WLAN Doesnt Work

smanji · 09-06-2008, 04:45 AM

hey all,
i have a Toshiba p25 s526
i recently installed vista on it but have a problem with the drivers for the WLAN.
it doesn't seem to be switched on and functioning, vista says its the driver.
i have searched for a driver, they install but don't work correctly
when i go to device manager. its shows me that Ethernet controller driver is not installed. i am assuming thats the problem because on xp everything was fine...
could anybody help me with a way to fix this... my apartment has wireless but now i cant access it...
thanks

Go to Toshiba and see if they have a Vista driver for that machine's wireless. If they don't, that's probably going to be an issue.
