[SOLVED] S.O isn´t recognizing my Wireless adaptor SONY VAIO

Zkor · 02-25-2009, 06:07 PM

Hello and thanks for receiving me at this Forum

I format my laptop and install xp on it... im having trouble with my wireless connection. I have already downloaded all drivers from sony website and everything is fine except for my wireless.

My hardware device manager doesn´t even recognize it. I download Everest software and what i´ve got is
"Device Description Type:
LAN-Express AS IEEE 802.11g miniPCI Wireless Adapter PCI".

Seems like that´s the wireless i have, can anyone help me how to make windows recognize it.

Y laptop is a VGN-710/W SONY VAIO with an :
Motherboard Chipset Intel Alviso-G i910GML

Thanks
Zkor

Hello,

I see you installed the drivers for your pc but, Did you installed the drivers for the wireless card?

To check this Go to Start, Control Panel, Network and Internet Connections, Network Connections.

Do you see the NIC card there?

If the card it's not in Network Connections then the problem may be:

a) the drivers for that card are not installed or installed incorrectly
b) the card its not sited correctly
c) damaged card

Also try to re-install the whole setting of your network. Since you formatted the HD Im sure the settings are gone and you'll have to re-install all the Drivers for the Router, NIC card and every network component. Good Luck.

Post result if they work to help others please, Thank you.

Finally i fix it...
The problem was that the card was installed yet.. so i download a package from intel that contains all wireless card drivers

Thanks for the info.. i dont have the link right now where i download it.
