I have just recently rebooted my Dell Inspirion N5110 with Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit. My laptop was originally running Windows 7 home 64 bit but my LAPTOPS HARDWARE IS 32 bit. Since rebooting after installation of Windows 7 32 bit. The network driver are not available when searched in Device Manager. Trying to find the right network drivers for my Laptop model but Dell support HAS ONLY the 64 bit network drivers available for download. So anybody been through similar problem?
Please help on installing the correct network driver.

Thank you Maxie, I have already tried downloading from the dell support page but they only have 64 bit network drivers. now should I reboot my laptop WITH 64 BIT WINDOWS 7 and then try the 64 bit network drivers from dell support?

Thanks a lot maxie. Finally I am using my own laptop. In my case the R311896 DRIVER worked for me while other drivers did not work. Anybody with the same problems as mine use the link given by Maxie. Now thats sorted out, do you know how to install the driver for VIDEO and USB. DO I NEED to FOLLOW a PARTICULAR Drivers ORDER when installing the drivers individually.
