    I've looked high and low for them, I can't find this model number anywhere, on the panasonic site, I just installed windows 7 on it, I'm trying to get drivers for the wireless or and for the buttons on the front of it for brightness/lock/keyboard etc.

    it's a core 2 duo version

    Try the mk4 drivers for win7..You will have to manually unpack the archive in order for it to install on a mk3.
    If by wireless, you mean WIFI, you can get the latest drivers from Intel.

    Might u be able to link me? and what do you mean manually unpack, and my model is a mk4, and what am i downloading from intel?

    basically, I'm looking for some sort of way to have internet access, on the go at work. I'm not sure the difference between WLAN/wireless/wifi.

    now i heard something about GOBI? is that something I have to pay for? It's like satellite internet? could someone explain this to me

    Ok if this is your model number then you do not have a wireless card installed unless the last owner installed one so no internet until you install one...sorry

    The highlighted text I quoted shows that the model cf 19 you bought does not have a wireless(internet access)(WLAN) card. You will have to get one put in.
    The download from Intel is the drivers needed to run an internet card.
    Gobi (WWAN) is "satellite" wifi and yes you would have to pay for that.

    You will need to use a program to open the file like 7Zip

    intel or Panasonic

    Your best bet is to read the Sticky's at the start of this forum and to better understand what WLAN, wireless and wifi is use Google.

    Okay thanks for the help so from my understanding


    For wireless ( I have to pay 40-80 a month from a carrier like sprint) and have internet anywhere

    And for wifi. I need to buy something like a Amazon.com: Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Adapter (AE3000): Computers & Accessories

    cause I dont have a wifi card?

    So i can't get no internet access remotely without using a hardwire connection till i do either one of them?

    The download from Intel is the drivers needed to run an internet card.

    What did u mean by this

    I'm sorry if i'm not understanding correctly guys thanks for the help tho

    What he means if you had a intel internet card installed in your 19 this is what you need to install to make it work

    Besides what's showing in bios and device manager the only way to be 100% sure is to pull the back panel and take a look.
