Issue<Successfully Resolved>: In device manager, you will see 2 unknown devices.

 

  1. Network Controller
  2. PCI SIMPLE COMMUNICATION CONTROLLER

 

You will not be able to update the driver from Windows Update or any other source, possibly. This issue has been found specifically for TM2-2050US. The OS would be Windows 7 (64-bit).

 

One interesting thing that you will notice is there was no FAX/Modem shipped with this model. Hence, you might be confused with the PCI driver.

 

You will be able to see the following entry in the details tab in the Dev Mgr.

 

  1. Go to device manager and select the NETWORK CONTROLLER from unknown devices.
  2. Right click on it and select "Properties." Now, click on "Details" tab. Click on the drop down and select ‘Hardware ID.’
  3. Right click on both the unknown devices one by one and click uninstall.
  4. Click on Action >> Scan for hardware changes.

 

Now, click on the below links one by one and install the drivers after downloading them

You need to download and install the wireless drivers for the Broadcom device. You may try one of the following drivers depending upon the OS installed.

hi man, i had a rather wierd issue with my wireless controller. it would freeze on me when i turned the Wi Fi on .mouse, keyboard anything! and so i would have no other option but to hardboot the system back on and disable the adapter.i havent been using the my wi fi  in order to stop the sensless system freezes..so i used this solution you posted out of desperation to get it working again and it seems to work for my current problem. incidentally, my system is a pavilion g6 -1052si 64bit! thanks in advance (although ill see what happens in the next few days and see it it really worked or not). great post!! :generic:

Hi,

 

I followed both steps but I could only successfully install the first one. When I try to download the second one I get an error message saying: "This computer does not the minimum requirements for installing the software.

 

What do I do in this instance? My wifi was working at first before I installed the  Windows 7 Ultimate.

 

Please help.
