Vista Upgrade and WiFi?

Question

Hey, I got my Dell Vista Upgrade a day early today, I'm trying to install it, but the Upgrade Assistant just told me that it has to uninstall my 'Dell Wireless 1500 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card', but I REALLY need that, as in, I CAN'T uninstall that, unless Vista will reinstall it later. Can anyone help me with this?

You can confirm this? I'm kinda worried here. I need to be able to use that card.

What it is going to do is uninstall the Windows XP Drivers and then it will install the Vista Drivers once Vista is installed. It is OK.   pcgeek11

Dude!     the XP drivers are NOT compatible with VISTA. This does not remove the hardware just the driver's for the hardware.   If you leave the XP drivers installed and upgrade you WILL not have a stable system. If you have problems with the WIFI after you do the upgrade call tech support and they will help ya fix it.
