Hi:
What model wifi adapter does your notebook have?
If you don't know, go to the device manager, click to expand the Network Adapters device manager category, and there you will find the name and model number of the wireless network adapter.
Please post the hardware ID for the unknown device, so I can figure out what driver is missing.
