Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5303 network drivers?

[mikehende]

I reloaded win7 but the network controller and drivers from their page does not install, after downloading and running the exe's from their page here:

they all don't open. I tried the Atheros LAN driver and all 3 wifi drivers [proset, atheros and realtek].

Have you tried the Intel Pro set, Mike?

This is the device id from driver identifier but since no connection to the net I can run the scan :

[mikehende]

Yes Cindy, I had tired all 3 wifi drivers

[allheart55 Cindy E]

This should work for you, Mike. Go with the top one, it's the newest release date.

Yes, that works thanks, can you tell me how you got to that driver please?

[allheart55 Cindy E]

You're welcome, Mike. I used the PCI database.

Alright, let me see if I doing this right because I had tried that before posting here. I typed 1969 in the Vendor filed and that led me to "Atheros Communications" which led me to:

[allheart55 Cindy E]

You also need the Device ID, 2062.

[mikehende]

Alright, please bear with me, I want to make sure I get this for future purposes so I won't have to bug you guys here. I type 1969 in the Vendor field and 2062 in the device field, if I click the Vendor Search, it leads me to this:

 

http://www.pcidatabase.com/search.php?vendor_search_str=1969&vendor_search=Search

 

showing only "Atheros communications", if I click on that it leads me to this page:

 

http://www.pcidatabase.com/search.php?vendor_search_str=1969&vendor_search=Search

 

The Device Search however leads me to a different page here:

 

http://www.pcidatabase.com/search.php?device_search_str=2062&device_search=Search

 

Which of the above options should I choose and how from there would I know to get to the page with the actual driver you led me to please?

[allheart55 Cindy E]

This is the option that you would choose....

0x2062 Qualcomm Atheros AR8152/8158 0x1969 Atheros Communications

 

 

I always input the vendor number and the device number to find the correct driver but it's not fool proof, Mike.

[mikehende]

Well right Cindy but problem for me is when I get to that page what do i do?

[mikehende]

I got it now, thanks!
