    I upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate some months ago and now I find myself in a situation where I can only get access via an ethernet wire, however I am not able to locate the correct driver for this laptop. I believe because this laptop was only released with Vista, but I could be wrong. This is an HP Pavilion DV6500, model# dv6625us. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. TIA

    Use the Vista drivers @ h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=2100&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3548371

    Yours comes with either a Broadcom or Intel ProSet WLAN adapter. You have to try which one you have.

    I tried the Vista version but it failed. Also I have upgraded my NIC from the abg broadcom to an intel 4965 abgn, but that's wireless and shouldn't have anything to do with wired. My wireless works fine, but the LAN wont connect.

    Hi again. Just curious, did you get your motherboard swapped out successfully?
