I'm sure it's possible to get it working under Windows 7 as many folks do, but for my situation, it was not worth the hassle.
I've been on XP 64bit since I got my N12. So I didn't know there were issues with Windows 7. But from my understanding (and keep in mind I am new to the N12), is that since the update of the N12 FW drivers, we are no longer using mLan. My understanding that it is using the FW now and not the mLan. I think I read that in this thread, but it may have been elsewhere. I think you can validate this in your device manager. SO! if you are using mLan, that might mean you are installing an older version of the drivers. The latest version doesn't use mLan and may be upgraded for Windows 7.

Please let me know... cause I do plan to upgrade to Win 7 sometime in the near future.
