Thanks Ztrucker
My service tag no is 6H83BL1
Windows 7 Professional x64
Dell Inspiron 1545
Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card
Broadcom File Version 4.176.75.18
I suspect that it may not be a Windows 7 problem but that the WLAN card is broken or my 3G dongle interfering. (See Dell Inspiron 1545: Unable to activate Wireless functionality - Tech Support Guy Forums )
Unfortunately I cannot attach the Screen Shots
