    Have any of you that have installed Win7 on your machine have an EMP 8602+S card and which driver did you use? I have tried the windows driver and the vista driver but using either one causes my CF-28 to freeze once I am on the internet.

    I am really concerned about this as well! I just went to the company site and looked but did not even see driver support for Vista. I wrote an eMail to their support section and asked the question.

    I installed the client program from the engenious site listed for the card, we will see how that works.

    So far so good, I will keep you posted.

    No Dice, froze up again, from what I have read from searching the internet Atheros has not done much to provide drivers for Win7 or advice on which driver to use, kinda frustrating.
