    Those are the thing the device manager is sending, and the answer I get from the software...

    From Dell I haven't download anything 'cause they have drivers only for Vista, but I have from Intel...

    This are the links

    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...s=44&submit=Go!

    But, as I said, none of them worked for me

    Please if someone could help me here =( ...

    This driver worked for me. Its a Russian site. just type in the code and download it. I think those with a broadcaom wireless are the ones having problems getting xp driver.
