IN9 32X-MAX Wi-Fi no ethernet

[Sardine]

No ethernet on windows 7 beta or RC.

Windows 7 disables my ethernet as if they where disabled in the bios.

Only a complete unplug from the mains gets them working again for vista/xp

they do not appear in device manager.

this I believe is a common problem for the IN9 32X-MAX Wi-Fi mobo.

has anyone here been able to fix this problem or is there a later Bios then 1.5.

thanks.

I have this too, I just put in a spare network card and disabled the motherboard ones in the BIOS.
No more problem.

found a fix..

power off pc...(from mains)
power up. (make sure enabled in bios)
boot into win 7 (with working network)

download nforce 15.25 or 15.26 vista x64(if x64 version)
we need ethernet drivers version 67.8.9
unpack exe into directories(default is C:\nvidia)
open device manager and browse to network adaptors
properties on newtork controller
update driver , I will search myself , have disk , point into "c:\15.25_nforce_winvista64_international_whql\Ethernet" or wherever you unpacked it..

do the same for network controller #2

Hey Presto.. the network fixed and no more hoodini tricks with missing controllers..

For new folks.. make sure you reboot reset mobo and select log in save mode with networking enabled

I got my win 7 x64 yesterday and trying now to get it working with my In9 32x Max since 12 hours!


One problem is still, I dont get the network adapters working with more than 2 GB of RAM.

I downloaded the 15.51 nforce x64 driver, with the ethernet version 70.x. And they still disapearing.

Any ideas? Or have it to be exact the nforce driver in "15.26 vista x64"?

edit: Installed Win 7 new with 2 GB RAM, and upgraded the other 2 afgter all was up. its working. till now im happy and going to bed, after this looooooooong night.
