This has happened to me once before. Previously, I uninstalled the Intel PROset software and re-installed it, and everything was fine.
Now, there is no listing for the PROset software in my Add/Remove programs. Uninstalling the adaptor in device manager and reinstalling it has not worked. Running a fresh installation of PROset hasn't worked. Using the driver update in device manager and installing the most recent drivers has not worked either.
At present, then, my Dell laptop has neither wifi nor Bluetooth (to get drivers on it, I download them on my phone and USB tether with my laptop).
Any suggestions?

All right, pressing deeper into this: I booted into the system BIOS, and choose to disable the built-in Bluetooth. Upon rebooting, the wifi adaptor was working again.

I wouldn't say that it is resolved. The only way to enable the wifi is to disable the onboard Bluetooth. That's a hack, not a solution, as now my laptop does not have functioning Bluetooth.

Hello MRile8,

Is this the original adapter that came pre-installed in your system?
