Did you first install the Notebook System Software and then the Chipset Driver before installing the drivers in the correct order as described at this link ?

Hi John:

 Yes, I sure did install the drivers in that order. I had read how important it was and followed directions. Believe me, I've been working on this for awhile. Thanks for replying so quickly.

The Broadcom Ethernet adapter installed just fine. There is no problems with that. I'm surfing the net with the wired connection. The error I get is with the wireless network controller. The driver just can't be installed. I've read that there is a possibility that I could have a different Dell wireless mini-card. Maybe I'll have to open it up and look?

If you are not the first owner someone could have changed the card to another type in which case the service tag info would be no longer applicable. See the service manual at this link for how to access the mini card.

 

Thanks for all the help John. Maybe I'll open it and look, or maybe I'll just buy a USB wireless adapter. Take care.

If you are sure you have a Dell wireless card then try this driver here.
