Are you using the driver from your Support page? Option 1 will scan & try to find missing driver. Option 2 lets you see the list of drivers and install manually.

Yes, I used the drivers from my support page. I tried the first option - nothing. I tried the second option - nothing too. When I choose my model, the 2 options ( OS: Windows ; Version: Win7 and Win8.1 ) there are no Win8 option and I can't choose it. I tried to install the WLAN driver from the Windows 8.1 64bit package but without success. I'm geting error and nothing more. 😞  

Device PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_B723&SUBSYS_2231103C&REV_00\4&3511be14&0&00E5 - this is information about this missing driver for network controller.
