Gateway E-475M 802.11 Driver?

I'm trying to install Windows 7 64 on this machine. I installed the
drivers at this link, but still the 802.11 adapter is not recognized.

I realize it is for Vista 64, but that is the closest OS I can find.

If I try to install WIndows XP, I have the awesome problem of the F6
drivers and the floppy disk.
If I don't have access to a PC running Windows how can I make the F6
driver diskette? Can I get the files off Intel's site and just dump
them to a disk?
The problem is, I'm on a Mac here and I can't run Windows exe's.

Justin,

Try a neighbor, co-worker, or close family for a system that can make the
disk for you?

I run Microsoft in Virtualbox, did not need a floppy to install microsoft
operating system...

Yes all you need is the drivers on a floppy disc for the Windows XP
install. And I am assuming you need the driver so you can install XP on
a SATA drive. And if you don't have a floppy drive on that machine, you
can buy an USB floppy drive that will work on eBay for about 15 bucks.
Btw, I never saw your original post.
