CF18 MK4 - Network Controller Driver after Win 7 install

Hello All,

I am new here and have been reading some forums on how to install Win 7 32 bit on cf 18. I believe the ones i read where for mk4 but was hoping someones could share some knowledge/ solutions for my issue. I installed Win 7 on a CF18 mk4. I installed most drivers from cf19 mk3 but device manager still shows driver needed for network controller. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Jonathan

Read, read, read and then dive in accordingly.

 

Hi , appreciate the reply. That is the guide i was using / tried but somehow still missed it. I will try all over again. hopefully with better luck this time

 

Is the network controller for the WIFI or for the LAN?

 

Hi Shawn,
Apologies if I'm not very descriptive but i am not very tech savvy . When i click on the detwork controller listed under device manager. The hardware id listed is "pci ven_8086&dev_4223 rev_05"
When i connect the computer through an ethernet cable, i get access to internet but i can not seem to find a driver to make wifi work. I have tried the steps listed to install windows 7 one by one in the order given and for some reason the problem still persists. Not sure if there are any other recommendations ...

 

Intel WIFI card 2915.

try the Vista driver

From the above linked thread
As far as I remember I used:
For wifi lan Intel® PRO/Wireless 2915ABG: vista driver from Intel..

Aviator, I don't have a Windows computer, but I think that after you download the driver Shawn linked for you above, just right click in Device Manager and there should be an option for re-installing the driver. You would point the system to your download driver and then add it. Reboot, and hopefully good to go.
