Default wireless trouble


I have a Dell Inspiron 6000, when I start it up the I get a "A wireless physical adaptor is not installed" What does that mean, and where do I start to fix it?

You most probably need to update / reinstall the drivers for the adapter.

Go to here Dell's Drivers and Downloads site you can then enter the serial number of your system to look up the correct drivers and download them...

I downloaded the drivers and still have the same problem. I had this problem before and was able to get it corrected with the Intel site and a download from them but it is not working this time. Any other suggestions?
