Hi,

My wireless stopped working and when I went to Dell Wireless WLAN Card utility and ran diagnosis. I get the following failure.

"The WLAN IEEE 802.11 wireless networking hareware is not functioning properly.Please contact your hardware provider."

I tried Fn+F2 and does not work (WIFI led is off and does not get on). I don't see the wireless any more under the Network Connections.

I'm guessing that this is a hardware failure. Is there anything can do before buying a new network card?

Any help would be appreciated.

My Laptop: INSPIRON E1505 with Vista.

Thanks,

Sam
