Solved Network Adapter not properly installed

Br0nze · Jul 15, 2016

I have been searching for the solution to my problem, which is very similar to this one.
I reformatted the c drive and used the original discs to reinstall what ever was on them. However, I now get the following message.
windows did not detect a properly installed network adaptor.
I have been device manager and there is no heading for network adaptor.
What are the steps necessary to get this working. I am obviously using another computer to access this forum.
Thank-you

I reformatted my c drive yesterday.
Now that i have the message "Install a driver for your network adapter".
Windows could not find a driver for your network adapter"

I have checked in device manager and there is no network adapter.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

I thank-you in advance for helping me resolve this problem.

Hi Bronze,
Open device manager, look for UNKNOWN that will be it.
Go to the home page for your model download the driver to the DESKTOP.
Then update the driver >> let me chose >> point to the download.

Thanks Roy
I have opened device manager there is not heading network adapters and no unknown anywhere.

I have now started the computer in safe mode and under network adapters i have WAN Miniport with 8 different options eg (IKEv2)
I do not know which of these i need a driver for.

Thanks for you assistance.

Did you read my post? You have to install drivers for Wireless cards. I'm not sure why the disk didn't install the driver but try the link.

7 does not have native drivers for wireless cards and don't use a third party program to get them. You need to download them from dell. Product Support | Dell US

Seems to me it would have to be detected to allow a driver to be installed...

I have a lenovo thinkpad Edge E520.

I will go to Lenovo and search for a wireless driver.

Br0nze · Jul 16, 2016

Do i get a network driver, a wireless WAN or a wireless LAN?
Thanks

If I were you I'd get the chipset driver first to hopefully get the wireless recognized in device manager.

Br0nze · Jul 16, 2016

Ok, where do i get a chipset driver please?

You're welcome, give this a try,

Br0nze · Jul 16, 2016

I will try this and let you know.
Many Thanks

derekimo · Jul 16, 2016

There seems to be a few different wireless drivers, after you install that chipset and restart, can you do this,

Upload the file it creates and we can get the right drivers.

Br0nze · Jul 16, 2016

I downloaded the files from the link you sent. I have transferred them to a USB stick and then opened them on the Lenovo. When transferring [copy and paste] it indicted that some files could not be transferred!
I opened the file run as administrator and I now have the following message "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will exit.
Once again I do not know what to do. If you have the patience Derekimo, I am truely appreciative of you your assistance.

Many thanks

Alright, let's see what you have first,

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/374583-system-information-file-create-windows.html#Part1

I was going by what you said on the model but maybe there is something more.

Can you do that tutorial on your computer that needs the drivers, you'll have to transfer the file but it will give us the hardware ID's we need.

Br0nze · Jul 16, 2016

Derekimo, you are wonderful.
Here is the file.

OK, I'm going to move these posts over to your thread,

http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/398516-network-adapter-not-properly-installed.html

The first thing I see is that entering this on the Lenovo site,

Code:

System Manufacturer	LENOVO
System Model	3259CTO

Brings up an E530 not the E520,

All these devices need drivers,

Code:

BCM20702A0	USB\VID_0A5C&PID_21F3\2016D8D8A581	The drivers for this device are not installed.
Standard VGA Graphics Adapter	PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DE3&SUBSYS_500117AA&REV_A1\4&2D70F19&0&0008	This device cannot start.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller	PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E31&SUBSYS_500017AA&REV_04\3&11583659&0&A0	The drivers for this device are not installed.
PCI Device	PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5229&SUBSYS_500017AA&REV_01\4&C587ECB&0&00E0	The drivers for this device are not installed.
PCI Simple Communications Controller	PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E3A&SUBSYS_500017AA&REV_04\3&11583659&0&B0	The drivers for this device are not installed.
Ethernet Controller	PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_500017AA&REV_07\4&12110200&0&00E3	The drivers for this device are not installed.
Network Controller	PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4359&SUBSYS_060714E4&REV_00\4&1BEFDF2B&0&00E1	The drivers for this device are not installed.
SM Bus Controller	PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E22&SUBSYS_500017AA&REV_04\3&11583659&0&FB	The drivers for this device are not installed.

So lets get started,

This one first,

Intel(R) Chipset Device Software for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad Edge E430, Edge E430c, Edge E530, Edge E530c, Lenovo B430 - Lenovo Support (US)

Then this one,

http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/pro...Pad-Edge-E530/3259/3259CT0/downloads/DS028709

The top links are the drivers, the bottom ones are just readme notes.

Br0nze · Jul 16, 2016

Hi Derekimo,
I have downloaded and installed both of those links. I still do not have a network adapter, but maybe that is the next step.

The read the model of the computer from the invoice.!!
