I have a toshiba laptop.

It had xp on it, any everything was well.

Today it was formatted and got an image type win 7 64bit enterprise on it.

Got home and no wifi driver.

Went to toshiba website and there are 200 wlan drivers.
So went to pc diagtool and found no wifi wireless card on this device.

But on xp it ran on wifi.

Please give me advise.
 
Go to device manager and look under "Network adapters" or possibly under "Other devices" for items with a warning triangle next to their name. Now go to Properties -> Details -> Hardware IDs, the stick those IDs into Google to find out which WiFi adapter you have.
 
If you're feeling adventurous you can also pop off the case and take a look at the physical WiFi card, it should be pretty easily accessible.
