Hi:

 

That card will not work on W7.

 

See this discussion...No one has reported back about trying to mask the pins on the 3168 like the one person did with the Realtek wifi card.

Please post the hardware ID for the unknown device in your screenshot, and I will see if I can find a W7 driver for it.

 

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device.
