    I just performed a fresh install of Windows 8 on my G75VW (Best Buy model with 660m) and need help figuring out what this unknown device is. Any fellow G75VW owners out there care to help venture a guess as to what it is? Everything seems to be working okay. Here's a list of what I have confirmed working so far:

    Wireless LAN
    Sound (and subwoofer)
    Card Reader
    Keyboard (backlight as well as shortcut keys)
    Touchpad
    USB ports

    And here's a snapshot of my device manager:

    Thanks in advance!

    Nevermind, mark this one as solved! After googling around a bit more I found that I had to install a wireless radio control driver from Asus's site. It's responsible for switching between to airport mode or something.
