So I partitioned the hard drive on my new laptop today in order to dual boot Windows 8 with Windows 7. All is working fine, with the exception of the wireless adapter. Windows 8 does not recognize the wireless drivers, and I'm currently uncapable of hardwiring the laptop due to the location of the router.
My issue is multi-faceted. A) Even though this model laptop has been on the market for 6+ months, when I head to ASUS' website, they don't list the wireless adapter that is currently installed. In Windows 7 Device Manager, the card is listed as a Realtek RTL8188CE PCI-E Wireless N card. However, ASUS doesn't bother listing anything made by realtek in the model series for the K53e laptop.
So, I headed to realteks website and downloaded the software for the driver, threw it on a thumb drive, and booted into Windows 8. The software won't run due to the fact that it's not a supported operating system.
Any ideas of what I can do to resolve this issue?
