Network Driver Not Found

[PranayBansal]

Hello.

I have an HP Pavillion Dv6 Notebook PC. I had recently re-installed Windows 7 to fix some problems. I was able to install the drivers except the Wirless and Bluetooth ones. I am able to connect to internet only through a LAN Cable connected directly through the modem. WiFi and Bluetooth are not working. When I open Device Manager, it shows a yellow triangle in front of Network Controller. When I try to install the Network controller Driver, it says Driver Not Found.

Could someone please help me with this?

Hi:

Please post the hardware ID for the Network Controller device, and then I will post the link to the driver you need for it.

Use this guide for how to find that information...

Looking at the screenshot you posted there is no bluetooth driver needed, as I don't see Bluetooth Radios device manager category.

Hi:

Here is the link to the wifi driver you need...

This package contains the driver installation package for the Realtek RTL8188CE wireless LAN Controller in the supported notebook models running a supported operating system.
