Wireless Device is not detected error

Question

My laptop recently needed to have the OS re-installed. For some reason my wireless is not enabled and I do not know how to turn it on. I tried downloading the driver (Dell Wireless 1703/1705 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver) listed for my computer but that fails every time. Does anyone know how to enable my wireless??

Check the hardware IDs in the device manager:

Does pressing [Fn] and [F2] do anything?

Networking, Internet, & Bluetooth
