Dell inspiron 1545

Clean install from vista x64 to windows 7 x64

Upgrade option would not work as I could not remove the wireless wlan card driver

Windows 7 installed OK except I have lost the wireless. Wired internet is OK.

I downloaded the recommended driver for the card

Dell Inspiron 1545 Wireless WLAN 1397 Half MiniCard

when I try and install it says there is no matching device.

The wireless device does not show up in the device manager.

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I figured it out finally. It wasn't the driver that was wrong it was that the device wasn't being
picked up when I booted up. I looked around in the setup utility and found where to enable it.

The next time I booted up it found it and automatically installed the driver!
