Abit IP35 motherboard's network drivers does not support Windows 7

**revolucioncg** · 29-01-2009

Has just installed Windows 7 (64-bit) on the drive, but it did not find any network adapter drivers.

Have a IP35 motherboard with built-in "Marvell gigabit LAN" card ... Have tried to download from Abit's web site, but when I get the message that the driver is not for 64-bit windows, some Abit says it is and have tried to download from Marvell but got the same error message.

Someone who have tips or solutions to the problem?

Windows 7 is still a beta version operating system, so one can not confirm that the driver support is the world's best. You can test with your Vista 64bit drivers.

I am aware of this fact, but I already have the vista 64 drivers. I had XP before the installation, maybe it would host a benefit to upgrade directly from vista, and not as a drivers, etc. from the vista transferred to Windows 7?

Have you tried to install the driver in compatibility mode with vista?

What is that? Install the drivers for vista first and then to upgrade vista to windows 7?

Right-click on exe file - properties - compatibility, I think. Do not install Windows 7 right now, so I will not be checked if it's true. But try this.
