Guys,

I upgraded my windows 7 beta last night to the RC1 release. The only issue i am having is that now my wireless driver is not working correctly.

under the device manager the error is "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)"

I am using a macbook pro with bootcamp on it, the initial beta public release of Windows 7 picked up the drivers fine. For some reason after upgrading i can get no wireless though. I have tried downloading vista drivers, and just about everything i can think of. I also downloaded the Bootcamp Vista 32 Update from mac, but it did not resolve the problem either.

any help would be much appreciated, Thanks

This is the same driver that worked for me in the beta, but now does not work in the RC1

Click to expand...

click on start and type
compmgmt.msc
goto the device manager
then go to the device
double click it and then go to the details tab....
there should be a drop-down box which you can choose Hardware ID
post that up...

MacBook Pro 15" Windows 7 RTM installed under Bootcamp:

Driver Node Strong Name:

Code: 
oem20.inf:BROADCOM.NTx86.6.1:BCM43XNM_NT61:4.176.75.23:pci\ven_14e4&dev_4328

I am looking for a place to download the current driver for this wireless card that supports LEAP.

If there is any other method to get the LEAP software then I'd appreciate hearing that also.
