Anyone have trouble reinstalling 9100?

I cleaned my machine up for sale, and reinstalled all the drivers. Now wireless only has WEP encryption, not WPA-PSK. I've tried both the ones supplied on the provided disk, and a download from the Dell site.

There is also another problem. Windows says it cannot connect to the wireless network (in view available networks) yet the machine is connected to the web and I can browse!

Is there a definitive list of software to dload? Perhaps I've missed something.

from what you said i am assuming that you are using Service Pack 2, are you using windows to try and configure the wireless settings or ar you using the dell wireless config?

If you DO have SP1 then this page has links to 2 patches that give WPA support to SP1.

Thanks guys. It is a twofold problem. First no WPA, which can probably be fixed with the download.

Second, I'm when I click on available wireless networks it says windows cannot configure it (doesn't show any networks), but If I go into properties and enter the SSID and WEP key the connection is completed.
