Hi guys! :)  I have been having an issue with my dell laptop. I recently completely formatted the computer and when I re-installed the operating system my wireless network adapter inside my computer was no longer working. I knew this was because of the drivers so I connected my laptop through ethernet and attempted to re-install the drivers but on dells website it told me that I had no wireless network adapter inside my computer and would not let me download the driver which is retarded. Then my battery started to degrade and dell came up with a new driver that would fix it but I had to have 10% power to download that. I was like wtf dell clearly it is not charging. But back to the topic. If there is any way for me to download the drivers to get my wireless network adapter back to being operational and bypassing dells shitty recognition process. Any feedback at all will be hugely grateful if you have had the same problem or know how to fix it. Because what is the point of buying a laptop and its not wireless. :angry:  <_<  :blink:

Back in my day our laptops had PCMCIA expansion cards to add a dial-up modem to our laptops. This one is a Toshiba Satellite

I nearly junked an old Dell Inspiron 5100 many moons ago because I couldn't get anything to work. So I just happened to try to install chipset and it fixed everything.
