What is "1394 Net Adapter"?

​I have an Inspiron 6400.​

​I have successfully downgraded from Vista to XP​

​Each time I log in, I get a message in the system tray, "Driver not installed".​

​The driver is "Intel PROSET Wireless".​

​I downloaded all recommended drivers for my Service Tag. I followed the recommended sequence of driver installation.​

​The list of recommended drivers does not mention "Intel PROSET Wireless"​

​In Device Manager, there are no yellow marks.​

​In Network adapters, there are three items shown:​

​ - 1394 Net Adapter​
​ - Broadcom Integrated Controller​
​ - Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN MiniCard​

​The last two items are in the recommended driver list for my Service Tag.​

​I've tried uninstalling "1394 Net Adapter". At the next reboot, it re-installs itself.​

​I would be grateful for any advice.​

1394 is firewire - for which drivers should be installed by default with the chipset drivers?

Regarding the Broadcom controller and wireless mini-card:  drivers for those are listed under the 'Network' category :emotion-5:

For a good description of what this software does, go here.

http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/proset/proset_software.htm

If you decide to install after reading the description look on the lower right side of the web page. The download is listed as item number 2 under "additional resources."
