    Just boot up the R3 for the first time, found out in the bottom right, no connections available, then I go to device manger-->network adapters
    There are 3 things
    1. Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
    2. Bluetooth Device (Personal Are Network)
    3. Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI)

    However, beneath that under Other Device---> there is a Network Controller which is unknown to windows and with no drivers

    I then put in the resources DVD, unzip the 6300 driver (that is what I order...hopefully that is what I got) it said the driver is unsuitable, and unable to be installed on the computer..

    Here are my specs:
    2720QM
    6970M
    8G HyperX 1600
    Vertex 2 240GB
    Seagate Momentus XT
    Intel 6300

    Download the driver from the Intel site.
