Windows – Wireless drivers for Dell Vostro 3500

dell-vostrodriverswindows 7wireless-networking

I've just installed Windows 7 32bit on my Dell Vostro 3500 (Intel).

For some reason wireless is not working so I'm assuming I am missing the correct drivers.

I went (among other places) here and downloaded and tried both (just in case because I couldn't tell the difference).

I got this:

I'm not sure the above link is what I wanted but it made some sense.

So where can I find the appropriate drivers?

I can't post as an answer yet.
EDIT: Answer

I found the necessary drivers here.

I installed and it is working without a problem.

The above isn't an official link, so use it at your own risk but on my PC, it worked just fine. I think the linked site is trust worthy though.

Here is (what I think is) the official driver but I have not tried it.

I hope it helps somebody else.

First, you should not be going to the Intel site. Sometimes, large OEM's get slight modifications of either firmware and/or drivers. You should go to the Dell site, and enter your Service Tag to get your exact drivers.

Try this driver package from Dell. It has both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers.
