    Just did a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit, on my dm1-4010us.
    Device Manager is showing a yellow exclamation next to Other Devices>Ethernet Controller. Any idea what driver that is referring to? I already installed the Atheros LAN driver and have internet connection. What else might it be?
    Thank you.

    You probably have the wireless driver installed but not the wired (ethernet) driver. Try installing this package for the Ethernet Controller.
