Need Win7 WifI drivers for nc6120
Hey guys, I checked the hp site for Win 7 drivers (I just installed it) for my nc6120 laptop and I didn't see any, so I went to go with the Vista drivers... but none will download. Anyone know where I can get Vista drivers for my HP Compaq nc6120? I think if I can get the Wifi on it working the other missing drivers will update and find themselves.. I've tried some Broadcom drivers already and the wireless functionality still won't turn on.

Yes I installed the drivers, but only the wired interface was located. There's still a Network Controller under Other devices that still doesn't have the drivers installed for so I assume that's the wifi. The button doesn't work as of yet either.

jackieman: Already tried that, the download buttons don't work. The connection times out when trying to connect to the hp ftp site. Apparently it's a big problem that's been happening for years.
I use Google Chrome and can download it.

Just tried it with Chrome, no dice. The site is weird, I found a thread in the support forum, lots of people have problems downloading. Is there anyway you could send me the network drivers for vista?
ASKER
Beat me too it, thanks.

Hm.. didn't work, maybe the assistant will do something.

Hm.. nope, dang it.

Ah.. it wasn't Broadcom. The wireless device is actually an Intel/Pro device - I got it working.
