MIssing my network controller driver after re-installed windows 7

Thanks for your help & suggestions. I did what you mentioned in the above post, but I`m still at the same stage as I was before with no web connection. I installed both service packs, the Dell System Software & then the Intel Chipset drivers but nothing changed. Please excuse me as I am not that great when it comes to computers, I know a little but that`s pretty much it. Any other suggestions???

I think I may have fixed the issue, I just DL`d then installed this Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN MiniCard, v.4.170.77.3 (Driver); 4.170.77.13 (Application), A20

THANKS AGAIN! If I still have problems with the web connect I will be back, hopefully not though :emotion-5:

That's the correct driver :emotion-21:. 

Yes sir! Thanks again for putting me on the right track it`s extremely appreciated!!!

Also you need the video drivers but there are variants specify the hardware IDs under Display Adapters.

Thank you so much for the response.  I forgot to mention that it was Vista 32 bit.  Does that change what I need to instal.

You indicated that I need to install two items for Dell System Windows Vista.  One link was for 62 bit and the other 32 bit.   Do I intall both or is it one or the other depending on the Vista I installed.

I will get back to you with the Video Drivers. 

Thank you again,

Ignore the 64 Bit version of DSS and the drivers I have marked as 64 Bit. Most of the installers cover both the 32 Bit and 32 Bit architecture so I haven't mentioned 32 Bit or 64 Bit for these.

You have missed a C; it should be PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&SUBSYS_0203168C The Vendor is Atheros it is a AR9280 otherwise known as a Dell Wireless 1525 WLAN card. The latest Dell Driver I can find for it is for Windows 7 32/64 Bit: http://ftp.dell.com/network/R290807.exe - version 8.0.0.376 A later driver is found in the Unoffiicial Atheros website: http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-drivers.php Installation of the later driver has to be done via the Device Manager.

I found newer Dell specific drivers for PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&SUBSYS_0203168C:

DW1502_Dell_W7_A02_Setup-9DTVV_ZPE.exe (Dell Wireless 1502 LAN driver version 9.2.0.517 for 32bit/64bit Win7; but also supports the DW1525 card)

Network_Driver_TKPT6_WN_10.0.0.227_A01.EXE (Dell WiFi / Bluetooth Driver - DW1601 version 10.0.0.227 for 32bit/64bit Win7; also worked with the DW1525 card)

try installing either one as I'm currently using version 9.2.0.517 for the DW1525 WLAN card on my family's Dell Inspiron 620 desktop computer.
