No wireless network connection iconHi there. I have just reinstalled XP professional on my laptop from scratch.
The laptop has wireless built in and prior to the reinstall worked perfectly. However, now I can't connect to my wireless network. When I fire up the network connections window, there is no wireless networks icon, so I can't get any further. Anyone know what I need to do?

Anyone know what I need to do? your WiFi adapter name and model, no one can tell you where to download the driver from. thanks - it's a Dell latitude D420. Been to the dell website, downloaded and
installed the driver for the wireless (except US, Japan) WLAN card for this machine. No joy. Is that not the driver I'm after - any clues?
