MN-720 Wireless 802.11g notebook adapter driver?

I've missplaced my driver disk for my MN-720 Wireless
802.11g PCMCIA card. Windows update can't find it and
the only reference I see to a driver download on the net
is this page :
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/br...etworking/15_D
ownloads.aspx

and I have clicked every link on that page looking for
the download and there is none.

Anyone have any idea where I can get a driver for this
paperweight?

http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?
driverid=85464

Download from there. That's the generic installer for
the MN product line.

the MS software is not redistributable. anyone that downloads this may be at
risk if they install from this unsanctioned location. this file is a hack.

Goto
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/br...Downloads.aspx

Select MN700
Download the msbndownload.exe file

Extract its contents with Winrar
Right click msbn.msi and install it.

After you install it, the drivers will be in (if you keep the default msbn
install directory) C:\Program Files\Microsoft Broadband Networking

I have the exact same problem. Why the heck don't they
put the driver on their website like any other
respectable company? This is absurd.

Paperweight is what its gonna be soon if I cant find the
driver for it, yeah.

You know, it doesn't matter that it has been posted to
this group multiple times.

What does matter is that the average computer user isn't
going to be saavy enough to FIND this group.

The driver needs to be more easily accessible. Microsoft
needs to post this driver like most other companies do,
on their web site as a separate download.

Absolutely right on! It is pathetic the way MS has set up the support pages
for this product line - a couple of days work by someone with a clue would
make a huge difference.
