No wireless internet

[Oogy]

I was able to get 10.8.2 installed on my Dell XPX 8300. But the wireless card is not working. The model of my wireless card is DW1501. I searched the forum for this card but I'm not sure about the results I found. Is there a way to get this card working? Thanks!

Most likely, no unless it uses Broadcom or Atheros networking which it probably doesn't.

If it won't work, what are my best, cheapest option to get wireless internet? I really need that to work.

Thanks for the fast responses. After searching the forum, I just ordered a DW1515 from eBay. Hopefully that will solve my problems.

I popped the DW1515 in and the wireless is working perfectly. Thanks!

OK, I guess I spoke too soon. I just rebooted the computer and the wireless is still working, but it did not remember my network. Now I have to manually put in the password to connect. I don't want to have to do this every time I start up the computer. Was I supposed to install a driver for the DW1515? i assumed the driver for my old DW1501 would be sufficient. Any ideas?

Well, I entered all of the information again, and the next time I booted it remembered my network. Not sure why it didn't the first time. Oh well. Hopefully it will keep remembering my network.
