Dear all

Write down the model of your computer, go to a friends, library or school with your jump drive and download it.  

You can also download an universal network driver : https://ccm.net/forum/affich-5493-network-controller-is-not-working#1

Take the jump drive home and install it from there.

download EVEREST Home Edition.  expand the + next to devices in the left pane. click windows devices. Scroll down in the upper right pane and expand the + next to the question mark labeled "other devices". click on Network Controller. It should be highlighted blue. look in the lower right pane about 4 lines from the top there will be a line labeled "PCI Device".  Go to support.dell.com and enter the service tag number from the bottom of your laptop and hit go.  go to the list of drivers and expand the arrow labeled "Network".  scroll down the list and find the driver for the device listed in EVEREST, download the driver, and viola. all fixed!!

In my case I had a (Drivers and Utilities) CD that I also had to install after the OS. Open it after downloading . Automatically it detects  System Model "Latitude 610" and OS "Windows XP" then it lists all devices by drivers i.e. Audio Drivers; you require Network Drivers.. 
Select the US based "Dell_Wireless(US) WLAN Network Adaptor Card Rev:A04. 
You would need to extract the compressed file.
Once again you have an automatic response from an InstallShield Wizard which installs and immediately notifies you of avail. networks (and wireless at that)
