I tried that. The trouble is that the Windows driver (according to its file
name: "mb_driver_lan_atheros_813x_815x_816x.exe") covers a wide range of NIC
chips. This is not a driver tailored specifically for this board. So the list
of PCI IDs in the driver's .inf file is not a indication for what is actually
installed on the board.
