I have installed Windows 7, the motherboard is an Asus P5K SE. The latest Vista Lan drivers for this mother board (Atheros L1 gigabit ethernet 10/100/1000 base controller) do not work.Without internet access I cannot activate Windows and it makes the testing and reporting process rather difficult.Any feedback or assistance would be appreciated.PSI have now installed the driver sucessfully using vista compatibility mode

Hello Paul, I'd suggest installing the previous device drivers in the Compatibility Wizard. Remove that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file and select the Compatibility tab; click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box; then try installing the device driver. In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing. If the problem still persists, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system (only the beta version) and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed; some old driver is not compatible with new OS. I suggest that you should wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver. Thanks for your time and understanding! Good Luck!

I cannot seem to ba able to follow these steps you describe, what device should be removed? And do you mean it should be unintalled or disabled? Where is the driver executable you are talking about?
