Sounds like you need some drivers installed, especially if you just installed XP clean.

Visit support.dell.com, click on Drivers and Downloads, click on the service tag option and enter your service tag located on the bottom.

This will take you to a list of drivers for your specific model. Make sure the OS chosen is Windows XP and in the list you should find some wireless drivers. There may be several different wireless drivers listed. And one of those will be specific to your needs.

You might need to identify which wireless card you have first. Which will requrie gaining access to it to get some part numbers or model numbers from it. There should be an access panel on the bottom that you can open to gain access to the mini-pci wireless card. That way you can see which one you have and download the correct software for it.

Hello,
I think you should use someone else's computer to download those software. That will solve your problem.

SOURCE: led backlight on display for m1330 xps dell

This model laptop uses a CCFL lamp for the backlight, it does not use LEDs for backlighting.
The CCFL lamp is attached to an inverter which supplies high voltage to this lamp.
For details on how to install and or replace CCFL lamps go to
www.lcdparts.net for information and parts.

I assume you are not replacing the whole LCD screen.

go to dells website and get the driver there. there should be a code somewhere on the bottom of the laptop that says what model number it is, and you input that into the dell drivers site, and it goes through all the drivers you can download. obviously, you'll have to connect with an ethernet cord to do so, and if you can't get it working, you could always pick up a cheap wireless adapter on ebay for about 10 dollars.
