Recently reinstalled windows 7 32bit to my laptop. I am currently unable to access my internet using both ethernet and wifi. I check my device manager and my ethernet controller has a yellow symbol next to it. I been searching around and havent been able to find the right driver for this.

Hi:
You need this driver...
This package provides the Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver that enables the Realtek Network Interface Card (NIC) Chip in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

The parts list for your notebook indicates that it comes with a Ralink wifi card, so you would need this driver for that device.
But there should be a device labeled as a Network Controller as well if the wifi card is missing a driver...
This package contains the driver installation package for the Ralink Wireless LAN Controllers in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.
