Laptop Card Problem

[nvening]

I have just reinstalled a sony PCG-FX702.
I went to install the wireless card but the bt software cant find the bt software cant find he card.

i thought it must be drivers needed but there seems to be no appropriate driver on the sony support page or from the Drivers file i got from the original installation.

am i missing something?

EDIT Sorry, this seems to have turned into a software thread.

The wireless card is a sony brand?

You are on a Vaio right, that model number looks like Vaio.

Sometimes sony drivers are *buried* on their support page.
Keep digging.
If your wireless card is a dif brand check their site.
