Ron Paul Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Recently installed Windows 7 on my netbook, it installed I guess, but the thing is that the Netbook used Ubuntu 12.04 and now it's running Windows 7. Now my internet driver is gone. I went to Device Manager, and I have no Network Driver or anything. The only thing I see is a Network Controller that's listed under 'Other Devices' and it has an '!' point in a yellow triangle. Wat do. Only thing I need to find out is what my driver is, and idk how.

^TheRumor^ Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 You need to install a network driver from your manufacturer's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

^TheRumor^ Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 What happens when you double click on the device and hit "update driver" from the device manager window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Paul Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 What happens when you double click on the device and hit "update driver" from the device manager window? It asks if I have the driver on removable storage, or if it's on my computer to browse for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadis Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 tell us the manufacturer and model number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Easier, please do this, Tell us: 1. Operating System (Windows 7, XP, Vista??? , 32 bit or 64-bit) 2. Device ID To get it: Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager Start -> Control PAnel -> View By: Small/Large Icons -> Device Manager Find the network adapter with the ! beside it and right click, hit properties. Select the tab 'Details' -> In the dropdown menu, select Hardware ID, right click on the first entry and hit 'Copy' and paste it back This will give us the info we need, it should look like this: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&SUBSYS_047E1028&REV_04 (although not exactly xD) VEN = vendor DEV = device type Subsys = variant, usually apparent for manufacturers who are OEMs. REV = revision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma# Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 This download link: ftp://WebUser:[email protected]/cn/wlan/8188_8192_CE_WindowsDriver_1005.36.0417.2012.zip This should get you the driver you need. Extract it and install it. If it doesn't work, we may need to manually install the driver.
