I have recently installed vista and have lost my wireless network card, which is now showing as either a network controller or a unknown device inside device manager. Neither have drivers installed.
I have used Everest to try to find out the manufacturers name, make and model etc. No luck, again it says Network controller in there.
Can anybody recommend a program/method to find these details.
I have no device drivers on CD. Windows cannot find them either. (surprise)
Thanks

Tried the Belarc tool, but no network cards other than the two i already have are reconised.
Not to worry, just thought id try this before opening it up to read the details off the card.

If you can't find the name of the Wireless controller you could try a generic one or contact your pc manufacturer, if it's Dell or Hp and you put in your service tag or customer number the specs for the original configuation come up. From now on when doing any upgrades run belarc first and print it out it will show all cd keys, names and such. If all else fails go into Device driver and find it if it's there and rollback the driver. Another place you may find it is in the MS knowledge base I found this one at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823381/en-us it may help you

want extra guidance. There might desire to be some thing written on the cardboard someplace. The butterfly is only too familiar. under the words Intel has set for computing device-makers, machines that have all 3 Centrino components -- the Intel on the spot card besides using fact the Pentium M and linked chipset -- can carry the Centrino style and recreation the brightly colored, butterfly-shaped style that identifies it. you like the driving force for the cardboard.

Just Google the companys name and look for driver updates, put your network card model # and download it.
