yes i did. it started working out of the blue. uber weird.

Okay I'm not sure what's going on but I'm really frustrated now. My wifi died shortly after migration to Windows 7. It was working under Windows XP for months and Windows 7 for a week or so and out of the blue I cannot connect to my wireless networks. I am now using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit edition. All my other drivers work except for the USB wifi. I've uninstalled the driver and tried drivers from the VIA site. I've also tried the driver that Windows update provided. I've also tried the Windows 7 64 bit driver from the Zotac site which for some reason never installed because it said the platform wasn't supported. I've tried to use the Vista 64 bit driver and that didn't work also. Let me be more specific; when I say that the drivers don't work I don't mean that don't function. All of the drivers except the Zotac Win 7 64 bit driver installed without a hiccup but they don't connect to my wireless router. If in the case they do connect, I'd get an ip address but no network traffic. I have other items connected wirelessly to that router. My iPod, my Wii, etc. All are connected the only thing that doesn't work is this USB WLAN card. I've power cycled the router numerous times. I've even tried the "netsh winsock reset catalog" trick with no luck. I'm convinced the problem is the WLAN card. Could it be that it just died? Something else strange is that WLAN card now says "VIA Technologies USB Wireless LAN Adapter #3". Even after I completely uninstalled the driver each time. Is there some inconsistency in the registry causing it to name it #3? I've updated the BIOS to the latest version and still no luck. I really would like to try everything before I RMA the entire board for this issue. Can anyone help?
