Title: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit Beta Version Drivers
Post by: thecreator on January 12, 2009, 09:29:20 PM

Hi All,

Dual-booting Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3

and now

Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit Beta Version.

XP Speed is 300 mbps

Windows 7 Speed is 54 Mbps.

Windows 7 automatically installed the drivers for the card.

Driver files installed: athr.sys File Version 1.0.0.7 built by: WinDDK
ywifibus.sys File Version: 6.1.7000.0 (winmain_win7beta 081212-1400)

Windows 7 Speed Problem?

Hell, state of vista driver is terrible so what makes you think there is even a working Win7 driver in the first place... Not a question. ;)

Hi war59312,

Merely testing and reporting my findings. ;D

If Microsoft wants Users to upgrade to Windows 7, then they need to replace the programmers or designers of Windows 7 Networking and they need to use Windows XP's speed.

How is your router configured? I was able to achieve 300Mbps. What build of win7 are you using?

Hi Ru Fi-Oh,

The Router is configured for 300 mbps speed as reported by Network Magic from Windows XP Home Edition, in a Dual-Boot situation with different partitions.

Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit Beta Build 7000. This is the first Public Beta Build. Windows reports 54 mbps speed.

Hi Ru Fi-Oh,

Which drivers are you referring to? Win XP 32-bit or Vista 32-bit Drivers for the Card? Win 7 32-bit drivers have not been released for the Card.
