Hi everyone,
I need your help. I purchased a MacBook a couple of months ago, which uses Snow Leopard as its operating system. Being a Windows user, I created a second partition using Boot Camp and installed Windows XP onto it, which worked perfectly. Once Windows 7 came out, I decided to upgrade to the new system, which led to problems. When I ran Windows XP, the internet worked perfectly! I used the wireless router from our home (Westell VersaLink 327W DSL Gateway) for internet connection for both the Windows and Macintosh partitions. However, it does not work when using Windows 7. I installed the drivers that came along with the MacBook from the CD and it shows up in the program list, but I cannot catch any wireless networks on my laptop. I've tried the different troubleshooting methods provided by Windows, searched forums for answers, and attempted to add a network manually, and nothing worked. The internet does work when I plug in the Ethernet cable into the laptop, but not wirelessly.

Windows 7 has:
NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (network adapter)
Broadcom BCM43XX 5.30.20.0 (driver found in the programs list from the Mac OS X disk)
Network Controller (missing - contains a yellow triangle with ! on it)
- Device status: the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)

What should I do?

More information will be provided if needed.

Thank you.
