[QUOTE="chscag, post: 935673, member: 46727"] The exclamation mark over the wireless device means no driver or some other problem. Open up the hardware device manager again in Win 7 and identify your network controller and wireless card. It's possible the cards are not yet supported in Boot Camp 3.0 (Snow Leopard). Go to the card maker's website and download drivers if possible. Officially, Apple will support Win 7 this December. At such time they will probably issue an update to Boot Camp (3.1, my guess). However, most users who have installed Win 7 (myself included) have had no difficulty with the wireless drivers. Most drivers (not all) needed in Win 7 are the same as Vista. Are you using the 32 bit or 64 bit version of Win 7? If it's the 64 bit, that might be why as not all drivers are yet available. Regards. [/QUOTE]
