need help setting up a wireless network
I am working on a Inspiron 1150 and in my device manager I am missing the Network Controller. Can someone help me find one to download and give me info on how to connect this computer to the wireless network that is already established? thank you
Do you show anything under network controllers? You should have icons for the wired card, and the wireless. You won't have those until you install the drivers for the devices. If you don't have the dell drivers handy, scan for hardware changes in device manager and see if your OS has a driver that will install for you.

dereksmith1107,
When you said...
Did you by chance re-install the operating system? If so, then read this...

Since the operating system was re-installed did you remember to go to drivers and downloads, enter your service tag(DO NOT POST SERVICE TAG here or your post will get deleted, since it contains your personal information), and install these drivers in this order.
Desktop System Software or Notebook System Software
Chipset or SMBus driver
Processor Driver (if applicable)
