Wireless network adapter for Asus Netbook not working?

Hi, I just bought a used (in excellent condition btw) Asus EeePC 900hd Netbook (Intel Celeron M cpu 900mhz) for my wife's birthday and I am getting it all ready to go so she doesn't have too do all the downloading and tweaking to get this baby running smooth. Anyway I am having trouble with the wireless network adapter, it is not recognizing my wireless router or anyone else in the area? This Netbook originally came with XP, but I install Win7 home prem x86 on it. I spoke to the seller and he said he had this issue on Win7 as well and had to search for a Vista driver to get it to work. In the beginning of the installation the os did try to connect to my home network and wanted the password, I put in my WPA password and it denied it. What password do they want? Anyway ended up skipping that part and here I am...does any have this driver or know where I can get it. I have briefly tried to google possible drivers but just came across a bunch of bs.


btw: I do already own an Asus EeePC (but it's newer I think- 900HA with Itel Atom 1.6Ghz cpu) which also had XP, but was install with Win7 home prem by the seller. I never had wireless network issues with that one.
 
Do you have a valid entry of the Wireless NIC in the Device Manger?

Did you try temporarily to disable the Wireless Security on your Router and check whether the Netbook would connect without a Password?

I am not sure what that is?

Yes, but the netbook doesn't pick up any of the other wireless signals in my neighborhood (including mine) and I know there are a few. It's like there is no wireless interface at all.

Sorry about the typo, I correct it.

If the drivers are installed correctly and the Wireless card is working thier shoot be a valid Entry in the Device Manager.

It wasn't a Ghost Hardware issue, but thank you very much for the info^_^ it was interesting to know.

I found out it was an old driver that didn't work with Win7, with some help from a friend I managed to find the right driver and it now works!
