    For those people who got their 14x configured with Killer Wireless-N cards or added them after purchase. A new driver version was posted today:

    Direct Download Links Provided by Bigfoot Networks' RSS feed:
    64-bit
    32-bit

    You can also get them from Bigfoot Networks, if you would like start the download from their website.

    EDIT: Right after I posted this, I recieved this e-mail from Bigfoot Networks because I had e-mailed them with a support issue with their last set of drivers. I believe this information would be helpful to everyone so I am going to quote the e-mail below.
    It might be a good idea for everyone to disable their AV software and run the cleaner utility before installing the new version, just to be on the safe side.

    Nice Post +rep :cool:

    Edit: I uninstalled the driver from device manager, used the cleaner, rebooted then installed the new driver but it wouldn't recognize my killer 1102 card. I repeated the process and tried to install the driver I was using previously then got an error (can't remember exactly what..something about the MSDN). Was forced to system restore before uninstalling the driver initially.

    If my wireless card has no issue, should I bother updating?
