Missing driver for "Network Controller" in my Inspiron 14Z 5423
Hello,
Can anyone please help me. I had to install Windows 7 after a hard drive failure. All my drivers are installed except one. In my device manager, under "Other Devices" there is a "Network Controller" that says the driver is not installed. This is stopping me from using Wi-Fi. I urgently need this driver information. The problem is that when I click on the details of the driver it does not give me any specifications on the name, type or manufacturer of the "Network Controller" so I do not know what to download. All my other networking hardware is working fine and the drivers are installed successfully.
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

Please provide the hardware IDs so I can identify what variant of wireless card you have:

Thanks so much the hardware seems to be working perfectly. I have another unknown device. It seems to be an USB port of some sort.
The hardware ID is:
USB\VID_0BDA&PID_0129&REV_3960
USB\VID_0BDA&PID_0129
Would you be able to help me in this regard or should I create another question?
Thanks in advance
