Will not recognize wireless card (5150)
I just installed a fresh copy of Windows XP. My laptop came with a wireless card and I have never messed with the hardware; it normally just installs itself.
My computer usually detects an internet signal on its own, but it's like my computer doesn't even recognize the wireless card! Do I need to install the drivers for it?
When I open up the device manager I'm not quite sure what the "device" is called either...
Thanks.

Yes, you will need to install specific drivers for your wireless card as well as for your video, audio, touchpad, modem and LAN.
A list of all the available drivers can be found in the link below.
