So a few weeks ago the hard drive on my Dell XPS l502x died... So I replaced it and started installing the essentials, drivers etc. - I didn't start with the chip set I don't think as I didn't know you needed to at this point.
So I punched my service number into the Dell Website and downloaded all the required drivers, whacked them on a CD and started putting them on whilst I had a PC that could burn CD's (I was back at my parents in Cambridge whereas I live in Brighton and know no one down there who can burn CD's) So anyway now the wireless won't work... It's a Intel Centron 1030n or something off the top of my head (i'll write this post then double check) but i've tried installing drivers for it to no avail. When I install them, it comes up with the searching windows update for the drivers or something (does that ever actually work for drivers, seriously!?) I also noticed I have a RealTek PCI e GBE Family Controller installed (Something that came up when I googled these problems related to this laptop) So that got the ethernet working, however I'm not entirely sure it's the correct driver, but its working for now so hey I dont want to ruin anything until I sort out the wireless incase I need to burn another CD (back in brighton now)
But yeah, any ideas? I install the driver and nothing happens... Also I downloaded the Dell QuickSet a second ago to get the buttons working, but thats not working properly either (cant turn off this *** touchpad! but the light turns on and off)
Also what is SM Bus controller? I've tried installing things for it to no avail either and I have no idea what the 'Unknown Device' is!?
I'll post a picture of my drivers and the system info:
