I've installed the Win7 beta on my EASYNOTE R1938. I installed the drivers for the machine from the Packard Bell website.

Unfortunately, even with "excellent" wireless connectivity, i can only get "limited access" to the internet. At the moment I am running through an ethernet connection, but I want to get the wireless working.
I have tried to run 7's own diagnostic and repair program which didn't help.

I'm sorry, no, that's all very basic stuff that I already know. I have set up wireless networks before.

Have you installed Win 7 drivers for this device from the OEM?
If there are no Win7 drivers, try the Vista ones.

[zero_butterfly]

There are no Vista specific or Win7 specific drivers for this machine, all the drivers on the Packard Bell site are XP-specific.

[DaveA]

Then you are NOT going to get what you want. A lot of the "Generic" drivers that come with Vista and Windows 7 are NOT complete. They just provide the "Basic" needs and do not perform 100%.

Sounds like the OEM will NOT support Vista or Windows 7 for this machine.

Oh well, everything else works well, I'll just use a wireless dongle.
