Hi, xx:

Please post the hardware ID for the Network Controller with the little yellow ! mark in the device manager.

If you don't know where to find the hardware ID, please read the info at the link below.

Hi:

That is the wired network adapter, not the wireless one.

What you are looking for is not listed in the network adapters section.

It is all by itself in the device manager. It may be under Other Devices listed as a Network Controller.

[xxsarinaxx]

is it this one?

Nope.

It will look just like the first one you posted.

It will start with the PCI\VEN...
