Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button,

clicking Control Panel,

clicking System and Security,

and then, under System, clicking Device Manager.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Where you see the Yellow exclamation mark, double click it, choose "Details" tab, from the dropdown menu choose "HardwareIDs", click the first string and copy/paste here.

If you can hardwire your unit temporarily to the router and run a Windows Update , I'm sure it can find the driver under optional updates.

yes buddy i have hard wired the laptop to the router and download windows updates but did not find ethernet/network controller drivers.

still shows yellow exclamation marks on them and when i unplugged the ethernet cable the wirelless does not work. still shows red cross on the nic icon.

If a Vista Driver exists for it , try it , I've used a lot of Vista drivers on W7 for items that dont have a driver and its worked with a printer.

Did you see the post about trying the Vista Driver? It's worth a try. I heard some of the drivers are backwards compatible.

That's Intel chipset IDs, not wifi or Ethernet LAN.
