Have you checked in Device Manager to see if you need drivers for your wireless adapter?

Hi garara,
your original post is a bit hard to decipher - it would really be helpful if you could write with proper spelling and punctuation. Sorry, no offense.
But if I understand you right, your issue is that you only have wi-fi available but really want to use an Ethernet cable to connect. And from your screenshot it's very obvious that you need drivers for your Ethernet adapter, since Windows 7 didn't find any.
Probably because it didn't have Internet access to check for drivers online.
The easiest solution would be to temporarily connect your PC via wireless and allow Windows to update your driver by searching online. If that doesn't work then get back to us and we'll help you find a driver manually.

All your drivers are here: Gateway Support - Downloads & Support Documents - Notebook / NV Series / NV79
Just download and install the ones you need, which will be under Wireless LAN. You want the Atherous driver.
You can also click the Download Hardware Vendor Detection Utility at the top of the Gateway Support page for a breakdown of what hardware you have in your laptop.

seavixen32, it's not the wireless driver he needs...it's the Ethernet one.
Incidentally, there doesn't seem to be one listed on the Gateway page...hopefully that hardware detection utility gives some answers.

It looks to me like you have not installed your Chipset Drivers.
I think Gateway has the driver for the Gigabit LAN controller in the Chipset Drivers package. Have you installed this driver?
Did you reinstall Windows on this laptop? Some background info might help.
