nilay_rupala,
I do not see Windows 8 64-bit drivers for this model.
Did you try the Vista 74-bit drivers in the Vista SP2 Compatibility mode or the Windows 7 64-bit drivers in the Windows 7 Compatibility mode?
When you installed the operating system, did you install the Dell System Software(if applicable) and the chipset drivers first? If not, the rest of the drivers will fail to install. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order
Start with the Dell System Software and the chipset drivers and follow the list.

nilay_rupala,
Go to Drivers & Downloads enter your service tag, select your operating system, under network, look at previous versions, in the third column and click on it. Download the earliest version on the drivers you can find. Download the drivers and save them to your desktop.
Hit the Windows key and the x keys at the same time, device manager, network adapters, right click on YOUR ADAPTER, left click uninstall. Tell it to remove the software and drivers.
Restart your computer. When you login, the new hardware wizard will try to install the adapter but fail. Install the drivers saved to your desktop.
