    Ok so ive recieved my new 17 and installed ssd etc. I have done a clean install and have used the disk provided for drivers. I have installed the killer drivers but I have no internet connection. In device manager the 'network controller' driver is missing. I have been to dell website and found nothing. Does anyone know which driver I need? Many thanks

    Seemed to have solved it, removed killer suite and installed the 1202 drivers, this gave me a connection, then I reinstalled the latest killer suite and all is well. Strange.

    I'm glad you could solve it with that. Sometimes the drivers from the manufacturer's site work better.
