manoj1234,
Did you do anything recently, like re-install the operating system?
Did this connect before?
Can you connect in the safe mode with networking?

manoj1234,
Some have a switch and some, you press Fn and F2 at the same time to turn the wireless card on.
What do you see in the devcie manager?

HI,
noithing changes in the device manager the broadcom integrator controller is seen as installed under network adapters but still after i press the fn and f2 key there is no dell wireless adapter showing. PRESSING THE KEYS FN ADN F2 OR THE WIRELESS SWITCH MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO DEVICE MANAGER

manoj1234,
The Desktop/Notebook Utility needs to be installed first(if applicable), then the chipset drivers. If they are NOT installed first, then the rest of the drivers will fail to install.
How to Install Drivers in Microsoft® Windows® on Dell Systems
Since the operating system was re-installed did you remember to go to drivers and downloads, enter your service tag(DO NOT POST SERVICE TAG here or your post will get deleted, since it contains your personal information), and install these drivers in this order.
:emotion-55: Hint :emotion-55: When downloading the drivers, make a folder for each drivers and name it with the device it belongs with to make it easier to install them in the proper order.
