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

    As this is a very long thread and I have listed almost all Dell Wireless Cards hardware IDs and drivers in a wiki I will mark this as an answer so users can find the information they need at the top of the thread.

    To find out the hardware IDs of Network Controllers (and Hardware IDs in general) follow the link:

    For a list of Dell Wireless Cards, their hardware IDs and the latest driver I could find see here:

    Hi leedon1973,

    You would need Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 wireless card driver for the Device ID you have provided. Please let me know the Operating system installed on your system so that I could provide you the correct driver.

    Hi woodfox,

    Network Controller is related to the Wireless card drivers. There are different XPS 17 computer models. If you can provide me the exact computer model I will able to provide the correct wireless card driver.

    Also, please provide me the Device ID of the Network Controller; follow the instructions mentioned below to get the Device ID;

    1)       In Device manager, right click Network Controller.

    2)       Click Properties.

    3)       Click Details Tab.

    4)       Search for Device Instance ID.

    5)       Provide the numbers after VEN and DEV.

    For any clarifications feel free to contact me.
