*Tip* Intel 4965agn and Windows 7 Installation Problems
Trying to install the Intel 4965agn wireless card on your laptop running Windows 7 but Windows fails to show any wireless network after the install?
Backup your settings and preferences in ZoneAlarm and AVG Anti Virus, uninstall both of these products, re-install the wireless card, restart your computer, and reinstall ZoneAlarm and AVG. You should be good to go. Not sure why but a few people have told me that ZoneAlarm and AVG are causing a problem with Windows 7 not able to view wireless networks if they install the Intel 4965agn wireless card after installing those two pieces of software. I’ve experienced this first hand on two Inspiron 1525 laptops. Uninstalling and re-installing these two products seem to help most people. For me it was just uninstalling/re-installing ZoneAlarm that solved my problem.
I’m thinking about putting 7 on my 1420…I probably will have similar problems.

Here’s the deal. If it is installed with the Windows 7 installation then all is well. If you install it AFTER you install Windows 7 and ZAP and/or AVG you’ll have issues. Its odd, not sure the cause and I really don’t feel like diving into the problem to figure out what is the cause. I’m glad I figured it out.
