Solved Ethernet and wireless card drivers for NP355E5C-A04US

[Jimb]

Hi my hard drive crashed and I put windows 7 on my NP355E5C-A04US Samsung pc. the drivers for the Ethernet and wireless card for win.7 were not made because of it coming with win.8
The wireless card in the machine is Atheros AR5B225-REV Mo1
I read directions on how to find usable drivers but there so complicated I can't seem to follow them. Is there a easier way to find the usable drivers.
Thank you very much for any help. Jim

I cant get the laptop online to use that driver reviver program that the hyperlink you posted takes me to.
If I change the wireless adapter part would it help?

Hi there ... Do you know any one who would let you use their Computer .. So as you could Download the Driver .. Then use a Flash Drive or Disc to transfer it to your Computer ? .. Not sure what you mean by change the Adapter part ? Do you mean buy a new one ?..

What I was trying to say is that the laptop wont go online so any driver finder program won't work from another computer because it will be looking for drivers for that computer. I was wondering if anyone had found after market drivers that were compatible. I believe if I can't get a compatible Ethernet driver there is no way to get it to access the internet. Thanks

Not sure what program you are talking about, that link goes right to the driver page for me.

We don't recommend driver finding programs anyway, what maxie was saying was to download the above linked driver and save it on a flash drive or CD and move it to the laptop.

Then you can install the driver once you move it.

Hi there .. You are clicking on the wrong Link .. Scroll down the page to you see the following .>>>> 32bit INF file (netathr.inf) from Atheros driver version 10.0.0.270 [589 KB]
64bit INF file (netathrx.inf) from Atheros driver version 10.0.0.270 [592 KB]

Just below that Click Download ...

Thank you I should not have been so dense, I have only been working on computers for 35 years HAHA.
It looks like it will work without the Ethernet Controller since I only have wireless access anyway.
All I have to do now is find the USB driver and see if there is a compatible Display adapter.Windows update may find one but I will be surprised because it was designed for Win8.
Thank you very much Maxie and Derekimo for all your help.

Most welcome .. I will look around and see if i can find the Drivers ...

 

[Jimb]

There were No other drivers at windows update. I will look other places, It looks like the default display adapter is working very well. Thanks for looking also.

 

[maxie]

Your other Adapter is Graphics AMD Radeon HD 7520G .. You can get the Driver from AMD Website ...

 

[Jimb]

It worked perfect I will see if the usb ports fire up after running windows update. I don't think they will because of the exclamation mark in device manager. Your help is much appreciated. I will mark this as Solved.

Most welcome .. Any Devices that are missing after your Updates ... Select them in the Device Manager then right click / Select Property's / Details Tab / You will see a PC ID Post them here ..

 

[Jimb]

The only one I see close to that is Hardware IDS.
I have to go back on shift till Monday if its OK I will get the info on Monday.

 

[maxie]

Hi there ... Monday is fine .. It is the Hardware ID i am after .. It will start with PCI / Some thing ..
