Unhappy 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!

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.
