Based on your model number there is a Touch version only. And based on your vendor ID details, I can see that its Atheros adapter.

Hi hroohani,
Download the Dell driver: ftp.dell.com/.../Network_Driver_540F3_WN_15.03.1000.1637_A03.EXE
This is the driver for your Intel Centrino 6205 Wireless card.
Please do not post the service tag in a Public forum. Provide it in a private conversation only to a Dell employee.

Hi Nilesh,
Based on your model number there is a Touch version only. And based on your vendor ID details, I can see that its Atheros adapter. But your system would have been shipped with either Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n or Dell Wireless 1704 802.11b/g/n as per support site. Did you make any hardware or software changes?
