I started a separate thread for this so as not to hijack other threads.
I just recently purchased a UL50VT from NewEgg. One issue that has come up is the Atheros Network adapter. I wiped the drive and installed a fresh copy of Win 7 Home Premium x64 (same edition that came with laptop). Windows found it and installed it without me needing to provide ASUS drivers.
The problem is that every time I restart the computer and login to Windows, Windows finds and reinstalls the network adapter. Just setting up the laptop, i'm now up to "Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller (NDIS 6.20) #16", with the number going up each time I restart the computer.
I tried downloading the ASUS provided driver, which it took as an updated driver, but it's still doing the same thing. I can use the network card without an issue, it's just that it's reinstalling it every time I restart the computer which isn't supposed to happen.
