SOLVED: I have an Inspiron 1720 with the same problem after reinstalling Vista Home Premium....code 10...wireless adapter cannot start. Device Manager showed "Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter" Driver Details showed a Microsoft Driver with an older date. I believe the version was 4.82.28.56 PROBLEM: This is not the correct driver!!! You need a Dell driver ... not a MS driver! The default MS driver was installed. I found a folder with the correct driver at C:\drivers\network\R151522 on my hard drive. I used the Device Manager "Update Driver" option and pointed to that folder....success! Device Manager now shows "Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card" under Network Adapters. I can see my wireless networks again! Note: The folder may have been created while I was using the "Utilities" CD during my recovery.   Good Luck to all  
Hiya everyone, Turns out that my Dell XPS M1530 laptop got a virus, so to solve this I re-installed Windows (Vista Home Premium) and as a result, all of my files, drivers and software have all been deleted. I have re-installed almost everything I need, except one vital thing. The Wireless Network Adapter.  I have used all the network drivers on my Dell Driver disc and none of them have seemed to work, luckily I have a spare computer so I can ask you all this and I have looked all over the internet for driver download, none of them have worked. I looked around and it seems to be quite a common problem when people advance OS' and I suppose I have been in the same situation, But no drivers seem to work! Does anyone have any advice or download links to help me then that would be great. Thanks Extra Information: Brodcom 802.11n Network Adapter Device Status: This device cannot start (Code 10) Service: BCM43X
