I use dell inspiron 6000 and my wireless isn't working because theres no wireless adapter listed under network drivers in my device manager, now i guess i need a wireless adapter but would i be able to download it off the internet? how do fix it?

if there is no "wireless adapter" listed under the device manager .. u probably dont have the wireless adapter ...which is a hardware ... U can't download it ... U have to buy it .....

No need to buy babe, Ive one extra.....

If your laptop has no wireless adapter, there is no way you can download anything to fix it.

However, it may be the case that your computer is not able to detect the wireless adapter even if there is one. In such situation, you can install wireless driver which will fix the problem.

The page below has all the drivers you need for dell inspiron 6000. You should be able to find specific driver that you need from this page.

hello aznshawty,
I think your laptop had Windows Vista and probably you get rid of it. The driver you can get for your wireless adapter in the Dell's web page is for Vista and it is not compatible with other OS. You can google for the driver. Give the manufacturer name of your wireless adapter(you can find it in tech. specification in Dell page) and install the appropriate one.

i actually need to do a total full winows xp install again, a lot of drivers have been missing!! i'll prolly have to take it to the store, thanks all for your help.

HEY JUS DO WAT XANTUN TOLD U TO DO... IT SHOULD FIX IT

no that wont fix it, spiderman.

So since there's the missing of an wireless adapter, i need to get it fixed at a computer store? I don't know how the adapter could possibly get deleted or uninstalled?!?
