If the device does not show up in device manager then it is either disabled in the BIOS or has been turned OFF. You will only be able to know which driver to load when the device shows up in device manager. You will then copy the hardware ids from the details tab of the device and paste it here to learn the proper driver. ASUS uses several different WiFi vendors and it's impossible to know which one is in your netbook without either opening the computer's case and looking at the minipci card or enabling the device so it shows up in the device manager.

I'd recommend getting the driver from catalog.update.microsoft.com rather than an unknown source. These drivers are signed and WHQL certified...

thanks
