Suggested wireless driver does not match
Have installed Windows 7 64-bit on http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/latitude-3440-laptop - most stuff works as expected but I can't find wireless driver. Linked page suggests one but it fails to install with "wrong operating system" error.
Hardware IDs:
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_020C1028&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_020C1028
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&CC_0280
When I boot the same laptop from live Linux flash drive this wireless adapter gets recognized as Atheros QCA9565 and seems to work out of the box with no issues.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, worked perfectly.
Out of curiosity - do you know why "official" driver is wrong? There are different variants of this laptop?
