I have also problem with mentioned card in ASUS laptop. I spent last day on trying to force it to work under Vista 32-bit. No results.

After I got this laptop I removed the second partition, what Vista couldn't bear and was completely hanging during boot after this operation! The only thing I expected from this system - that I'll be able to make space for Ubuntu and install it - but it is too much for Vista as I can see.

As regards Vista - interesting thing it is that when I had a preinstalled version, everything was fine - drivers were installed and worked. But after recover from recovery DVD, they didn't. Why? Maybe:

I installed drivers in wrong order, maybe the correct order will help
The Vista version was updated from Microsoft updates before driver installation and I did it on fresh, not updated version and something goes wrong
ASUS installed newer drivers version than are included on the recovery DVD

I'll be fighting with this in the weekend. If you check any of these possibilites please write.

As regards Ubuntu - unfortunatelly the Ubuntu 7.10 Destop I386, I installed doesn't see the LAN card too. I have to find and install some drivers. Can you tell me what Ubuntu version sees it and what does it extactly see?
