Dell D630... none of the drivers work?

Wifi devices can be USB connected. They don't have to sit
on the PCI bus or PCI Express bus. Use a copy of UVCView, to get
enumeration info. Everest would have shown something, if the Wifi
was on the PCI or PCI Express bus.

The enumeration info, consists of fields like this.

idVendor: 0x046D (Logitech)
idProduct: 0xC01A (M-BQ85 Optical Wheel Mouse)

You can look up the codes here.

I'm getting lost as to whether I'm connected or not so I've had to
post this again!
Anyway, the very last driver on the Dell page worked! I've now got the
internal WiFi at the flick of a switch... but it won't connect. I get
a "problem applying profile!" error every time even though I'm 100%
sure of the WPA. I tried disabling the PCI WiFi but that didn't help.
Should I fully uninstall it, or should it matter?

Maybe it needs a profile for the new hardware ? I'm not a Wifi guy.
(Everything here is wired.)

If you want to post a followup via groups.google.com, ensure
you quote enough for the article to make sense. Google is only
an interface to Usenet; it's not Usenet itself. Don't assume
your readers can, or ever will, see any previous articles.

I'm glad I don't use Usenet directly if the threads don't show all the
previous posts. Should I include all of my opening post every time?

Sorted! (I hope). The drivers at Dell plain don't work, but at Intel
there's software for the AGB that's done the job. I'm running now from
the internal WiFi, and I guess everything's running as it should. Now
to enjoy this baby.
Thanks for all the prodding in the right direction guys!

I have no idea. I don't see any 'opening post' here. The point is
that each message should stand by itself.
