Need a driver for my wireless nic card

I have a wireless nic card and cannot find a driver for windows 8. I don't know what brand or any info about this card because windows XP always loading a driver. How will I know what it is if I can find a driver for the card?

Hey Rodney,

Here's a suggestion to identify your wireless NETWORK card:

  1. [Win] + X
  2. Device Manager
  3. Right click on your NETWORK adapter
  4. Select Properties
  5. Go to the Details tab
  6. Select the hardware ID in the drop-down list of the property
  7. Right-click on the 2nd line of the value box
  8. Select copy
  9. Open your favorite Web browser
  10. In the search box, paste the value copied to the #8
  11. ...

Once you have identified the manufacturer of your NETWORK card & model see the manufacturer's Web site to try to find the appropriate driver. Alternatively, you can also search on http://catalog.update.microsoft.com.

If Windows 8 cannot find a driver for your NETWORK card automatically, I guess it's because it's an old. So I expect that you will not find a driver for Windows 8. If you find a Windows Vista or Windows 7 driver, they should work. Also, during the research for a driver to pay attention to the version (x 32 / x 64) as it should match your version of Windows 8.

Hope this helps at & answers your question. If you have a problem with this answer please you with:

  • Version of Windows 8 (x 32 / x 64)
  • Manufacturer of PC & model
  • NIC (#8 above value) hardware ID

and I'll see what I can do when I have a moment.

See you soon

LZ.
