 I downloaded the driver: Dell Wireless /// WLAN MiniPCI Card, Wireless WLAN PC Card, Wireless (US) WLAN Card, Wireless Dual-Band WLAN MiniCard, Wireless WLAN ExpressCard, Wireless // WLAN mini Card Driver

From bharathealthcares.com

Copied it to thumb drive, copied it to d: drive and ran install. restarted PC but still doesn't show up. Considered PCMCIA card but Id prefer the wifi

Wasn't really concerned about internet capability at first because this is a dedicated workshop computer but it would be nice to connect to web for repair info and specs without dragging grease thru the house.

EDIT: I have tried to download the complete set of drivers form the Dell support page, but I need to download them on my current machine and transfer them via thumb drive. But system detect keeps popping up as if it wants to detect the pc im using to download
