This is the Windows 2000/XP driver from the Dell support website. It is the driver only. There is no wireless utility included. I have repackaged this for easy installation. Run this, then plug in the device. This installer/driver works for 2000/XP, Server 2003/2008, Windows Vista and Windows 7. This is for 32-bit operating systems only.
I have repackaged this because we have some for sale on eBay. I have tested it with XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
