MIssing my network controller driver after re-installed windows 7
Hi, I hope someone can find a solution to this problem, I have to re-installed windows 7 on my DELL Xps 17 due to a problem with Mcafee Software. Thinking that I would resolve one problem I end up with another one bigger than the first one, so know I am missing my network controller driver which I can not find any ware. That is the only drive that I need for my wireless to work, and I am going a bit mad here try to find a solution, Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the help! It is not working though. Just realized that there are more exclamation marks showing up in the Device Manager. We need to fix them as well? :) Maybe I should post the Hardware ID:s for them?

Hi KTUK,
This might be a hardware issue. Seems like the wireless card is not getting detected by the system. You may try re-seating the wireless card. Please refer the Service Manual http://bit.ly/14ehwPT.

Hello
I have same issue and tried provided solution but no luck.
I have paid to DELL to send me a recovery USB, but no luck and dell also sent me Windows CD, no luck.
Can someone please help. PCI card adaptor drivers are missing and can't install from drivers CD and also on the PCI card properties, I have noticed that MANUFACTURER is defaulted as UNKNOWN....is that an issue and if YES why it is not reading the MFG name.
