Inspiron N4010, Windows 7 32bit, Lan,Wifi,Bluetooth doesn't work?

OS: windows 7 (32bit), Dell inspiron N4010, Lan,wifi,bluetooth enabled on bios. Tried almost all network drivers but did not help. When i check device manager,a yellow error mark on network controller. Network controller>properties>general> no drivers are installed on this device. In details> value,shows only network controller. Please guide me on how to find the correct driver.

Thanks.

    The six year old 2011 Inspiron 14R-N4010 shipped with Windows 7 64bit. We never shipped Windows 7 32bit drivers =



    But in theory, all the Chipset drivers would need to be installed before any Network drivers. But since we did not offer 32bit drivers, it is a catch 22.

     I have a six year old 2011 Inspiron 14R-N4010 shipped with Windows 7 32bit.

     Fortunately, I still have the original CDs with the 32 bits drivers on it, so they do exist even if they are not distributed anymore on the Dell website.
