    I have bought the notebook about a year ago, and not long ago after vista began acting up and began my life hell I decided to reformat it and install a clean version of vista.

    The issue lies with the empowering tech software: I can access the internet just fine on a wired connection, but for wireless I have to install the eNet management addon.

    I managed to find the correct version of the framework and install it, however this is where the problems start: some of the addons install yet don't work or just crash (power management, security), some addons like the eNet management just won't install. I've tried getting that addon from different sites and when I try installing them they either say that the adapter was not found, or claim that I did not install the framework.

    I need the wireless connection for my university work, and would appretiate if someone could help me.

    Broadcom 802.11g Network adapter (As mentioned before)
    Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E ethernet

    The issue however is with the eNet software, I've already installed the modem's drivers after reformating.
