Hi:
Go to the device manager. When the wifi adapter is missing a driver, there will be a device listed under an Other Devices category, labeled as a Network Controller. The Network Controller device will have a little ! mark next to it.
Please post the hardware ID for the Network Controller device, and I will then post the link to the W7 wifi driver you need.
Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device...
