Dell Inspiron 1501 Onboard Wifi Adapter Driver. Dell Inspiron 1501 / Windows 7 - How To Reset Password (Cannot Recall). It is not running after I rebooted my computer again.Also, going to cmd and typing ipconfig shows the "Media State.Media Disconnected". Weird.As it stands now, the ethernet port still works and when I have it unplugged, the icon shows the wireless bars with a red X in the corner.I've disabled my Avast! anti-virus program as well. Driver is reinstalled but wireless card isn't picking up any networks.When I hit Windows Key + X, it brings up the Windows Mobility Center and under the Wireless Network box, the button to "Turn wireless on" is greyed out. I uninstalled it anyway, shut down my computer, and rebooted. I've checked the Device Manager to see if there was anything wrong with the driver, and there wasn't any red X's or yellow exclamation points. However, a few days ago the wireless stopped working.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit installed for quite a while now and it's been working fine. I have a 2007(?) Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop.
