1505 Wireless Card in Dim E310 XP Pro SP3

I removed my 1505 Wireless Card from my Studio XPS 9000 and want to put it in my Dim E310 running XP Pro SP3. However, I can't seem to find a driver that will work.

Any suggestions? 

Thanks.

I tried it, but got an error "No compatible hardware found. The software you are attempting to install is not supported in this system. The software will not be installed." 

 

Not sure how much it matters, but under the compatible systems, the link only had Laptops. I am trying to install a PCI-Express card into a Desktop.

 

Thanks.

You're probably mistaken on the model # of the PCI-E card. I can't find such a model.

Here is the driver from the XPS Studio 9000 driver page:

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/format.aspx?c=us&cs=22&l=en&s=dfh&deviceid=14724&libid=5&releaseid=R205375&vercnt=1&formatcnt=0&SystemID=STUDIOXPS435T&servicetag=&os=WV64&osl=en&catid=-1&dateid=-1&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&impid=-1&checkFormat=true

It calls it "Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card Desktops". 

Now I am trying to figure out how to get the driver onto the E310.

That looks like what I have. The thing that bothers me is looking at the "compatibility" button on the right hand side. There aren't very many systems that this is compatible with. I bet Dell did not create a driver for the E310. I may just go to Fry's and pick up a more "generic" wireless card...

Drivers are generally written for OS not for a specific system, but who knows?
