In Control Panel your network card will now be called "Qualcomm Atheros 8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)" Keep in mind that these are raw drivers, they're work perfectly, but include none of the fancy (useless) "Killer" software features.ĭownload the file above and extract it to a temporary location.įirst, (because removing the killer Ethernet software is part of the goal here) you should go to control panel and uninstall the existing bigfoot killer Ethernet package from "Programs and Features".ġ) Head to control panel and open "Device Manager".Ģ) Under "Network Adapters" right click on the e2200 Killer network card and choose "Update Driver Software".ģ) Click "Browse my computer for driver software".Ĥ) Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.ħ) Find the folder you extracted and navigate to "AR813x_AR815x_AR816x_v2.1.0.15_WHQL\Common_Dri\Win8_64"Ĩ) Select "L1C63圆4.inf" and click Open, then OK.ĩ) From the list of drivers choose "Qualcomm Atheros 8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)" However, the vendor and device ID won't match, so you'll need to do the following to install it.
