Inspiron 1520 WLAN - unable to enable
Hello! I have just bought a Dell Inspiron 1520. I installed Windows Vista on it (came preloaded with FreeDOS). Everything seems fine, however when I flip the switch to enable wireless connection it only enables bluetooth, when it's suposed to enable both. I checked and in QuickSet the settings are set that the switch should enable both connections. Also in Device Manager I see a "Netwrok Controller" under "Other devices". I believe this is the wireless controller, but when I click "Update driver" and even specify the exact location of the extracted driver it still won't install. What gives? Neither the Dell driver cd nor the driver downloaded from the support site will work.
Also, shouldn't the WiFi indicator light up when I flip the switch even if the driver is not installed? Because it doesn't now.
Maybe someone had the same problem and could help me? I would appreciate any support, because warranty support in my country is like a snail and could take up to a whole month.
