Wireless under Windows 7

Hi, I have an older Inspirion B130 I am trying to install Win 7 on (RTM version received via Microsoft Partner program).   Win 7 is installed and seems

to be working quite well.  Built in RJ-45 network port is working fine and connecting me to the internet.  Problem is the wireless does not work.  Win 7 sees

the router but will not connect to it.  The router is configured for encryption but Win 7 does not ask me for the key, just says it cannot connect.  I realize I should

probably re-install the driver but I cannot locate it.  When I enter my service tag, all I get is Windows XP drivers (I assumed there would be Vista drivers

available).  Plus of the drivers listed for wireless, all I see listed is drivers for particular mobile cards.  I believe what I have is (taken from the hardware

list in Windows System) is a "Dell wireless 1470 dual band WLAN PCI card".  Is that what I should be looking for?  Where can I get the right driver for it?

Or is there another way to get my wireless working?
