NEXXT 122NXT12 driver

[dharry]

I've just built a system and did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I can't get the wireless card to connect to anything (NEXXT 122NXT12). I had first installed 32-bit and it worked fine with Windows default drivers, but now even with 64-bit drivers it won't work, I am however getting a message about the drivers not being digitally signed, can this prevent the card from working? I've tried disabling driver signing using elevated command prompt (http://www.howinthetech.com/disabling-digital-driver-signing-in-windows-7/) and Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider (http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2009/08/24/loading-unsigned-drivers-in-windows-7-and-vista-64-bit-x64/), neither seem to work. Can anyone help me figure this out? Or even better, direct me to drivers that would work?

Welcome!

Try uninstalling the drivers from Device Manager, reboot, and let Windows reinstall the generic drivers. Hopefully those will work again.

I've tried that, for some reason, the default drivers that come with the x64 edition don't work even though the ones that came with the x86 edition did.

Figured it out. I googled the hardware ids and eventually found compatible drivers.
