WNDA3100v3 causing BSOD on network connect Windows 10

I just made a clean install of Windows 10 on my machine:

 

EVGA 131-GT-E767 X58

Intel i7-950 Bloomfield

Windows 10 Pro

 

The only thing I've installed is the MoBo chipset which has windows 10 support. I have the latest adapter driver 1.0.0.13 which has Windows 10 support. The driver installs fine and the genie as well. As soon as I connect to the wifi network I get a BSOD with the message:

 

PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA

WNDA3100v3.sys

 

The only thing I haven't tried is a direct ethernet connection to try and update Windows 10. I was hoping someone here might have a solution that will work. 

 

Thanks!

  • Hi Ahiro

    Welcome to the community!

    You cannot manage a Smart Managed Switch using SSH nor command line. Instead, a Smart Managed Switch is managed used Web interface (GUI) through HTTP.

    Command line (CLI) and Telnet/SSH are one of the differences between Smart Managed switches and Fully Managed switches.

    If you require SSH over Putty, you should take a look to our excellent M4100 switch series, cost effective L2+ Fully Managed standalone switches here:

    • Ah... finally... I've got it working.

      Used a wired connection to update Windows 10 to v1809 and then installed WNDA3100v3 1.0.0.13 As Administrator (it could have been the As Administrator option that may have made all the difference, and not so much the Windows updates).  No more BSODs this time.

        Tachyon,

         

        Glad you got it working. I'll try this approach at some point. This is way off topic, but I still can't understand why Microsoft decided to assume every machine is a shared workspace when they integrated NT into the mainstream design. The whole 'run as admin' concept doesn't make any sense for a workspace that only one person ever uses and causes all kinds of problems everytime windows introduces a new iteration.

      Hi Blanca,

       

      I tried doing just that, but oddly when I booted in safe mode I couldn't use my keyboard... I am sad to say my solution was to pick up a linksys adapter, which works fine :/
