asus k8v deluxe 3com 3c940 drivers

Hi there,
I was just wondering if anyone has managed to get the NIC of an Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard (3COM 3C940) working in Vista? I can't find any relevant drivers on Asus's web site, I presume I need special Vista drivers and that standard XP drivers wont work? I'm using Vista x64 too. Thanks loads in advance.

Yep, you need native 64-bit drivers actually, right now, it looks like it is not supported. You should contact 3COM about support for Vista x64. I would file a driver request in the mean time using the following links: For Feedback: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=55160

Tips for how to file a problem report
Here are some things to consider when filing a problem report:
Please file your report as soon as possible after you find a problem. The sooner we hear from you, the sooner we can investigate and try to fix the problem.
Please provide a brief, descriptive title. The title is the first thing we see when we get the report, so a succinct, clear title will help us effectively identify and prioritize the problem.
Please provide enough detail in the description for us to understand the problem. The more detail you can provide, the better.
Please provide the steps we can follow to reproduce the problem. Any incorrect or missing steps can prevent us from being able to reproduce and address the problem. If you have any supplemental files, screen shots, etc., that will help us investigate the problem, please attach those to your report. Seeing a picture can sometimes help us identify the problem more quickly. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

You could try the Windows XP Pro x64 drivers and see if they work (no guarantees). The drivers I offered were for the 32-bit version which is only compatible with Windows Vista x86, sorry, those were XP x86 drivers though, so there should be hope for you yet. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Hi Andre,
BTW, I just noticed further down that you offered someone the drivers I'm after, or do you only have the 32 bit ones at hand?

Hi Andre,
Cheers for the link, I shall try to remember to use it if I come across anything strange. BTW, can I use any Windows 64bit drivers? or do they have to be specifically for Vista? My sound card has some Windows 64bit drivers available, but it doesn't mention anything about Vista... Cheers for your help.
Nick.

Any Luck? I tried Windows XP 64 bit drivers it did not work.

I tried the Windows XP Prof 64-bit drivers and they do not work and cause the system to fail.
Seems like it won't work until someone makes one.
