I've just installed Windows 7 Ultra on my Dell XPS 400 system.
Everything loaded and working fine except on Device Manager I noticed something.
I'm missing a driver and it isn't available.
It is listed under other devices and listed as USB Powerline Bridge.
Does anyone know what this device is and how I can get a driver for this?

Welcome!

Powerline USB Bridge is a wireless adapter. Try updating your network adapter drivers.

Still there.

First, create a restore point. Then uninstall the network adapter drivers. Is it still there?

I ran Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and it had this device listed as unknown.
I'm not even sure what this is.
Everythin else on this computer is compatible except this unknown device.

I must confess I do not know. You can reinstall those drivers, now.
