Alienware 5620D Wireless Drivers

[AdmnPower]

I recently obtained an Alienware 5620D Area-51m laptop and so far i've been able to find drivers for everything but the wireless adapter, i don't even know what the manufacturer is. If anyone know where to find it or can provide me with a link i would greatly appreciate it. I've looked all over the place without success.

download this and see if you can ID the card, then google the driver or go to the manufacturer's webpage

forgot to say that i already tried that, everest doesn't know what it is, good thinking though

is it a mini pci card? Does it have an access panel? Physically inspect it, and if it is not obvious search for it on google with the FCC ID.

i found it, i had to take apart the computer to see what the model was, some wierd thing i've never heard of.

was it under the keyboard, or did it have an access panel? Also, just incase anyone else stumbles across this thread needing similiar help, what model card was it?

It was located under the keyboard which isn't too hard to pull up, a couple of tabs and 3 screws. It's an EM9-AB adapter, you can google that and it should come back with results close to what you need, i'm not sure of the manufacturer even now. It's a really wierd wireless adapteer.
