Drivers for VOSTRO 1440
Well guys, you see i got my laptop DELL VOSTRO 1440 A02 around like 3 months ago and recently, I upgraded it to Windows & Ultimate. I was foolish enough to NOT backup my drivers and some drivers were missing and they are very important. The drivers that are missing are:
1. Network Controller
2. BCM43142AO
Fortunately, the laptop was able to work out the internet via Ethernet Cable but the the laptop can't connect to the internet Wirelessly. Had been searching high and low for the driver...even the disk containing driver don't have the one I need. Therefore, i would really appreciate for those who could actually help by posting the drivers or give solutions.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
~Darren

Firstly thank you so much for replying to this post but the method you showed me didn't work. I tried re-installing windows but didn't work as well. Those drivers are really 'stubborn'. Any other ways?

Actually when i tried manually installing the drivers, it appears that the third driver that you gave me is not supported by the hardware? I am not sure how to go on now. Should I send it to the shop?

Please provide the hardware IDs are there are multiple wireless card variants in each Dell system. For instructions see here:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/downloading-drivers-checking-hardware-ids-and-downloading-and-installing-dell-system-drivers-in-the-correct-order/checking-hardware-ids-in-the-device-manager/
Also refer to driver installation order (I explain it in a bit more detail than the official Dell article):
