Need ethernet drivers for my new HP Pavilion HPE

[CherylG]

Rather odd fact just pointed out by Big_Dave( in another thread) is the Atheros driver is posted for Windows 7 32bit, but not 64 bit:

Possible breakthrough...

While HP doesn't seem to have the W7 64bit driver available (small oversite on their part), I think I located a driver on Atheros' website.

Go to Atheros Customer Portal and select either AR813x_AR815x_v2.0.14.15_WHQL or AR816x_v2.0.14.15_WHQL under the AR813x_AR815x or AR816x headings. They are in .RAR format, so you need to extract the driver using WinRAR or the like.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

Let us know if the driver referenced by Frank works.  That way we keep that tip until HP posts the 64 bit driver.

Yes the driver works.  I appreciate all his help.  I did click the solution solved button.

Great news! Good detective work Frank.

THANK-YOU. Worked great on the bare reinstall of Win7 Pro on my HPE h8-1240t. Was a bear to find on the HP "Support" web site! Love the computer but this is the first PC I've purchased in 15 years that shipped without an accompanying CD with drivers/manual. I'm almost finished collecting them from various web sites. What's up HP???
