AW(D-MAX Wifi...Not working!!! Help please Sean

[Dreaming]

Though it may not be helpful, on vista 32bit, clean install, downloaded latest vista drivers off abits website and it worked fine. However, previous install it wouldn't work, but they were drivers off the CD.

So to me also seems like exclusively a vista 64bit issue.

1. All reg entries deleted.
2. Drivers uninstalled
3. Double checked for reg entries left
4. Reinstalled new 'signed' Vista 64 Drivers

Reboot

Sod all again!!!!!

This is definitely a driver/64bit issue and im more than bloody annoyed about it.

ABIT's product might be good....well i think it is......but your software/bios/drivers are absolute rubbish!!!!!!!!

If i buy a 'Vista Ready' motherboard for almost £150 i expect it to work with drivers that ABIT supply and not have to continually arse about with it.

Very
Very
Poor

[Blitzen]

Any other ideas?
Basically the driver linked here is incomplete.
Even disabling the Driver Signature check doesnt recognise it.

The previous XP driver at least recognises the Wifi and if i disable DSC i can use the Wifi but its very inconvenient.

I have the answer now and im not impressed with the leel of support from ABIT one iota.

Here's the solution if anyone else needs it:
