wireless card 1430 and inspiron B130
I bought a Inspiron B130 for my girlfriend who is overseas and forgot to have a wireless card installed with it when I bought it. I then went and bought a internal wireless card 1430, but when her network people installed it they are telling me that the computer will not recognize the card. Does this card work with this laptop or did they miss something when they installed it?

B130s sold without an internal wireless network adapter do not have the internal antenna wires installed. Installing the antenna requires nearly complete disassembly of the computer and is not recommended. The best option at present is to get a USB wireless network adapter.

Thanks for posting about installing the wireless card on the B120. I would also like to do the same. However, can you confirm that the antenna came with the wireless card? I ask only because it does not describe on the website what comes with the card. Also, i called Dell and the sales rep was not sure.
Also, does it come with instructions to install the antenna?
Thanks in advance.
