[SOLVED] Network controller driver

jools · 08-16-2008, 09:04 AM

I recently reformatted a laptop to Xp. I had the driver disc that came with the computer but for some reason even after instaling all the drivers on the disc it still shows in the Device Manger that the 'Network Controller' is missing the driver. At first I though this was the ethernet card, but the drivers for that are instaled and working. What exactly is the Network Controller? Thanks guys!

Hello jools...
Do you have wireless driver on CD???
If not, visit manufacturer's Web Site and download wireless driver for your model of laptop...

Got it! It was the WiFi driver (Intel website). You guys come through once again! I love this site.
