    Hello,

    My LED (diod) indicator of Wireless connection stopped 'blinking' after removing Vista OS and installing XP Pro. I have downloaded all appropriate drivers for hardware in my dell 1520 from Dell Webpage - everything works as it should except that cursed LED. Anyone had same problem?

    LED works fine under Vista (reinstalled and checked) so the LED is not damaged or somehow disconnected.

    Really sorry if that problem has been mentioned here before my post - I was using search option but I didn't find anything similar.

    I will be grateful for advices how to solve that problem (except installing again Vista or Dual Bot)

    regards,

    ps.
    believe me it is very distracting thought that something doesn't work and You don't know why especially that everything seems to be ok...

    Have you tried installing the latest driver from the Dell website for the wireless card? How about uninstalling the driver and letting Windows choose the best one? Do you have Quickset installed?

    all drivers has been tested.

    Quickset - except this application. I will download it and check if it solves the problem.
