Go to SolutionMissing drivers after installing win7
Hi guys,
i have a dell vostro 3350, and swtiched recently from ubuntu to 64-bit win7.
After installing win7 on my notebook, there are still some drivers missing (ethernet, USB, SM bus and few unrecognized). I tried downloading the network driver on another notebook and installing it manually but i get the following problem (WiMAX not ready). Can someone help me or tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Dell usually sell Linux systems with Intel Adapters so try the following 3 dirvers:
Intel(R) WiFi Link 6200 | Intel(R) WiFi Link 6300 | Intel (R) WiMax Link 6150 | WLAN 1000 | Intel (R) WiMAX Link 6250 http://downloads-us.dell.com/FOLDER94453M/12/R291975.exe
Centrino Advanced-N 6230 | Centrino Wireless-N 1030 http://downloads-us.dell.com/network/R311898.exe
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 Bluetooth Adapter http://downloads-us.dell.com/network/R292538.exe
Hi DELL-SUJATHA K,
thx for the quick answer. I installed all the listed drivers in the given order, as you said, and it helped. LAN, USB and other functionalities are working fine now except for WLAN. I still can't connect to a wireless network, there aren't even any listed. What could be the problem?
Best regards,
xpd

Hi xpd,
I would like to know if you have installed all the drivers after installing windows 7. In case it is not installed, I suggest you to install by clicking on the link given below:

Please restart the system after downloading each driver. Install the System software which is available under ‘System Utilities’ first, then install Chipset (HM67 Express Chipset Family).
You can also go through this link for all the required drivers download and also the order in which it has to be installed.
