CENTRINO WIRELESS N1030 ADAPTER NOT WORKING ON DN2800MT DESKTOP BOARD

[dson2]

Hello friends,

I have installed a HALF MINI PCI-E CENTRINO WIRELESS N 1030 ADAPTER ON AN INTEL DN2800MT, NM10 CHIPSET, MINI ITX DESKTOP BOARD..RUNNING WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE..The issue is that the hardware is showing with a yellow mark in the device manager and the properties says the device could not be started..First I installed the drivers from the Resources CD and then from Intel Site..After the drivers load the a message is shown saying the drivers could not be installed..Device will not work properly..

To solve the issue I did

Uninstall and re-install hardware manually from the board as well as from the device mgr

re-install drivers old as well as new..Did a diagnostics too but the device is not available..There is no issue of connection as the hardware is not getting installed in the first place..Nothing seems to work.. I am at the point of frustration..please help me..

Thanks and regards...
