Hi,
I have an HP laptop and it was having Windows 8 installed. It was very slow therefore I installed windows 7. After the downgrade I am not able to Connect to LAn OR Wireless n/w. I think there are some drivers missing. Can anyone please suggest which drivers should I use?

Hi Paul,
First of all, thanks for replying to my post. I will try these drivers and update you soon. Only one little change, the urls starting with ftp:// are not working, I tried to replace ftp:// with https:// and it worked. 🙂
