[JzimmaJzeetz]

Hi,

i have a problem with my new pavilion dm4 2195us. i bought it recently and it had a weird selection of partitions so i instaled new windows 7 (64 bit) and after that the problem occured.

my wireless is not working. the light on f12 key lights orange ( i guess that means that wireless adapter is unabeled) but i do not know how to turn it back on. i know that is functional coz wifi worked normally for few first days when i bought the laptop before i instaled new windows.

anyway, i saw that  theese informations/ids of of unknown and other devices could be  usefull so i'm just gonna copy it here and if somone can help me i would be very very greatful.

unknown devices ids:

USB\VID_138A&PID_0018&REV_0078

USB\VID_138A&PID_0018

network controller ids:

PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8176&SUBSYS_1629103C&REV_01

PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8176&SUBSYS_1629103C

PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8176&CC_028000

PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8176&CC_0280

ethernet controller ids:

PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_1083&SUBSYS_1650103C&REV_C0

PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_1083&SUBSYS_1650103C

PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_1083&CC_020000

PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_1083&CC_0200

and one more thing, i'm currently using external wifi antena (ALFA AWUS036NHR) so maybe some of theese ids are there becouse of it. i do not know much about this things so i'm mentioning it just i cas it could help the helper.

Hi,

You can try the HP driver at the link below which should work.

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...

If for some reason it doesn't install the Atheros wireless driver from your model Aspire from the Acer support site.
