    Hello guys,

    I was given an inspiron 8500, which is running really well. The only issue is that Intel Proset can't find the driver. I checked the device manager and noticed that I need a driver for the Network Controller. I went to the dell website and installed all the drivers they had for the wireless card, but nothing. I don't know what to do. I also noticed that the card had this number on it "wm3a2100." and I still had no luck installing the driver. If anyone can help me I really appreciate it.


    Thanks
