HP Pavilion g6-1390sa Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

I have had to re-install Windows 7 Home Premium on this notebook PC. However, the network drivers are missing. So, in device manager there are exclamation marks alongside each of the devices in the "Network Adaptors" folder. Where can I find the correct drivers for this setup? If I could find them online I could download them on another PC and tranfer them onto a memory stick and install from there. Help!!! MalcCR2

You're very welcome.

 

What you do next is to install these drivers...

 

The first one (Realtek PC!e FE Family Controller) already has a driver installed, so you should be able to connect by ethernet cable.

 

Network Controller:  Ralink Wireless LAN Controller

PCI Device:   Realtek Card Reader

PCI Simple Communications Controller:  Intel Management Engine Interface 

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52794.exe

 

SM Bus Controller:  Intel Chipset Installation Utility  **NOTE** Install this driver first and restart the PC.

Hi:

 

There is no information online regarding the model wifi adapter your notebook comes with.

 

On that list of devices with ! marks next to them, the wifi adapter will be labeled as a Network Controller.

 

Please post the hardware ID for the network controller device, so I can figure out what driver it needs.

 

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device.

You need this driver for the ethernet (wired) adapter...
