My guess it uses ndiswrapper. If you updated the kernel then you need to recompile ndiswrapper to work with the new kernel. Just a guess as to what may have happened. Without details as to what commands were run it is hard to say what you need to do.

I am not sure what commands were run at all. All i know is when i accessed the add or remove programs the dell wireless lan card program could not be accessed and appeared to be removed yet still showed up in the program list and since then no wireless. I have never had a card for the laptop either it was just automatically built in. Any ideas??
