    Windows 7 doesn't Detect Wireless Adaptor


    I have just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit at my laptop and I tried to connect to my wireless network....

    I went to the Control Panel and I saw the Connection Adaptors and only the Ethernet Adaptor was shown...

    I have installed the Appropriate Drivers and it wasn't there again!



    Help Please!

    A little more detailed information about the laptop may be helpful.
    make/model type stuff.

    Did you download and install the Atheros Wireless Lan Driver v 8.0.0.279 from here?:
    Lenovo Ideapad Support & downloads - Drivers & Downloads

    If you did and that didn't work then read and try this:
    Network Controller and PCI Simple Communications Controller issues

    There could be a bad patch of Atheros drivers out there.
