Hello,
I recently reinstalled Windows 7 64-Bit on my sister's computer and now I cannot connect her to wi-fi.
In the device manager both the Network Controller and SM Bus Controller have yellow warnings next to them.
The hardware ids are as follows, respectively:
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8176&SUBSYS_1629103C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8176&SUBSYS_1629103C
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8176&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8176&CC_0280
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C22&SUBSYS_165B103C&REV_05
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C22&SUBSYS_165B103C
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C22&CC_0C0500
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C22&CC_0C05
I've tried all the drivers listed by HP but none seem to work. Any help is appreciated.
