    wondering if anyone who has put 64 bit vista into thier x205-sli1 can help me. i just installed a fresh 64 vista into mine and im trying to get all the drivers installed and working and im having trouble with getting the wireless to work
    I found some Atheros Drivers but i cant seem to get them to install. When i go to device manager i do not see any wireless card i can only see the realtek RTL8168/8111 family pci-e gigabit Ethernet nic

    and under other devices i have 4 things that don't have drivers they have a ! next to it
    biometric coprocessor
    mass storage controller
    Network Controller
    unknown Device

    Anyone know if any of these are the problem? i tried selecting them - properties and update driver and selecting my atheros drivers but that didn't do anything eather.

    i found the right drivers for the wireless card i guess it was the network controller, i must have had the wrong ones.
    If anyone knows about the last 3 devices though it would be greatly appreciated
