    sometimes you have to turn the radio on in the card! this can be a combination of a software setting in the Dell utility and/or pressing the function key (Fn) and a F key, probably F2. It may have an aerial icon printed on it.

    might be worth a look!

    Things to check

    1) Does it work wired when you plug in a network cable?
    2) Any error message?
    3) Can you see your wireless network in the wireless utility? Check what it is called on your working laptop. If not the card is probably off.

    Let us know these details.
