What Driver Do I Need!!???

All right, I've been looking through the forum and other places online for days, and I've tried at least 20 drivers at this point.


Here's what happened: My WLAN adapter died, and my grandfather (who repairs computers) had another dell with an apparently matching card in it.  I switched them out, and yet I can't find the right driver to make the new card work. 

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron N4010.  The other laptop is a Dell Inspiron M5040.  The hardware IDs of the new card are:

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&SUBSYS_02051028&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&SUBSYS_02051028
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&CC_0280

Compatible IDs are:

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B
PCI\VEN_168C&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&CC_0280
PCI\VEN_168C
PCI\CC_028000
PCI\CC_0280

It shows up in my Device Manager as "Network Controller", along with a "Generic Bluetooth Adapter" that wasn't there before.  The numbers for the bluetooth bit are:

USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3002&REV_0001
USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3002
 
(Hardware) and

USB\Class_E0&SubClass_01&Prot_01
USB\Class_E0&SubClass_01
USB\Class_E0
(compatibility).

I'm running windows 7, 64 bit.

PLEASE let me know what my computer needs to make this run.  I've tried running several programs to detect missing drivers, I've tried the hardware diagnostic on Dell's site, I've tried updating from the Device Manager itself, NOTHING. WORKS.  This is very frustrating.

Thank you,

Ellie
