Wireless warning that doesn't go away

I have an Inspiron 1420 laptop and a warning repeatedly comes up saying "Dell Wireless WLAN Card wireless Network controller has stopped working and was closed." After reading a forum, which I know can't find, I downloaded a driver and it stopped for about a week. It is reappearing again.

I checked Device Manager, and the Wireless WLAN Card appears to have activity, and I don't seem to have a problem connecting at home. I haven't tried elsewhere, but was unable to use my job's alltel card for wireless when out.

In Device manager, it has a yellow triangle, warning, next to the Microsoft ISATAP Adapter #4. It says the device is not working correctly. I've submitted it with the Microsoft "see if MS has a solution" but it does not give a suggestion.

Anyhow, looking for help on this issue. Honestly, after being on the phone with Dell customer support during one previous occassion for two days, I don't look forward to calling again so I am hoping for help through the forum.

Thanks

    I too have an Inspiron 1420 which I have had major issues/problems with.  In fact I have done two system exchanges so I am now on #3.  I too have had the same warning.  I just checked the Problem Reports and Solutions section and it appears that the computer has recorded 8 such incidents.  I would be interested in knowing how to fix that as well.  I refuse to call Dell's technical support line.
