Windows 7 Wireless Issues

I just ugraded my Sony Vaio laptop to Windows 7 from Windows XP but the wireless won't work. I am typing this up from my laptop but through a wired connection. I did turn on the wireless thing on the side of my laptop but it still won' work. I attached a photo to show my problem:

Did you get the wireless driver through Windows or from Intel? Try simply disabling/re-enabling through device manager. Failing that, download the most recent driver for it from Intel, uninstall the device and reinstall it with the new driver.

Most laptops have a keyboard key combo to enable/disable the wifi. Usually something like Fn+F2 or something like that.

Also, check in the bios to make sure the wifi isnt disabled in there. In my Dell XPS, I can kill the wifi and/or bluetooth from the bios.
