Need Driver for Retired Product

[sisterahall]

I am unable to log on my computer wirelessly. (No problem with the ethernet cord). In device manager there are three conflicts under Other Devices: Network Controller, PCI Device, PCI Simple Communications Controller. When I click on properties, they all have a Code 1. I've read on a few different sites that the drivers need to be updated or reinstalled. A couple of links took me to the HP site, but it says that my product has been retired. Is there any where I can get the drivers? Is this even what I need to connect wirelessly?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi:

You need these drivers...

Network Controller

PCI Device

This package contains the driver that enables the Realtek Card Reader in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

Thank you for the links to the drivers. This worked to update them. I no longer have the conflicts. However, I'm still unable to connect wirelessly. I don't know what else to check since I thought this was the problem.

Do you have any tips that I can use to connect to my wifi?

You're very welcome.

See if this newer driver gets the wireless to work...
