I have been searching for a method to get manual setup to show in the add
connection wizard, but i cannot access it. To make matters worse, Intel no longer supports the Intel PRO Wireless software on Vista. I need to manually set up this connection since I have no control over the access point, but it will not let me make a manual connection. |

This did not resolve anything, since as I had mentioned, manual did not
appear and the device seemed to be installed properly. However, I have already resolved the issue in question. The problem was with the default windows drivers for the Intel PRO chipset. Although it a driver for the correct hardware, it was outdated, and Dell's driver installation program is actually broken. I manually found and extracted the driver from Dell's program and updated the driver. This solved the problem.
