Hello,

I have an '09 mac pro quad with an airport card in it... Having just installed windows 7 64bit I need a driver for that airport card...

Is a win7 64bit driver for apple's airport card for the mac pro?
Is there an alternative... a usb wireless device, that will work with win7 64bit?

thanks,

The driver should be on your Snow Leopard disc. Just run the bootcamp installer when in Windows.

Edit: The drivers are for Vista x64 but they should work fine in Win 7. The only one I would spend time hunting down is the Video Card driver as those are more finicky.
 
The drivers on the Snow Leopard CD work fine for Win 7 64bit, I'm wondering though that you need to install them.
When I installed Win 7 WLAN worked right out of the box. No need to install any drivers.
 
hmmmmm....

I believe i did install the win 64bit drivers from the SL dvd... it went through the install process and I restarted and the whole process as it usually occurs with BootCamp.

I can see the available networks, it is just that when I try to connect to one it doesn't work... and when promted for some diagnosis it too is unsucessful.

I was wondering if settings were different somehow. When installing win7 i set it up for a public network, which it essentially is... could it be that the default public network profile somehow is prohibiting me from getting on an unprotected network?

thanks,
