    I just formatted my m5550. After installing a bunch of driver, I have local area network(wired) but my wireless isnt working. What gives? Does anyone know what software or drivers I need? I went from XP to Vista to XP again(XP as of now).

    That's because you need the driver broski.

    Hook it up with the model number G

    The m5550 has the Intel Wireless 3945ABG card...

    I believe this is the driver.
