In this forum they state they got the XP x64 version of the Realtek drivers to work on Win7: <a href="http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/313539-realtek-rtl8185-troubles-with-windows-7/">http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/313539-realtek-rtl8185-troubles-with-windows-7/</a><br>

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

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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
