L520 Fresh install and the Wireless Card is not being detected

[ Edited ]

I have installed the drivers and i am not able to get any wireless signal what so ever.

 

Bios says the Raidos are on.

 

Device manager has a Network Controller that has a yellow waring on it and 1 unknown device

 

msinfo32 has (Under Componets > Network > Adapter) has the following:

 

Name: WAN Miniport (SSTP)

Adapter Type : Not Avaliable

 

Name: WAN Miniport (IKEv2)

Adapter Typr: Not Avaliable

 

Name: WAN Miniport (L2TP)

Adapter Typr: Not Avaliable

 

Name: WAN Miniport (PPTP)

Adapter Typr: Not Avaliable

 

Name: WAN Miniport (PPPOE)

Adapter Typr: Not Avaliable

 

Name: WAN Miniport (IPv6)

Adapter Typr: Not Avaliable

 

Name: WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)

Adapter Typr: Not Avaliable

 

It is showing the "Realtalk RTL8168D/8111D " NIC is installed and avaliable

also bluetooth is avaliable.

 

 

I just had wireless before i did a wipe...any help would be awesome :smileyhappy:  sorry for the long post

 

tl;dr: how can i get this device working again?

Icemagic,

 

Could you try running ThinkVantage System Update also?  It should find any drivers that you overlook.

Re: L520 Fresh install and the Wireless Card is not being detected

in addition to Ron's suggestion above, have a look at the driver matrix here:

http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-77172

it often has new drivers before the tvsu catalog gets updated.

 

please do post back your results so that others may benefit from your experience.

 

cheers.
