ASUS U31SD WLAN driver can not be installed !!!

Dear Experts

I have got ASUS U31SD,,,,I installed windows 7 Ultimate for it , but I forgot to record what was the name of the wireless driver before formatting it

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobility/U31SD/#download

I downloaded the below two drivers (there is not third one to try it) from the official ASUS website above, but non of them worked.

Intel(R) WiFifamily WiFi Wireless LAN Driver

Azurewave Wireless Lan Driver and Application

Wireless hardware is on not off ?

Now I am confused I do not know which is the proper driver for the laptop ?

Thanks

Do either of them work? If not, have you tried the Microsoft web site for appropriate drivers?

I am assuming that your are running Windows (Xp, Vista, or Win7) and not Linux, correct?

Most current systems have a switch to turn on/off the wireless stuff. Are you sure yours is on?

Should be, yes. Have you tried a clean reinstall of Win7 yet? As we say in the computer business, it it doesn't work the first time, try the same time again! :-)

Of course, that is the definition of insanity, trying the same thing again, and again, expecting a different result! :-) Ok - we are all nuts!

Thanks for the info about drivermax.com. That may be helpful for a lot of people to speed up their 3rd party driver update process. So, good post.
