New MacBook and Windows 7
Hello all,
I am new here and to the Mac world. I installed Windows 7 via bootcamp and everything installed perfectly but I am having an issue getting the wireless drivers to work. Even with the DVD that came with the MB, Windows 7 won't pick up the wireless card. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance |
|
that's why I said I am new... lol THANKS!
|
Why in the world won't Apple support those machines? It's not like the hardware is explicitly incompatible with Windows...
To the OP: you might try finding some other Atheros drivers for the wireless card, since that card uses an Atheros chipset. |
I'm in the same boat with my late '06 MBP. It lacks some drivers for Win 7 x64 -- not many, but just enough for the experience to be less-than-complete.
|
Apple is way behind the curve on releasing drivers for Win7.
|
WTF, why can't my MacPro use Win7 and BooCamp ("mid-2006 MacPro = unsupported")? Thanks Apple, this and the fact there aren't any recent video cards makes my "expandable" MacPro less than ideal...
|
Which I guess also suggests those older machines aren't going to get 64-bit EFI firmwares for 64-bit kernel support. |
Yup...already saw that we'd be left out of the 64-bit kernel...what do you expect from a $2300 "Pro" machine?
|
does anyone know what artheros Chipset is it?
