I just did a reformat on my Gateway M-1634u Notebook using the Operating software that was included with the notebook, but the WLan driver was not installed. I tried gateway.com for the driver, but they have the wrong one.

moved to correct forum. which driver did you try, realtek, marvel or both? http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/getFile.asp?id=22486&dscr=Realtek Network Driver Version: 6.198.1003.2007 http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/getFile.asp?id=22492&dscr=Marvell Wireless Driver Version: 1.0.2.0
they are using the rtl8187,the notebook called for a rtl8187se,the difference being,one is for a usb drive,the other is for an internal.
I tried those already when installing it says "Sorry ! We do not support this operating system!!" Any others. I tried those 3 days ago after the one from gateway.com failed.
had a similar problem with gateway laptop & vista, the drivers from gateway, intel & ms for videcard would cause it to go into sleepmode during boot process. told customer to hold power button for 2 seconds & it will continue loading into windows. what does it show in device manager like an exclamation mark or what?
