Gateway laptop.. can't find drivers

cubbyx · 09-02-2009, 02:14 PM

I got this gateway laptop model number W323-UI1 and i cant find the drivers for wireless and pretty much everything else. I checked their website and all it says is check the serial number.. Thats great cause the serial number was wrote on a tinfoil sticker and is long gone. This unit is running xp with sp2.

It keeps telling me I have little or no connectivity and I cant get anything for wireless drivers anywhere.

I checked the device manager and there is a network adapter there it says via rhine 2 fast ethernet adapter. I uninstalled it and when the computer restarted it installed again. The iconi in the bottom right says limited or no connectivity. 100 mbbs

It has a wireless internal cart too and it does not show up in the device manager. The card says broadcom on it. I tried to install an external cardbus wireless adapter with no avail. Installed the drivers and it shows up in the device manager says its not available.

Hi Cubbyx,
This is a tough one, but I believe this laptop is also known as a MX3228 on the Gateway site. A link is here:

If you could please run Everest under my signature and attach the report to the thread.
I then can see if these drivers will work for you.

Thanks,
Bill
