    How can I tell what wireless network card my comp has?

    I have tried to look under device manager and it is not recognized.
    I have also tried downloading one of those programs that detects everything in the computer and it does not see any network adapter. It was made around June of last year. I dont have disc 2 anymore with all the drivers on it.


    Any help would be appreciated.

    I am assuming you have an R1, So it could be an Intel 5300, or some dell one I would try different drivers to see the right ones will install the wrong ones will fail. You tried HWinfo32?
