Just bought a second hand dell C640 with windows installed and the wireless card would appear. Formated the hard drive and reinstalled windows now there is nothing about wireless showing. looked for drivers on dell.com but only found drivers for external cards.
I used Everest home edition to find the wireless drivers for my DELL C640 laptop. The wireless card in it is an ntel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B MiniPCI Adapter (IBM). I've downloaded the wireless driver from Intel's website, here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=944&OSFullName=Windows*+XP+Professional〈=eng&strOSs=44&submit=Go!#DRI
It's the 3rd result in that search page. If the link doesn't work, simply search for Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection on Intel's site.
That Dell C640 wireless driver works fine for me, I'm using the wireless card to type this :)
good luck!
Wireless is built in. Without driver installed the model does not show, so knowing what driver to use by model number is not option. Dell support now uses download app which must sit on machine, with Inet connect, but no connect without wireless working.
How do you solve this?

Pop out the wireless card and look for the model number. It's probably an Intel card. Go on the site of the manufacturer and download the driver.
Get Aidia32 this program will identify your hardware and that way you can get the right driver. www.sofotex.com/AIDA32-download_L9326.html I think these are the drivers ya need? http://www.station-drivers.com/page/atheros.htm

my Dell latitude c640 had windows 2000 pro i added windows xp home and it wont even read the wireless card i have tested it with. wireless is impossible to access. I put it in and it shows its a ethernet card or adapter however it will not even install the drivers and says there was a problem. i am useing a Dlink airplus Xtreme G 2.4ghz wirless netbus card adapter.
Thankyou
