New Dell Inspiron 3520 Win 7 does not recognize wireless
Wednesday 12-12-12, purchased a Dell Inspiron 3520 with Windows 8. Installed Win 7 Home Professional and downloaded drivers for network communications. All loaded except Network Controller & BCM43142A0.
I have tapped Fn + F2 (to turn on wireless)
Device Manager has a yellow ! on these.
Trying to update driver over Internet or HDD gets = Windows could not find driver software for your device.
When I go to Network locations to connect to a network, it says, "No connections available".
When I click properties for "Network Controller", I get PCI bus 7, device 0, function 0,
No driver selected Code 28
Laptop only works with wired connection
Any solution to this

I found solution!!! The problem was with Windows 7 switching off wifi for power saving.
You need in adapter "Settings -> Power Management" tab to remove mark near option "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power"
Screenshot from here (Used it because I'm not from US and have different language) but it's the same option for everyone.
Solution remembered from other problem I had with other wifi adapter.
After this for power saving for wireless will be off, but it's always better to use hotkeys combination whenever you don't use wireless and work on battery.

This was a solution for Dell Inspiron 3520 with OS Windows 7 x64. But I think it can fix for the same device and normal drivers on any system :)

That will not work if the wireless card is not found. What worked for me was (downgrade from 8 to 7 64) for an Inspiron 3520 go to the downloads page

Make sure you install this from the modem comm section
It worked for me.

I'm running Server 2012 from Microsoft. Should be similar to Win8:
Locate Admin Tools on Control Panel and find System Information; you'll find all Network Adapter information under the Components section.
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools\System Information.lnk"
Alternatively run ipconfig /all from a command prompt; the MAC address will be listed as Physical Address.
