Hi:

 

If the Wi-Fi card needs a driver, there will be a device listed in the device manager labeled as a Network Controller.

 

In Danish probably a Netværkscontroller.

 

Find that device and please post the hardware ID for it, so I can figure out what driver it needs.

 

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