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

Hi George,
After the operating system is installed in the new hard drive, the drivers should be installed in correct order for proper functionality of the hardware components of the computer. Please use this link which shows the right order: http://dell.to/YHndJF
While following the order mentioned above in the link, install the Network card drivers from here: http://dell.to/1cHx0oK
Please post the results.

Hi hamzagabar,
To assist you further, please provide the system model.
Also, I suggest you to copy the drivers on a Disk or a flash drive by following the below mentioned steps from a different computer and install the drivers from the Disk/USB flash drive in the laptop:
Try connecting to the internet after installing the drivers and post the results.

I'm having the exact same problem. I have a Latitude E6430 with Windows 7 32-bit installed. The Network Controller has the following values:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0082&SUBSYS_13218086&REV_34
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0082&SUBSYS_13218086
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0082&CC_028000
PIC\VEN_8086&DEV_0082&CC_0280
When I put in my service tag, it suggested that I install the Intel WIDI application (WIDI 3.5.40.0.A03), but I received an install abort error during the install. The error message was "This platform is not compatible with Intel (R) WIDI or application is in use.
I would like to get the Network controller driver installed so I can use my wireless connection.

Refer the following link to install drivers for 6205 WLAN card: http://dell.to/1doFnnK
Select Download file and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
Restart the computer and try connecting to Wireless network.

Hi DELL-Nikhil D,
I went to that link and downloaded the 6205 WLAN card driver. It installed without any problem. I restarted my computer and still no connection to Wireless networks. I also confirmed that the "NETWORK CONTROLLER" is still needing a driver from my Device Manager.
I also noticed that this 6205 WLAN card driver indicates its for a 64 bit Windows 7 OS. I have installed a 32 bit Windows 7 OS, could that be the problem? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
mike1847

With the information you provided, I was able to find a driver by searching the Dell site. The correct driver that worked for me was located at www.dell.com/.../DriverDetails. Thanks.

My Dell Inspiron Duo is also suffering the same problem after a reinstall of Windows. I have a yellow exclamation mark after the Network Controller in Device Manager (and another entry underneath which says 'Unknown device' - also with yellow exclamation mark).
I have downloaded the three drivers R283212, R283215, and R297914 on another computer, and have attempted to reinstall via USB. There is no CD/DVD drive on this model.
The numbers for the Network controller are VEN_14E4&DEV_4727
My Service Tag is [redacted]. The computer was bought in Hungary sometime last year, though I am in the UK. I reinstalled Win7 Home Premium SP1 two days ago, and have had this problem ever since.
Would you be able to help me?
Regards,
KTUK.

Hello Saharsh,
Thank you for your reply. It is a 32-bit system, sorry. I have sorted out the 'unknown device' entry (accelerometer).
Screenshot can be seen here: http://www.imageshack.com/scaled/large/542/13i6.png (Sorry, the file size was too big, so I couldn't put it here). In case you cannot click on an external link, I can tell you that under 'Other devices' there is only 'Network Controller' with the yellow exclamation mark. There is no separate entry for Network Controller, other than this.
The hardware IDs are:
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_00101028&REV_01
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_00101028
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC028000
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC0280
I hope this helps.
Regards,
KTUK
