Wireless Driver not supporting
Hi,
My name is Harmeet Singh and I am using Dell Vostro 1014 (Windows 8.1 pro -64 bit) and suddenly its wifi card stopped working (not showing in device manager even) so I have inserted another working wireless card (Intel (R) Centrino (R) Advanced -N 6205) from Lenovo X220i laptop and after installing its driver it is showing yellow mark in device manager.
So I have formatted it and now I have installed Windows 7 Pro -64 bit but still same issue is there. I have tried many times with different drivers from different sites even from intel site but this issue is not resolving.
Can anyone help me in this issue?

This really is a bad situation, sounds like your drivers are wrong for intel card, but need to ask you couple more questions
- when using original wireless card is sit showing device manager?
- with Intel card , did you download from lenovo or intel site?
- what OS are you running?
- did you try to connect by lan and see if windows update finds the drivers?

1) I am using Windoes 7 Pro 64-bit.
2) Original wireless card was not showing in device manager that is why I have changed it.
3) I have downloded and installed drivers from both Intel site as well as lenovo but didn't get success. I am uninstalling them also so that they can not override each other.
4) I have tried to update windows also by connecting LAN but it is not getting update.

Thank you
I went to check Lenovo site for x220 and shows
ThinkPad Wireless LAN (802.11b/g/n) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad
3 different drives , first one shows 6250 card but you said 6205 i am assuming that is a typo.
Yellow exclamation sign means driver is wrong but system is detecting it which is good. can you please tell me the FRU number on the card ( part number)
This has a fix I am convinced, I solved many weird wifi issues.
Sorry I am asking you alot of questions3013

Hello Harmeet
When you said that its gone from device manager sound like your wifi card died.
What I think its better is when you installed Intel (R) Centrino (R) Advanced -N 6205) from Lenovo X220i
connect your laptop via LAN and delete all drivers for wifi card, reboot and while connected to LAN - (Wired) let windows detect the drivers and install the drivers
Hope that helps
