    Hello, I have noteebok MSI ms-163c (VR601). I just installed Windows 7 x86, but I can't install wifi. Wifi is turned on, indicator is green, but in device manager I don't see any wifi device. There is only "Realtek RTL8168/81111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC" in network adapters. When I turn on wifi, I don't see any window about adding new hardware. I had Windows Vista Home and wifi worked fine. I tried install vista ultimate x86, but still same problem, wifi still didn't work. Can anybody help me please?

    Big thanks for quick answers...
