I've installed all my divers in the correct order, I've even done a fresh windows install, tried the drivers from the intel website, tried removing the card and reseating it. Still, my wifi card states that it's unable to start in the device manager. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I hate the stinking cord
GiODi.... its absolutely must that you install the shipset driver first after you re-install windows.... if this is not done please re-format and install chipset driver first and then video driver and then audio and then nic and then wireless drivers... after you do this log on to support.dell.com and update the latest driver for your wireless card...
Sorry to hear you're having problems. I hated my intel NIC until I got it all configured, now I use Intel's proSet features weekly. Hope this post helps:
1. I assume you're using intel proset 10.5 to try to start the card instead of windows networking. If not please see the following docs:
Yeah, I tried that. I really appreciate the help. The problem is that niether the Intel ProSet or Window's network connection manager even list my card because it's not started. I have used the detection utility to make sure i do infact have the 2100. I can see it in the Device Manager (with the yellow "!" because it's not started). I've also check the bios setting to make sure that it's enabled and all that good stuff. I'm thinking the device is defective. Unless someone's got any other solutions. Should I replace it with an upgrade intel mini pci or should i switch to one of the dell true mobile devices
