    Long story short my friend really screwed up his new p-173 laptop. He ended up reformating his laptop and he never got a drivers disc so we've been individually downloading the ones that are not on gateways website, and we cannot find the network driver. He's contacted gateway twice through their website live chat help; they've sent him links both times but they've never worked. We've looked all over google and can't seem to find anything about it.

    We need help! Thanks.

    Did you ever find a network controller (wireless) driver? I've found tons, by different makers, for the p173fx. NONE work under vista... I cannot get wifi working after a fresh install.... any ideas? gateway site has nothing working, links above have nothing working...
