Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1000 works in Linux, why not in Win7?

Please help me use the Intel adapter in my HP 5102 netbook running Win7 Pro.

It works flawlessly in Linux, (which I use booting from a flashdrive), but in Win7 Pro, the Intel Proset utility says there is no wifi adapter found, though the Intel updater found it, and the Device Manager shows it as working properly.

Here are the installation details:

__DEVICE MANAGER ADAPTER FOUND=

__PROset UTILITY=

This is the 3rd laptop I've had, where the Intel wifi adapter did not work in Windows. In the past, I have resorted to use an eternal USB wifi adapter; but this time I'm using a netbook which is purposed to be ultra-portable, and I really need to use its own internal adapter!  Please help. Thanks
