Hello.
Long time since I've been here.
It's good to know that one of the very first forums I ever joined would grow so big, and still stay true to the builders who need to communicate! Great job!
Okay.
I've got a laptop.
M-Series (m1617 / W650A)
Second hand repair. Had to perform a clean install Via USB of Windows XP Home.
problem is drivers for the wifi
All I can get is off the card itself. FCC ID UAY-MMC85PG
Marvell MC85
I've tried all standard tech support sites yet can not find a driver for XP to this device.
Can anyone please help me?
I really need the wifi to work on this device.
Thanks in advance!
I'll be standing by.

Since the laptop had XP on it when it was given to me to fix, that was the OS I started out with.
In the end however, the way I solved the problem was to just go ahead and Wintoflash a copy of Vista and install it.
Sure enough, a couple hours later, (after I went out and got the drivers from Gateway) it was up and running just fine.
Thank you to all who did help though. I really do appreciate it.
Talk to you all later!
