    Hi guys.
    I have a problem with my e4200 latitude laptop. Today, I installed fresh windows xp and wanted to connect to the internet. The thing is, that I can't install the wireless drivers. Under Device Manager the only network adapters I have listed are 1394 Net Adapter and Intel(R) 82567Lm Gigabit Network Connection.

    As you can see there is no Wireless network adapter. And whichever driver I found for the wireless on the Dell webpage says "No compatible hardware found." when I try to install it.

    Please help me connect to the internet with my laptop :)

    Best Regards

    Right, there should be in Device Manager and another entry with a big yellow question marked named Network adapter or something to that extent, find the hardware ID and download the appropriate driver. 8086 VEN is Intel, 14E4 is Realtek (Dell rebranded wireless card).
