    Which driver set did you download?

    Did you try the set from the ASUS/Intel driver disk that came with your laptop? Or did they only provide Vista drivers?

    download no:16 from the link you provided "Intel chipset software". I believe that has the USB drivers. If that doesn't work then, there might be something disconnected inside your lappy
