| 866519 | 2010-03-12 21:00:00 | Hi Guys, I have a bit of a curly one. I recently upgraded to Win7 Ultimate (from the RC) and since, I find my network card refuses to work after booting. It's as simple as disabling and re-enabling the card to fix it, but it's annoying! Have updated the drivers for it, but no difference. I wondered if perhaps it's something to do with new power management code, but I'm lost really. Win7 Ultimate Realtek PCI GBE Family Controller (wired) |

| 866521 | 2010-03-12 21:14:00 | Sorry I didn't mean 'upgraded': it was a clean install, on a new drive. | sjaxso (11577) | ||
| 866522 | 2010-03-12 21:15:00 | Whats the brand/model of the motherboard? Could be a bug in the BIOS | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 866523 | 2010-03-12 21:21:00 | Asus P5KPL-C/1600 It never had the problem before, with the RC. |

| 866524 | 2010-03-12 21:29:00 | Were the Win7 drivers better? Since it installs drivers for most NIC's?? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 866525 | 2010-03-12 21:32:00 | When you reinstalled the drivers, were they the ones from Asus's web site- the latest are : ATHEROS L1E Driver V1.0.0.45 for Windows 32bit XP/64bit XP/32bit Vista/64bit Vista/32bit Win7/64bit Win7. Did you actually uninstall the originals, or simply upgrade to the newer ones ? Interesting - they are Beta Version 1.0.0.45 ( only ones available) |

| 866526 | 2010-03-12 21:33:00 | No difference... I'm just perplexed at it only happening after booting. It's not much of a hassle to disable, re-enable the card, but gah, it shouldn't be necessary :D | sjaxso (11577) | ||
| 866527 | 2010-03-12 21:35:00 | I have the p5kpl-cm and I never installed any motherboard drivers as it only came with 32bit ones Win 7 picked everything up and worked first time as soon as it had done the updates. Just a thought you don't have comodo do you? as last year it wouldn't work with the atheros NIC on these mobo's | gary67 (56) | ||
| 866528 | 2010-03-12 21:37:00 | I would uninstall the ones you installed. And see if the Win7 are better. I'm using the Win7 sound drivers. Because, with the ASUS ones the sound sounds like its only 1/2 way. Even if you turn the volume up. I think I'm using the same version WT posted. Stupid ASUS site is too full, I cant check again. But they work fine here. This is also an Atheros NIC. Edit I'm using the 1.0.0.18 drivers | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
