Need wireless driver for Dell Latitude E6410
I've installed Windows 7 64 bit on a Dell Latitude E6410 and would like wireless capability.
This page doesn't help (I've attempt all 7 network drivers/utilities):
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/latitude-e6410/drivers
At the end of the day the device manager shows that I am missing a Network Controller and an Unknown Device.

For unknown device check the data in hardware IDs and Compatible IDs - Device Manager, click on Unknown device and then click on "Details" tab.
if you have unknown devices in device manager, you can use this procedure to identify them :
1- visit the motherboard manufacturers support site, for downloading drivers
2- use windows update >optional updates to find them
3- Start>Programs>Accessories
Now select "Components" and highlight "Problem Devices".
All hardware devices with a driver problem will be listed here.
Make a note of the first line of the PNP Device ID line of the entry. It will show a Vendor number and a Device number (VENxxxxDEVxxxx) both four digits long.
Look up those numbers here: http://www.pcidatabase.com/index.php
This will tell you the manufacturer and the chip number.
Check the manufacturer's website first or google them - or post them here
4- If your LAN is running, you can also use windows update> optional drivers, or use slimdrivers : https://www.slimwareutilities.com/slimdrivers.php
