These are the general ones you will need

audio
CPU driver
cardbus
chipset + VGA
touchpad
LAN driver
wireless Lan driver

as for the wireless one i would download the atheros one too just incase your wireless card is for that.

Also, if you right click my computer and click manage, you will see which drivers are missing as there will be a exclamation mark next to whichever component. after installing these drivers see what your left with and let me know.
