    Can you elaborate on what you mean exactly by "can't find my wireless card"?  Any error icon in your Device Manager?

    It is awfully difficult understanding your message.   When you say your computer crashed, exactly what happened?  Did you have to reinstall Windows?   Does the wireless network card show up in Device Manager with no problems reported?  Which wireless network card is physically installed in your computer?

    You need to answer all of my questions and make an attempt to write in real English so I can understand what you are saying. Which wireless network card is physically installed in your computer?

    Assuming that you reside in the U.S. the drivers for that wireless network adapter can be download from:

    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&releaseid=R102320&SystemID=INS_PNT_P4_1150&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=8041&devlib=0&typecnt=1&vercnt=4&formatcnt=1&fileid=132284

    Download the file, transfer it to the Inspiron 1150, then run the file.  It should decompress the file to a folder on the hard drive, then automatically run the driver installation file.

    You say "ok it worked this time cool but now how do i know if it works?"  What are the 'it"s in this sentence - i.e. what worked this time?  What is that it that you want to know about in relation to it working?
