I've just installed XP64 on my refurbished Dell M4400. But it can't find any wireless adaptors any more.
I believe I need to reinstall the drivers, but how do I find out what wirless adaptor I physically have?

That only shows the wired adaptor, not the wireless. Hence the problem!
Dug out the original spec and found its an Intel 5300 so will try the drivers for that.
