    I just installed my full retail version of windows 7 Ultimate. I have a Dell Inspiron 17R 5720. I have all my drivers installed except for the NETWORK CONTROLLER. This from what I see is for the WiFi and of course my WiFi isn't working. I do have internet access thru the Ethernet port.

    Here is what I have tried.

    Using Dell Assist for Drivers on their website and it that doesn't work for Windows 7 now.

    Tried checking with Intel site and it says all my drivers are good but I still am missing the network controller.

    Here is my hardware ID for the network controller.

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0887&SUBSYS_44628086&REV_C4
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0887&SUBSYS_44628086
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0887&CC_028000
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0887&CC_0280


    Can anyone help me acquire the driver and show me how to get this installed?

    Have you tried installing the driver from Device Manager?
