Help needing advice on HP Pavnion dv versions Wireless problem in Windows 7. on install don't dectect wireless devices if no connected or programmed to the system.
You need Service Pack 2 or above to use wireless on XP. I have always hated this problem and feel your frustration.
You will need to either hook your computer up on a wired connection to get the service pack or download it on another computer and transfer it by some type of removable media (CD, floppy).
Service Pack 2 download link:

Check in your "Device Manager" to see if there is a driver problem with the device. If you do see the device in your device manager, right click it and select "uninstall". Then select "scan for hardware changes" under the menu bar. If the option to scan is not there, select something in your device manager list to make it show itself.
It also would not hurt to reinstall the software for the device, along with any drivers for your computer itself. Very easy to overlook installing a certain driver or software.
Also try restarting the computer with the device not plugged into the computer. Then shutting it off, installing the device and turning the computer back on.
There is also the possibility of the device being bad, although I do not think this is your problem. As it sounds, it worked before the reinstall.

Sounds like you need some drivers installed, especially if you just installed XP clean.
Visit support.dell.com, click on Drivers and Downloads, click on the service tag option and enter your service tag located on the bottom.
This will take you to a list of drivers for your specific model. Make sure the OS chosen is Windows XP and in the list you should find some wireless drivers. There may be several different wireless drivers listed. And one of those will be specific to your needs.
You might need to identify which wireless card you have first. Which will requrie gaining access to it to get some part numbers or model numbers from it. There should be an access panel on the bottom that you can open to gain access to the mini-pci wireless card. That way you can see which one you have and download the correct software for it.
