I just re-installed Vista on my computer and cannot connect to the internet. When I run diagnostics I get a message saying "The computer does not have a wireless network adapter installed and configured" and to" install wireless networking hardware and verify that the correct drivers are loaded."
I went to the dell driver download site and downloaded all of the drivers needed as specified after I input the service code. I put the drivers on a USB drive and installed them in the order as specified by Dell.
Dell 1525 Network Controller Driver For Mac
I had to Reinstall my windows Vista OS. My WNA was working prior to the OS reinstallation, so I am confused a bit. I have no idea how to reinstall drivers in order that dell gives me. I have downloaded the drivers from the Dell downloads section;however, I don't know what to do next. I tried to go to device manager and find network adapter, but it does not appear, only an "other" section with some ! marks next to them. Can someone explain how to do the step by step process or link me to a support article? Thanks.
You should see a window that says something like "Network: Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN....." Click continue on that window. Then it will show "C:\dell\drivers\R174292". Click OK. It might say that C:\dell\drivers\R174292 does not exist and ask you if you want to create it, click "Yes". Then you'll see an overall progress thing moving... Then it will say "All files were successfully unzipped". Click OK. Then it will start running the installation. Just follow the instructions and do a reboot afterwards.
Thanks, I'll try that. However, something else is also troubling me. Along with my missing network adapter, I also have a few other items in the "other devices" section under network adapters; like base controller (x3), video controller and another which I forgot. What are these...?
Once you have the appropriate installer downloaded, simply run the installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation of the Intel Killer Control Center and the latest device drivers for your Killer networking adapters.
This IS the answer! R174292.exe After two straight days of doing all of the above, too many times over, you had the solution. All I did was click on the driver you suggested even though Dell doesn't have it as a suggestion and lo and behold it worked JUST LIKE THAT! I mean it is so simple. I don't know how to put anything in as a headline on the internet searches but with all the problems everyone has like mine with this simple WIFI thing on their Inspiron 1525 - No Network Controller problem - you really need to do something like make a major 24 point headline as the easy fix - I mean, good grief, you deserve some kind of reward for this. This is major and Dell should pay you for this help you have given me and many others. All I can say is that I've been trying to get this answer and there you were. Thank you, Thank you Thank you!!!

I read through the forums and I see that my laptop is missing a driver for "Wireless 1395/1370 Network card" apart from the Marvell -Yukon driver. So, I tried to follow the links for the drivers and I found that the dell drivers and downloads page has the driver for Xp OS but not for the Vista OS.
Thus! My plight! That is of the most urgent need to alter the MAC Address of my wireless network adapter, the Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card. Although I, being but an underling to the network overlords, am not without a share of experience in these matters, for upon the marks of years to pass I had successfully, and with the utmost ease, have been able to change MAC Addresses for mostly any card. In such instances where a road block had been reached the culprit at fault was most heinously underdeveloped drivers. My plight is this, I am in need of changing the MAC Address of my wireless adapter.
Without problem I have been able to change the MAC Address of the Ethernet adapter, but simply put the wireless adapter cannot be so simply put. After executing thine driver upgrades, (listed on the Dell Driver upgrades for this make and model of laptop, that is to say, Inspiron 1525), and after many reboots I was unable to change the MAC of my own accord. The values would be set in the Device Manager but they simply would not take, no matter which driver had I, nor how many power cyclings of either adapter or computer were performed.
The variant of the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network card in theInspiron 1525 is not supported by the outdated ipw3945 or iwl3945drivers which come with openSUSE 10.3. However, upgrading to a morerecent version of iwl3945(iwlwifi-kmp-default-1.2.0_2.6.23.17_ccj64-0.1 andiwl3945-ucode-2.14.1.5-13) from the suser-jengelhrepository(see above) fixes the problem. Make sure to either uninstall the ipw3945packages, or configure the wireless card to use the iwl3945 modulerather than the ipw3945 module in YaST.
I have a Dell 1525 upstairs with my oldest kid. It has a bad hard drive. He is booting Ubuntu 9.10 as a LiveCD right now to use it and it detects and connects wireless without any user action (other than selecting which wireless network).
hi everyone, i have RHEL 8.4 but the wifi driver is not availble PFAlspci -nn grep 88210000:02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:c821]
I have been using Philip"s guides for my Dell Inspirion 1525 since I found them a couple or so years ago. This was a Vista OS 32 bit machine with a 64 bit capable Intel Dual Core. The laptop was given to me as it was inoperable. i diagnosed a hard drive failure. (Probably due to the heat being generated by the Vista OS.) I upgraded to a 250 gig SSD and 4 gigs of Ram and a Windows 8 and later 8.1 64 bit OS. I am now running Windows 10 64 bit. The 1525 is running better than ever especially as I finally ditched Edge and Internet Explorer in favour of Firefox which works great in tandem with Windows 10. I have yet to use any other drivers apart from those downloaded bu Windows 10. (I may change the Audio Driver as the sound is rather weak at this time.)
Ok, so I know I'm a n00b around here, but I did a lot of work and research on Insanely Mac to find the necessary information and drivers to get my Inspiron 1525 running Kalyway 10.5.2. This is intended to assist other owners of the 1525 since it is a very nice cheap laptop, and the Best Buy deal this week (week of 7/13/08) for $499 makes it even sweeter to pick up.
To fix the problem with the wired network, I got a D-Link Dub-E100 USB to Ethernet adapter, and it works with a driver that can be found here _103b11.dmg. I was close to getting the built-in Ethernet working, but it messed up my wireless connection. I restored from a previous Time Machine backup and just left it at that. I maybe need a wired connection once a week, so it's not terribly inconvenient to toss the extra module in my laptop bag. 2ff7e9595c
