ".
2. Click on “Device Manager “from the search list.
Please check if any driver listed has the yellow exclamation mark.
I have sent you a private message, please respond with the Service Tag; I would check the compatible driver for your system.
Do write back for any additional queries.

I'm looking for the network drivers that are required for my laptop to function appropriately, not only the wireless driver.
There are no exclamation marks in the device manager.
I haven't received any private message from you.

You will need the Realtek Ethernet Driver and the Wireless Card Driver (which has several variants).
Go to www.dell.com > go to support and select > system configuration
Next select original system configuration and enter your service tag
Provide us the details of your original system configuration (omitting your service tag and express service tag).

Hi natakuc4,
Here's the information from the original system configuration page:

Usually the system configuration gives some hint to the wireless card and graphics card, it seems like in your case there is no hint at all.
I guess you should download them all. The ones that don't work will fail to install and the one that you have will install through to the end.
Not an ideal solution but probably the fastest one to implement.
