Did Win Xp came with the Dell Inspiron or Vista? Can you provide the link where you got your wireless card driver? Moving forward, are there still yellow or red MARKS under device manager specifically the network adapter? The manual I saw mentioned about a recovery partition(not recovery disc) in Win Vista.
