MIssing my network controller driver after re-installed windows 7

If you are not sure which driver to download and where to download, then you may need to use an automatic driver finder tool.

Make sure that you have available internet connection when using this tool. If not, you may need another special tool called DriveTheLife for Network Card which would find and install network drivers witout internet connection.

Not sure if anyone is still following this thread, but I have the exact same problem and see the exact same thing in  my device manager as the pic above.   I  have downloaded all the recommended drivers from dell for my service tag, but the device manager still says I have no driver for the network controller.  I did a windows 7 reinstall after my hard drive crashed.  I have  a dell inspiron 3647, service tag: <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>, any help would be appreciated before I throw the think out and buy a new one.

Hi, I hope someone can find a solution to this problem, I have to re-installed windows 7 on my DELL Xps 17 due to a problem with Mcafee Software. Thinking that I would resolve one problem I end up with another one bigger than the first one, so know I am missing my network controller driver which I can not find any ware. That is the only drive that I need for my wireless to work, and I am going a bit mad here try to find a solution, Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I downloaded "Obit Driver Booster2" to update the drivers.

I have a issue where i reformatted my PC. I was wondering if you can help me.

Hello,

I too am experiencing this problem. A month after some software installs, my network controller died, no driver could be found on my PC. My system does not show Device Instance ID. I have a Device instance path. The numbers after those letters are 168 and 002. Please help! rgottlieb@excite.com
