Latitude D610 Wireless card driver

I have had to reinstall windows and now cannot get the built in  wireless to work. I have tried all the drivers I can find on the site but nothing works. I installed the dell driver. When I click it nothing happens. I am at a loss I have tired everything I can think of any thoughts?

Please provide what operating system that you are using and what wireless card is installed.

Not sure what adapter is installed:

Find your network adapter

This works with Windows Vista and Windows 7.
This does NOT work with Windows XP or earlier operating systems.
 
Copy the text between the lines and paste it to Notepad.
 


systeminfo >c:\systinfo.txt
c:\systinfo.txt

Save the file as systeminfo.cmd

Right click on the systeminfo.cmd and select Run as administrator and it will produce a system information log.
The system log should open up in Notepad.

Go to the bottom of the log.

Here is what mine looks like


Network Card(s):      2 NIC(s) Installed.
                                 [01]: Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller
                                 Connection Name: Local Area Connection
                                 Status:          Media disconnected
                                 [02]: DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card
                                 Connection Name: Wireless Network Connection
                                 DHCP Enabled:    Yes
                                 DHCP Server:     192.168.1.1
                                 IP address(es)
                                 [01]: 192.168.1.13
                                 [02]: fe80::8402:c514:c0c7:d7cd

Copy the network card section and paste it back here.

Sailvayu,

 

The Finding System Information Tool works for xp, just download and double click on it.

 

Did you install the notebook system utility and the chipset drivers first? If not, the rest of the drivers will fail to install. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order

Well just went through the whole thing again and get the same results after installing the dell wireless utility when i click on it nothing happens. I tried to follow the steps but not everything was as listed I could not find some of the listed drivers. Everything else seems to work other than the wireless and it was working before.
