If you have already (re)installed the latest driver for the system then it might be time to contact tech support for the problem.

I have an Inspiron1505 with this same card. It got to where it wouldn't connect after a reboot. What I had to do was rt click the network connection and disable the adapter then enable it and it would connect. The other day I got tired of messing with it after each reboot and uninstalled the adapter and used a usb one. Well I had to reinstall to free up the usb port and so far it been connecting after a reboot so you might try uninstalling it and then reinstall it and see if it might work. The driver I'm using is the R171132 one.
