| Windows Vista Premium 64 | abit airpace wifi network adaptor and vista 64 Hi All, Got a problem with the above wifi device. This is pci-e. Downloaded the 64 bit vista driver from the abit website (tried all three mirrors!) and the driver and piece of software install fine. But then the software won't recognise that the card exists ('could not find abit airpace wifi network adaptor' error) and vista says it cannot find a suitable driver. The device just shows as 'unknown device' in device manager and wants to reinstall driver. Has anyone else had this problem with this card and how did they resolve it, if at all? ![]() Best regards, Chris Lloyd |

| | Re: abit airpace wifi network adaptor and vista 64 I've had the same problem and completely turning off the computer has helped. The air pace card seems to still have power even when the computer is turned off so you'l have to completely unplug the power supply and wait about 5 minutes. |

| Windows Vista 32/64 | Re: abit airpace wifi network adaptor and vista 64 I had the same problem. What I had to do to get it to work is: 1. Remove the drivers. 2. Run Regedit 3. Search for "Airpace" 4. Delete every entry of "Airpace" found. 5. Close Regedit. 6. Reboot computer. 7. Install 64bit drivers. After I did the above the card finally worked! |

| Vista Enterprise x64 | Re: abit airpace wifi network adaptor and vista 64 Well I got mine working. (Vista Enterprise x64) Here's what I did: Basically I just installed my card, hooked up the antennae, and installed the drivers. Then I went and opened the Hardware manager and found the airpace card, it had a little exclamation mark next to it. I went and right clicked it and selected Update Driver... Then you gotta set it to search within your computer, I wasn't sure exactly where the driver installed to so I just set it to Windows/System32 I think and after a while of searching it found the driver and said Successful! Now my card works fine. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: abit airpace wifi network adaptor and vista 64 With Vista 32 you need to the following: Go to Device Manager > Update driver software... > Browse my computer for driver software > point to 'Windows\System32'. Not sure if this is the same for Vista x64 though. |

| Windows 7 x64 | Re: abit airpace wifi network adaptor and vista 64 ![]() Sometimes this doesn't always work though. On Monday when I was doing it, I had to go in to device manager and right click on "Ethernet Controller" for the wireless card, click "update driver" and choose to browse for it myself. When it loaded all the drivers, I chose Network Adapters and then Atheros. Chose an AR5002XS and let it install. I then installed the abit drivers, then did the system32 trick and it worked. I know this is an old thread, but useful to anyone that comes across it in the future |
