MIssing my network controller driver after re-installed windows 7

Hi, I hope someone can find a solution to this problem, I have to re-installed windows 7 on my DELL Xps 17 due to a problem with Mcafee Software. Thinking that I would resolve one problem I end up with another one bigger than the first one, so know I am missing my network controller driver which I can not find any ware. That is the only drive that I need for my wireless to work, and I am going a bit mad here try to find a solution, Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I cannot download the drivers because I can't get on the network.  I ordered the driver CD from Dell but I don't think it should be this hard to tell which driver I am missing?  What is the driver called that is the network adapter for Inspiron N5050?  

That tag only gives 4 drivers in Drivers and Downloads omitting most the drivers that you need.

You need the Dell Wireless 1503 Card Drivers.

Driver 7×86, 7×64: http://ftp.dell.com/network/R302627.exe 5.100.82.34

This is an 18 page thread there are plenty of replies.

Provide the model of your system e.g. Inspiron 6400, version of Windows e.g. Windows 7 64 Bit and hardware IDs (which are used to identify variants such as wireless cards within models). See here for information:

How to I find out which network adapter I have so that I can download the correct driver? When I click on the the network controller and attemp to view the properties the only thing it tells me is that it is an unknown device and the drivers are not properly installed.
