    WiFi Adapter Missing


    So my only network adapter showing under device manager is the Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller.

    No matter what I do (numerous restarts, run as administrator, etc) I cannot get the WiFi adapter to download from the HP site.

    I have an HP G6-1b79dx Windows Professional x64.

    I click through the agreements, I overwrite existing files as I've tried this multiple times, it downloads (sometimes says it installed incorrectly but I ignore it as it says) and then I restart. When I'm back on, no changes or installation at all occurred.

    Then download the Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver .. Not the WiFI Driver
