Missing network controller driver After reinstalation of windows 7 on ispiron N4010
Hey guys, first time poster here. I recently reinstalled windows 7 on my dad laptop after he <ADMIN NOTE: Profanity removed as per TOU> it up beyond repair. After installing the appropriate drivers I still had no detection on my wlan adapter so I checked out the device list, and it says im missing drivers for two things: one is the network controller, the other is just listed as an unknown device.
I already installed every driver for the appropriate devices on the laptop, in the correct order, or as i could best manage it, but still no dice. The only network driver on the disk for my inspiron is one for an ethernet controller.
Am I missing something really obvious? is it a problem with the driver installation order? help, Pls, i had to loan my laptop to my dad and god knows what hes doing with it right now!
