I recently upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7. After my fresh installation, I realized that my wireless connection wasn't working. When I looked behind my computer to the PCIe slot that it took up, I realized that the two LED's on the back were dark and didn't emit light. I switched it to another PCIe slot. No dice. All my drivers for the adapter are installed correctly. In device Manager, it doesn't display under Network Adapters that it is connected to the computer. All there is under that section is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. In Device Manager, under Other devices, there is both a Network Controller with a small yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it as well as an Unknown device. Thank you for you help!

EDIT:
Update: When I change the Wireless Adapter from one position to another, the PCI bus of the unknown Network Controller changes from PCI bus 6 to PCI bus 7. When I click update driver on the unknown Network Controller, browse my computer for driver software, C:\Program Files (x86)\REALTEK PCIE Wireless LAN Driver\Driver, and click next, the computer returns "Windows could not find driver software for your device."
