I couldn't find SMCWLAN-G but I found SMCWPCI-G; there's apparently 2
versions of the card, one with Atheros 5005G chipset (well supported
under all OSes incl Win7) and one with RTL8185L chipset - support of
that under Win7 is debated. Which cards do you have? Also since most
drivers are supplied as .INFs they shouldn't be able to ask for a
specific OS?

Now that I think about it you are correct with your version of the name. The one I was having trouble with is likely to be the RTL chipset. That driver actually installed but did nothing. We'll have to check next Friday to see if we have a mix or just a single chipset... Worst case we just remove the ones which don't work and have a wired connection to those machines until replacements arrive.

I'll pass this info along as well. We have two volunteers living in the area who sometimes drop by during the week. They can check it out during the class breaks.

Later
