    Hi all, I installed Windows 7 on an old Alienware M7700 laptop. It seems to work pretty well - except for the WiFi (and the TV Tuner which I don't care about).

    Other posts I've found mention that Windows should install the WiFi driver automatically. Looks like that didn't happen for me - or maybe there is another driver I need to make the physical WiFi button work? (on my Acer laptop I had a similar problem until I installed their 'launchpad' software).

    What driver/software do I need to make the WiFi button work and the WiFi light come on for an Alienware M7700 (D9T) ?? (32bit, Windows 7 or XP, I'll take either at this point)

    Thanks in advance
