New install of Windows 7 – cannot get wireless adapter to work

Samsung notebook NC110. Installed Win 7 Ultimate from ISO found on internet. All seemed to install ok, wouldn’t accept product key printed on notebook label so skipped that step. Boots ok and appears to be normal working Windows 7 except in device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark next to ‘Ethernet Controller’’ Network Controller’ & ‘Video Controller’. Drivers missing I think. Have downloaded a few drivers which looked as though they might be suitable and installed via usb but cannot get any further, still no wireless. The aerial led on the notebook is illuminated so I presume the wireless adapter is working but Windows cannot see it. Any help appreciated.

What is the device ID ?

You can find it in msinfo32>components>problem devices



Then File>Export and will export that id to a text file for you



You can search the internet for the device id.

I will take a guess it is these:

Installed Win 7 Ultimate from ISO found on internet.

It is probably better to ask for one, because that might be dodgy.

Drivers page shows three for wireless. Atheros, Broadcom, Intel.
Came with Win 7 Starter.
