If you open Device Manager and expand the listing for Network Adapters, is there a wireless network adapter listed there?

If you have a wireless adapter physically installed, you need to tell me if it is the Dell wireless adapter or the Intel wireless adapter.  With that information, I can point you to the correct drivers.

After reformatting and reinstalling Windows, the drivers need to be installed in a specific order --
 
 
All drivers for your system can be downloaded from the following site:

Did you install the chipset drivers before even attempting to install any other device drivers.  This is most important, as Windows will not be able to recognize nor install drivers for many other devices unless the chipset drivers are installed first!!

There is only one chipset driver for your system - the Intel Mobil Chipset drivers:
 
 
You can try installing the chipset drivers now and then try installing the other drivers, but that often does not work and the only solution is a reformat and reinstallation of Windows followed by installing the drivers in the correct order.
