Hi:
I don't believe that the model Wi-Fi card your notebook has will work on W7 unless you mask some pins on the card.
You have to mask off pin 54 and 56.
They are right next to each other, so if you turn the card upside down and count from the edge furthest away from the 2 notches, count nine pins in and then mask off the next 2 pins that should be 54 and 56.
Here's a YouTube video that shows the procedure:
Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure.

Here are the links to the W7 drivers you requested:

Bluetooth: You didn't ask for the driver, but you will need it in order for the BT to work.
