Hi,

I don't have the drivers software, and I've tried installing a Windows 7 Ultimate(64Bit), however, when the installation has finished, I found out that Wireless adapter isn't recognised, although all others devices such as Ethernet adaptor is recognised.

Thus, I would like anyone to help me to let this device defined. I'm expecting that windows' updates will update this Wireless adapter.

The Specis of my laptop are:

Toshiba,

Satellite  Pro L450-EZ1510

Part No: PSLY1-01J010.

I am expecting that windows updates will be defining the the Wiresless adapter.

    No, it isn't Intel Wireless LAN Driver

    Yes, the updates let the Wireless adabpter defined. However, it is Realtek Wireless LAN Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)

    Thus, I don't need to go to http://support.toshiba.com/support/driversResults?freeText=2558912  to download Realtek Wireless LAN Driver for Windows 7 (32/64).

    this raises another question which is, how can I know if there are other devices still missing  and needing drivers to be working. For instance, my laptop has a Web Camera integrated with it, and I don't know if this will be working or not. Also, I don't know if there is a bluetooth integrated with my laptop or not. I think if any devices were still missing and needing a drivers, they would have listed under 'other devices' category in the device manager.

    Hi

    Like Lenovo has think vantage system update to update all driver at single click

    Like that Toshiba has own utility all in one agent which will find what driver is missing from computer.you need to install this utility,it will auto find all driver for your machine.you will get it from Toshiba website or you can download from here

    http://download.cnet.com/Toshiba-Drivers-Download-Utility/3000-2098_4-75985218.html

    Thanks a lot,

    But I noticed that the utility needs to be registered by a key when I need it to donwload the dirvers.

    I don't have any key. and I don't want to buy any.
