Aspire 7741G-6426: no Internet after re-installing Windows 7

mingovia

sequence of events:

1.  bought a used Acer Aspire 7741G-6426 from my brother-in-law.

2.  he had removed the hard drive, for security reasons

3.  I bought and installed a Solid State Drive

4.  I downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium from the Microsoft site

5.  installed, successfully, Windows

6.  Now, no Internet access.  Device Manager shows an Ethernet Controller, but says the device driver for it is not installed.  No wireless controller is found.

7.  I downloaded the Broadbank LAN device driver from the Acer site (on another computer, of course; carried it over to the laptop on a USB drive).  When I try to update the driver, Device Manager says it finds the driver but it is missing a file.

 

Is there another place to get drivers?  Is there a self-installing driver available?  thanks for any help

Hello,

 

Do you have the Hardware Ids of ethernet and wireless controllers?
