    I had a little bit of issue with it in Windows 7 however always found a work around. The Windows 7 driver works with 8 but not well. Speed is horrible 90% of the time, and more drops than Terrell Owens on a Monday night football game. I have fallen in love with Windows 8 and hope they make a "WORKING" win8 driver soon. I get that this driver is certified for win7 and not 8 but allot of companies have a windows 8 driver out for their products these days, or at least a beta.
    Does anyone know of an atheros driver that works well with the 1202? I am willing to experiment a little bit. I currently have a ticket in with Killer, we will see what happens. If all else fails I will buy another brand mini pci-e card. So far not impressed with this card, even running it in windows 7 with dell/alienware driver was anything to be proud of.
