[plunkyroad]

hey i got a foxconn 760gxk8mb-rs and i just installed win 7 but it didn't install the lan driver, which is weird because vista did everything. was wondering if someone could help me out with this. cant find the right ones anywere, try'd ones from foxconn site but there old.

I can't find any Realtek RTL8201BL drivers for Windows 7 - the latest is for XP or earlier.
I'd suggest an add-on card that's Win7 compatible - they're about $15 (US) from most major retailers

thats weird cause there was no issues with it already having the lan driver with vista what makes 7 not have the internet driver.. should be a simple fix.

i know how to install drivers... the thing is win 7 didnt install a lan driver so i cant do anything with it. pretty useless when the vista even does this simple process. if 7 is gonna be issues im just gonna go back to vista.

Foxconn - Support - Downloads

Vista was made so it would run older XP drivers and install many.

Foxconn has not kept up with Windows 7 by providing updated drivers. Microsoft provides what the makers give them to use.
They have not seen fit to provide Win 7 drivers to MS to install them for you.

Vista or XP drivers installed in compatibility mode seems all that is available.
