Dell Inspiron 1121 Wireless drivers?
I installed a fresh copy of Win 7 64 bit and I'm having a hard time getting wireless to work. My Inspiron 1121 has the Intel 6240 Wireless-N w/WiMax installed.
The Dell site shows only 1 Win 7 64 bit total available for download and it doesn't even appear to be valid.
I tried downloading straight from Intel - no luck.
Dell support said they would mail me a DVD with drivers. Does anyone know a direct link to download working drivers?

I threw my old HD back in and used double driver to backup the drivers - then restored them on the new SSD. The Intel Centrino WiMax 6250 function driver is now at least installed, but I still can't get wireless to work. I downloaded the intel wifi software and ran the manual diagnostics and it says my adapter is not enabled. If I hit f2 - windows f2 - function f2 - or any combination thereof the option enable/disable WiFi does not come up. The adapter does not have a red x in the device manager indicating it's disabled. Ugh.

ieee488. Take a look at the 'drivers and download' page for the Inspiron 1121 and let me know if you notice a problem.
