If you just upgraded to Windows 7, you should have installed the NSS and chipset drivers first.

there are drivers called intel centrino xxx in support.dell.com drivers page..at first i was saw them ; i dont care because of my cpu is i3 series.. today some 'great' man came with a new wireless card from dell support in my city. and he told that your wireless card is centrino 1030. then i shocked and laughed :) he downloaded that and gone..

i am laughin' to myself.. because i am a computer user for 15 years and working in a company as IT MAN..

anyway ; i love DELL

thank you
