Need help turning on wireless card

[Unit1Evangelion]

Greetings,

I just reinstalled Windows Vista on my laptop along with all the drivers that were included with the cd set I was given when I bought the laptop. For some reason my internal wireless card won't turn on. I can't find any option in the OS. There is no outside switch and the FN-F2 only turns my internal bluetooth on and off. If anyone knows how or what I need to download to get it turned on I would be greatful. Thanks in advance.

Specs:
Dell Inspiron 1705(practically brand new)
Windows Vista Home Premium
Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-Card or Dell Wireless 1505 Wireless-N Mini Card
-I am away from my computer atm. I just kno it is the best wireless N card out that dell throws in their laptops-

In Device Manager, do you see the wireless card?

You probrably have a hotkey combination to turn it on, like the fn key and then do you see a blue pic on any key on the keyboard that kind looks like a wireless tower or has the wireless lines?

It see's a network device in the thing but it can't reconize it. Yellow triangle with ! in the mid.

I do see a tower with like radio waves coming off the top. But its F2. Like I said, when I press it, it turns my blue tooth off and on constantly.

I can't call Dell and ask for the fact its hard for me to use a phone since I am in japan and the phones on my base are constantly being used. I guess its one of the downfalls of being a Marine -_-.

did you install any drivers that were labeled as the wireless card drivers? Sounds like you didn't... check your discs again or just download the current ones from Dell.com

When you right click the device and go to properties what is listed as the error?
