    I reformatted my PC to get a fresh install, but I can't figure out which is the proper wireless driver. Before reformatting, I checked my hardware information, and it said I had an Atheros wireless card. But ASUS' website doesn't have an Atheros driver for download. Which should I be going with? Thanks.

    One additional question. I have all my hotkeys working, but the wireless toggle is giving me some trouble. First, it takes about 5 seconds to respond. Second, despite not having Bluetooth on this computer, it cycles between WiFi On/BT On, WiFi Off/BT On, WiFi On/BT Off and WiFi Off/BT Off. If I install the Wireless Console utility, it cycles properly (leaving Bluetooth off) and reacts more quickly, but it still has the Bluetooth icon next to the Wireless icon when I toggle. I'd also rather not be running the console in the background if I don't have to. Is there any work-around?

    I believe that it is the Azurewave.
