Re: Intel 3945 A/G driver update posted 8/14/07

Hi --

My son inherited my Inspiron e1505.  After years of abuse, it was fubar (very slow, wouldn't shut down, etc.).

I tried & failed to restore (ctrl+f11; go no response), so I reinstalled the operating system (p/n ky938; xp sp2).

Got that up.  Have no light on wifi.  Checked BIOS, is set for both bluetooth & wireless; Fn+f2 does not light it up.

Went to Dell drivers; found Dell_multi-device_A17_R174291.exe listed as wireless driver for e1505.  No joy; got an error message that there was no compatible hardware found.

Old copy of Belarc shows this:

What do I need to do to turn on wireless, so that I can continue rebuilding this computer?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
