I have ran into this issue before after reinstalling the OS. I installed a bios update and issue was solved, try it even if you have the most current bios

Ever find a fix to this. i have the same problem. I started with Vista then reformatted and loaded XP sp3 and now my wifi doesnt work. I bought a new card intel 5100 (intel 3945 previous) and it still does not work. In the device manager, the device is showing, but the driver shows it can't start (Code 10). Any help would be appreciated.

When you double click on "here" in the previous post you should get the files to download. If you can not then

you have another issue.

None of the files for the E1405 are available to download. I've tried most of them and they all lead me to a "This webpage is not found".

Any ideas as to where I can go?

The Notebook system software is un Utilities. The Intel Chipset drivers are under Chipset. Check under opterating system to make sure you have the correct OS selected. You can look here.

No sir. Can you point me in the right direction to get those? Assuming I can download them.

You must load Notebook System software and then the Chipset Drivers first before loading any other driver. Did you do that first?

I just reformatted an E1405 before handing it out to one of our warehouse employees, but I can not seem to get the wireless feature to work. The WiFi logo does not light up at all, and I have downloaded what I thought was the proper driver with no luck. When I go to Start > All Programs > Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility the hourglass pops up, then nothing happens after that.

I've tried Fn + F2 but that doesnt seem to work. There is no wireless option showing up in my Network Connections either. I really need to resolve this issue, as I cant hand it out until I do. I've tried going to the Driver section here at Dell for this laptop but none of the files are on their server anymore.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Blake
