I did all that and restarted. Vista found the correct driver for my
wireless, but I am still having the same issues. When I try to
enable/repair/diagnose I get a pop up saying something like
broadcom.....is having problem with its hardware or device driver.
So I think that the card itself just went bad over night.

Some thing is wrong with the installation of the Wireless.
Check careful every thing. Same Model of Dell laptop can come with
different
models of Wireless cards.
Try to uninstall all the Wireless Connections in the Device Manager
(i.e.,
clean it up), then reboot. It might be that when nothing is there
Windows
would install the correct drivers.
