Mini Card Issues

Pie015

New Member
I have been pulling hair of my head (not literally) because I got Windows Server 2008 (NOT R2) and I can't connect to the internet because my Mini Card Wireless Adapter is not showing up on screen! This is a laptop so no opening and closing for me. And it worked on Windows 7 perfectly but not on WS2008
Can you help me find the drivers


EDIT: The Wireless Card is Ralink but I gone to the website and downloaded the software but it didnt work. How does Win 7 do it?

I'd recommend you connect to the internet directly with an ethernet cable, then see if device manager can find the driver for you. Also, if you can get online that way, update everything in Windows Update, since that might also find the right driver for you.

Hi there,


Navigate to Device Manager and go to Network Adapters and uninstall the current driver for Network Adapter and restart the computer. Once the computer restart the computer will install the new drivers for Network Adapter. Do that same for the ones that has a Yellow Exclamation mark.



Let me know if it works.
Thanks
