Unfortunately, I do not see where this system was shipped with the Qualcomm Atheros Network Card. Click the link below to add your system service tag and let the site detect your drivers for the installed hardware.

SUBASH BASKARAN,
Qualcom makes some Dell network cards. For the correct drivers for your computer add your service tag to the link in the link provided and you will be shown the drivers needed for your computer.

Click the link to view the network and wireless adapter drivers for this computer. These are the only ones there are for your computer. If you do not know which ones to install,Add your system service tag or click on DETECT DRIVERS on the site.

Found this driver which is even newer:
http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER03438508M/1/Network_Driver_D60YN_WN32_10.0.0.328_A01.EXE
The driver is for the wireless card. It has been reported to install on other systems with this wireless card.
