Go to Dell's website and find your model by typing in your express service tag which should be on the bottom side of your laptop. Go through some hoops and get to the drivers section and go find your wireless driver.



You can pop open one of the covers on the bottom fo your machine and look for a chip suspended on two prongs which has one white and one black wire attached to it. It may say the Wireless brandname on it.



If not then try downloading a generic Broadcom driver for wireless and see if it works for you.How do i find out what wireless card is in my laptop?
If this is a DELL, then there should be a SERVICE TAG # on the back. Get that number and go to DELL website and download the driver. If there is no XP driver, then check the model for the wifi card and search the web for it.
Plug in a Cat 5 hard wire and go on the net to www.belarc.com and download the free belarc advisor program which when installed will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about your operating system and all your hardware in seconds.

I put it on every computer I diagnose and tell the customer to leace it there for future diagnosis.
Get a program called Everest Ultimate edition. It basically tells you the name of every component in your pc and a whole lot more.

Here you go.
call to the internet provider they will tell
There were two built-in wireless cards that came with the M1330 laptop. Either the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG or the Intel WiFi Link 4965AGN. Since the laptop only came with Vista or Win 7, those are the only supported drivers on Dell's web site. If you go to Intel's web site, hopefully you can find the WinXP version.
If you can檛 find the right dell drivers manually I would recommend just getting a software program that can do it for you. There is a program I use which will find drivers for just about all hardware devices. The best part is it takes a snapshot of your system specifications and matches the right driver to go with it.
