need network controller driver for elitebook 8540w after reinstalling windows 7 64 bit

[lilleylady7]

I reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on my elitebook 8540w. I had previously installed windows 10 before realizing my model was not supported. Now I just need the drivers for the network controller so that I can then download any additional drivers and updates needed. I've let this laptop sit for the past 3 years before finally deciding to try to use it by reverting to windows 7. I did a clean install and all is well so far. The hardware ids listed are:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4238&SUBSYS_11118086&REV_35_

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4238

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4238&CC_028000

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4238&CC_0280

Your help is much appreciated!

Hi:

You need this driver for that ID...

This package contains drivers required to enable functionality of the Intel Wireless LAN adapter on supported notebooks with supported operating systems.
