Issue with my friend's Network Adapter

[Duckman5]

So my Friend recently upgraded his old Laptop (Dell Latitude C840) from Win XP to Windows 7 32bit. The only issue was that his network adapter was not being recognized. He couldn't connect to the Internet either wirelessly nor through Ethernet. I was perplexed and couldn't help him over the phone. I tried telling him to enable, disable the drivers in device manager but nothing seemed to work. I found the Dell driver download page for his laptop but am confused as to which one of the network drivers would fix his network adapter. Here is the link, could you give me some advice as to what to do next?

Hello Duckman5,
Go to Device Manager and see which make and model adaptor he has, go back to the download page and choose the latest driver, what makes it confusing, is that they have all the drivers, both old and new, all grouped together, pick the one with the latest release date for your device.
While your there, i would update the chipset, sound, and video drivers too, in fact update as much as you can.
Hope this helps, good luck and post your results.
