    I just recently purchased an m17xR3 and I'm doing a fresh install to an SSD. I have the base level networking card installed from alienware. Which driver do I need to download from Dell? I know it's not the intel one's, but what is the atheros one?

    One more quick question. After I finish installing drivers can I delete the extraction folders under the dell driver folder?
