    I am using windows vista home permiun OS (SP2, 32 bit), which I got with my dell inspiron 6400 laptop. Recently I bought intel pro wireless 5100 and 4965 agn adapter cards to upgrade my laptop's pro intel 3945 abg card. On installition it does recognised card and also say's ' device working properly' in adapters property tab. I spoke with dell tech guys before buying these cards and they said these are compatible cards but both of them does not shows any wireless network available for connection. I am using d link N router from Virgin media. When spoke with dell guys again they said it must be problem with compatiblity of these card with my system & need some alteration with OS(in vista) and needs to fix it but will be charge for using their service. I am totally upset with wrong advice given each time from dell tech guys. I will appreciate if someone would help me with this?? :confused: :mad:
    Thanks,

    Okay did you download Intel's latest driver for the appropriate OS?

    You can't use the 3945 AGB driver with the 4965 AGN driver.
