Laptop LAN driver. Help needed!
 

I'm after a driver for my Compaq laptop. It's a 2143EA and I need a driver for the LAN card. It's a LAN-Express IEEE 802.11 PCI Adapter, and I need to update it so that I can use WPA encryption.

Anybody know which driver I need and where I can download it from?

Regards
Phil

Not being an **** or pedantic but it sounds like you're actually looking for a 'WLAN' (wireless) driver, if this helps with your search at all?

It is a Wireless LAN but it's not listed as that on my laptop.

I found that link, but it just takes me to a driver detective download!

I can't get any of them to override my current driver!

uninstall the driver from device manager then

Check the installed version and the version you're trying to install. If you're already on the same version Windows, as a rule, won't overwrite the existing driver.

Hindle - Tried. When re-installing it just loaded the old driver!

It says that this is the best driver for it, even though I have downloaded the newer ones. :(
