Im not sure i'll be able to help, but let me try... First of all, why are you sure your laptop has wireless cap. ? Are you sure because the type and model of the notebook you have has wireless by default configuration? In this is the case, there is still some chance that your pc doesnt actualy have a wireless card. Let me explain what i think. I bought a Dell Inspiron 1525 at my local dealer. When i checked the configuration of this notebook online on numerious online stores... it usualy showed the 1525 to have 2Gb of RAM, 160Gb hard disk...., however the comp. i bought had 3Gb of RAM and 250Gb hard disk. There are also many other diferences between my notebook and the specifics found in the adds for this comp. What i am trying to say is, if the only reason why you think you have a wireless card integrated is because the specifics listed for a latitude say sow, there is still a small chance that it is not so. Otherwise, have you checked what your BIOS hardware listing shows, does bios list a wireless card? And what NIC cards are shown when you open systeminfo in windows - type systeminfo in the cmd? Did you buy the notebook second hand? I received a CD with my notebook with all original drivers, so perhaps thats what you need. What does your device manager show for your network cards? Have your tried to rollback the driver? As you can see im guessing here because you provided very little information to use.
