    I just got rid of all the bloatware on my computer, and I am trying to discover wireless networks on Vista...and it is not detecting anything. Do I need to install some sort of driver? I'm confused....I have the Wireless-N Card...please help!

    BTW...this is my first post, so I dont know anyone on this forum, hopefully you guys can treat me like everyone else :)

    I dont remember what exactly it was...it's something like Intel Wireless-N? I think you have to select it yourself it's done installing the other drivers, I'm not at home right now so I cant give you the directions :/

    I had the same problem. I found my drivers where still on my computer. Go to my comoputer and click on the c drive. You should see a file that says drivers. Click on this click on network then click on the r150909 file then click on iproifix. This fixed mine. Hope it works for you.

    hey mark....I found network, but nothing that says R150909 or Iproifix....I hope i can get this running again...rather than have to call dell customer care...I'm trying to install the wireless N driver right now.

    find out which card you have and then look for it on the drivers disk
