Drivers needed for Acer Aspire One AOD257
_______________________________________ _
Hi,

I have been all over the net and have tried various search strategies but cannot find the drivers I need.

My little netbook is a 32-bit system. I reset it to factory settings and then installed Win 7 but cannot find the following, which are showing up with a yellow exclamation mark and show that I have nothing at all for them so cannot even identify which manufacturer I should use:

Intel(R) 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection
Network Controller

I also have a PCI device yellow exclamation mark, and I am told in properties that there are no drivers installed.

When I tried to get online, I was told I had no intel adapters.
 


Later, at the suggestion of someone far more knowledgeable than I, I visited https://www.acer.com/ac/en/ID/conten.../3659;-;AOD257 and downloaded the chipset.  It installed properly but I am still not able to get online.  I cannot find the drivers I need for certain “things” (not computer savvy here).

Here is the info
I get the message, “The drivers for this device are not installed, “ for:
1)    Intel “82567LF gigabit network connector.
2)    Network controller.
3)    PCI device.
When I troubleshoot the internet connection, I get this message:

The “local area connection” adapter is experiencing problems. 
I do not see the drivers  I need at the Acer site.
Any ideas?


Thank you.

Your link didn't work, this one works for me: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/3659?b=1

You need to install the Chipset driver from that page first, then install the LAN Driver.  Since you have already installed the Chipset drivers, you should just need to install the LAN driver.

worst case scenario, if no drivers for Win7 exist, you can go and buy a wireless USB adapter from as little as $AUD20, that way it'll have all the drivers your need.
so the factory reset put back on what, Windows XP?
