Sony vaio vpcsa3gbx wireless network adapter not showing. I installed from legacy Hardware now driver won't install error 31

Greetings,

On a Windows Vista-based computer, the Microsoft ISATAP adapter appears with a yellow exclamation mark (!) next to it in Device Manager.
You can safely ignore this error message. This error message does not indicate a problem with the adapter. The adapter will continue to work correctly.
Check out this article for more information on this:

If this is still not working,
First try to reset Winsock from command prompt, this will reset all the Network components to default:
Click on start, type CMD,'Right click and Run as Administrator'.
At the command prompt type:
netsh winsock reset catalog
In such a case, I suspect this problem to be caused by network adapter missing or corrupt. Please firstly reinstall the driver for your wireless network adapter. Then try to reinstall Microsoft ISATAP using following steps:
1.In Device Manger, right-click the item of Microsoft ISATAP and select Uninstall.
2.Still in Device Manager, click Action and select Add legacy hardware.
3.Click Next, and select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced), click Next.
4.Select Network Adapters and click Next.
5.Select Microsoft in left panel and Microsoft ISATAP Adapter in the right panel.
6.Click Next and finish the remaining wizard.

Go to Windows Updates and see if there is an update their sometimes that happens with drivers. Start there Updates and install all the updates hardware updates as well. If that does not assist you there may be a fix at the Sony Vaio support drivers and download for your driver start there. I would download the driver online for the wireless software. Click Here to go to the driver site enter your model and info they request and download whatever you need from there. This should get you up and running again. I hope that this assisted you. Note download the Network anything that has to do with wireless Lan John

Hi Friend,

6to4 adapter is a component used for transmitting IPv6 packets trough IPv4 network correctly.

In some scenarios, there will be a code 31 or code 10 error appearing beside this component. A possible reason is, the network adapter doesn't support this feature. You may update the driver for your network adapter or chipset, and then try to Uninstall and reinstall the this component.

To Uninstall the component, right-click the item in Device Manager and select Uninstall.

To reinstall the component, in Device Manager, Action - Add Legacy Hardware - Next - "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list" - Network adapters - Microsoft - Microsoft 6to4 Adapter - Next - Finish the wizard.

If the steps above doesn't solve the problem, your network adapter is not a supportive one for this component. You can completely ignore this error, if there isn't IPv6 network deployed in the environment. The error won't affect your system.

To remove the error message, please right-click the Command Prompt and run as administrator, type the command netsh in 6to4 set state disable, press Enter. The component will be disabled and hidden.

You'll need to go to this link on another comp. and download the drivers and re-install.
http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/sony/sony-pcga-ba1a-bluetooth-software.htm

well google search the drivers to find out what you need then make shure your fash has enuff memory on it to fit the driver on it then click and drag the driver's program files to the flash and then plug it in to the other pc then open mycomputer then program files then drag and drop driver's files there. Then instal driver (if needed)

Try removing the wireless adapter in the device manager and then re-boot computer. Vista should detect the adapter and re-install the drivers. if that does not work you might want to download the latest drivers and software from Toshiba and install them. Another thing you can try is to use windows restore to return the computer to a time when the wirless adapter was working.

Same Problem I am facing too. I am also having SONY VAIO VGN-CS21GN

not a problem in xp sp3 under the device manager in system properties you will have a yellow circle and black exclamation mark and probably say unknown device or ethernet device. right click go to properties and in details tab you will see Device ID.. we can track OEM driver from this.
