need wireless help with dell xps1530 did not have it on during install

Hi guys. Need a little help, when I installed Arch I did not have my wireless card switch on so it was off. This was an issue with other distros where you had to have it on during install to get it working. What do I have to do to get it working. I have installed the driver for it but think I need to get the kernel moduals for it loaded.

Thanks.

Hello TomWitko!

"but think I need to get the kernel moduals for it loaded." -> Did you try it ?
Why isn't it work, what's the exact error output that you experience, what's the symptomps, and how do you try to do the operation for it ?

In not every case, I'd experienced such a situation when the driver couln't operate the LED on the card, but the card worked.
