After plugging it directly into my router, via cable, i connected to the
internet which made me realize that it was my wireless card with the
problem.

Device manager showed no problems, its a broadcom 802.11 multiband
network adapter, which in the properties said it was working properly. I
disabled & enabled = nothing. I updated driver = nothing. I uninstalled
and reinstalled, then had to update driver through Device manager cuz
adapter was not found (had ! next to it), now it shows different adapter
(dell wireless 1490 dual band wlan mini-card). Connection is disabled
and will not enable. Installed drivers from both the dell driver disc &
dell website. Still will not enable.

The wifi switch in ON, but I notice that the wifi light is not. Think
my card is shot?
