Wireless kartica ne deluje na win 7

Ok guys, for those who's looking for a solution on how to make this adapter work in Windows 7 both x86 & x64, I've got an answer, and it's different from "crack it on the wall" and "throw this ____ into trash".
1. First of all, plug the controller into an empty PCI slot of your MB.
2. Run Windows, let it try to determine and install the device.
3. Regardless of failure/success, download fresh drivers from http://www.trendnet.com/langen/download... (check the version on the bottom of your card) and install them.
4. Reboot.
5. Go to "Network and Sharing Center" --> "Choose Homegroup and Sharing Options" and add the machine to a homegroup or create a new homegroup.
6. Uninstall Trendnet utility/software installed in Step 3.
7. Reboot.
8. Wait till Windows is loaded and then shutdown the system.
9. Unplug the power cord from your PC and then PHYSICALLY remove the TEW-423PI from the PCI slot. Wait 10secs and plug it back in.
10. Load the OS, Windows will recognize and install the adapter.
11. Reboot.
12. Finally, it works! If you're trying to connect to the network for the 1st time and theres an error, a yellow "!" in connection status bar, just REBOOT once again and it will work just fine.

Had the same problem(s) with the constant disconnecting, and what I call "micros-freezes" where the mouse freezes in place for 3-10 seconds every couple of minutes, and also had a microsoft wireless utility running in the system tray alongside the trendnet utility, and the two of them were always fighting it out for control over the card.

The actual chipset that this card contains are manufactured by Realtek as the 8185.

I guess Trendnet buys the chipset's from them, and then "repackages them" with their name/logo and most importantly, their drivers/utility software. The problem is, Trendnets driver's were last updated in 2005, and the Realtek drivers have a 2010 date.

To make this card run properly, I suggest the following:

1. Go to Realtek.com and click on Downloads. Then under the download search that appears on the far left side, type in: RTL8185L and click GO. (If you can't connect to the internet with your computer because this card is totally misbehaving, then download it to another computer and move it over with a USB stick)
2. Then select your operating system, and one of the download sites that appear in BOLD BLACK CAPS to the right. Note: The first one or two sites, I selected were dead links. I think the UK one worked for me.
3. Power off the PC, and remove the card
4. Uninstall the Trendnet software using it's own uninstall utility that appears when you select Trendnet from the programs list
5. After its done, power down, and power back up.
6. Double click on the "Driver_Utility_tew etc etc" zip file and extract it.
7. Then find the Autorun application file, and double click on it.
8. Go through the install process.
9. Shut down the computer when its finished the install. (Note, you'll see a little red "Crab" in the system tray with an X through it saying hardware not found. That's ok.
10. Reinstall the card, and power up the PC.
11. Give it a while, it'll find the card and marry everything up.
12. Then open the Realtek wireless LAN utility either via the icon in the system tray or via the Start / Programs way.
13. Find your network under Available Network, type in your network password.
14. Give it a litle bit, and once its authenticated, and got a network address - you're up and running.

Sem naredil vse po korakih vendar žal brez uspeha... Sploh mi je ne zazna. Vseeno hvala ti za vso pomoč !:D
Zgleda da bo potrebno kupit novo wireless kartico, imaš mogoče kakšen predlog ? nimam pojma kaj moram sploh gledat pri nakupu teh kartic ker sem do sedaj bil na pc-ju vedno "ožičen" hehe. Mislim pa da ne potrebujem neke močne kartice saj je router oddaljen par metrov stran oz. ločuje me en zid.
