    u can try go to device manager, right click the coprocessor and hit properties. Then "search driver online".

    and try to reinstall the wireless driver.

    Installing the chipset driver will remove the coprocessor icon but when doing so untick the nForce Controller and Ethernet controller when prompted. You will have 2 unidentified devices in the device manager but your wireless will be working fine.

    lol, i fix it, i try REinstalling the chipset twice until the coprocessor dissapeared, it should have gone away the first time, and for the wireless i tried disabling the wired connection and vualaaaa, but i dont think we should be having all of this issues when we paid for a top of the line bugatti veyron
