Alienware m15x no wireless after Windows 7 reinstall

I had to reinstall Windows 7 recently and reinstalled all of the necessary drivers.

I can connect to the internet when tethered but no wireless networks are found (my other laptop connects to the network just fine).  The wireless adapter is enabled in the BIOS.  I have tried downloading drivers but none work.

Here are my specs:

Thanks for your help.
