Wireless Completely gone

I installed windows 7. I orginally had windows xp and I'm using the intel pro wireless 2915abg chip to connect. After installing windows 7 it completely did not recognize it and is not using it. When I go to network and sharing it doesn't show that i have a wireless connection at all. I'm having lots of trouble finding the right driver if anyone has a solution or is having the same problem let me know.

Hi, why not let Intel scan your system to see what needs updating. "Automatically identify and find drivers".

See how you go with that.

This device is unknown or unsupported. Please contact the manufacturer for possible updates is what I got from intel. And a bunch of other drivers popped up saying the same thing but their working fine.

Is this onboard?, if so, try looking on the Motherboard Manufacturer's site, and see if its got a motherboard driver, should cover everything.

I checked out the asus site but it didn't have the windows 7 - 64 bit drivers for the chip however i noticed somewhere on Microsoft's site that the Intel wireless chip is compatible i just can't find a way to get it going.

This is a long shot, but sometimes using the "sfc /scannow" command can sometimes find certain generic drivers on your hard drive to try to work with it. I say this because as a last resort I did this on a friends computer, worked like a charm.

Uhm...

This command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem.
I dunno how that worked out, a system file went corrupt, and SFC fixed it, which allowed the driver to function properly?

I dunno, but funny that it worked.
