Wireless card not recognized

[Guest]

Suddenly, in the last week or two, my wife's laptop stop recognizing that the
internal wireless NIC was installed. It is running WinXP home SP2. I checked
the BIOS to make sure the wireless device was set to on, which it was. It
doesn't even show up in the device manager. I contacted Dell and they
supplied me with the correct Driver for it, which I installed (Dell Wireless
1390 WLAN ExpressCard). Nothing changed. Could the device be dead or is there
a configuration setting I may have messed up? Anyone seen this before in
WinXP Home sp2 (it is on a Dell Inspiron B120)?

Are you sure the card is seated firmly in the slot? Did you check for
bent pins? Where in device manager did you look for the device?
