Hi:
Please post the hardware ID for the network controller needing drivers and I will post the link to the latest W7 driver for it.
Your notebook can have one of several wireless cards installed so it is impossible to answer your question without knowing the hardware ID for the wireless card.
To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager and click on the network controller needing drivers and follow the guide below for where to find the hardware ID.

You're very welcome.
You did good for most of those drivers. There are no W7 drivers for the card reader and sound.
Go to the Intel site and run the driver update utility, which will find the latest W7 drivers for the Intel hardware in your notebook.
http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect
I would use the W7 Quick Lauch Buttons and Bluetooth software from the HP 6910 business notebook which should work fine on yours.

Hi:
This is the chipset driver I would install:
This is the wireless driver I would install (second one on the list...
15.8.0 | 5/23/2013 |

You have no broadcom hardware in your notebook.

Hiya,
I have again rescanned my sytem with Intel Update Utility and it showed me this....
Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility (Chipset INF)(Newer Driver Available)
If i click on Detailed Driver Description & Driver Documentation then this page opens https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=178&DwnldID=21486
(
3.6.1.38803.28
)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wireless Networking (WiFi)(Newer Driver Available)
Detailed Driver Description & Driver Documentation
If i click on Detailed Driver Description & Driver Documentation then this page opens https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=22116
But it shows newer driver available is 13.4.0.139 and when u click on the detailed driver description (above link) then it shows v15.3.1
15.3.1
And the link which u have provided is version 15.8.0. Then why Intel Update Utility showed me 13.4.0.139 for wireless networking wifi?
Which one to install DRIVERS ONLY version or Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software (includes Drivers)?
06-09-2013 01:22 PM
Hi:
Installing the one with the lesser file size is the driver only file (does not include Intel wireless control software).
No matter how recent the driver, your model wireless card will have a limit to the version that installs.
In other words, even though the driver version is 15.8.0, the most recent driver that will be installed for your specific card will be 13.4.0.139.
The same can be said of the chipset driver.
I always go for the latest file downlaod version and it will install the latest compatible drivers for my hardware.
They may not be the lastest drivers listed but the latest drivers the hardware can handle will be included in the download.
I hope that makes sense to you.
06-09-2013 01:36 PM
You have replied to Intel wireless but share your opinion on Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility (Chipset INF). Please reply to my previous post for the same.
