    Yeah I noticed this last night as well... the drivers are not showing up on Dell's website for the M17x R3.

    They might be updating something.

    Anyone have the WiFi Driver ? Can they send it to me ? I can get the video later if need be. or as my friend is not computer savy can some tell me the exact wifi card they install in the m17x ? I can remote in and do the rest once I get him connected.

    Well what wireless card does he have? If the 6300 then go to the Intel website, if the killer then go to the Bigfoot website. There are 4 different wireless cards that Dell offer in the M17x R3.
