Keep in mind that these are raw drivers, they're work perfectly, but include none of the fancy (useless) 'Killer' software features. However, the vendor and device ID won't match, so you'll need to do the following to install it. On the Atheros site under 'AR816X Family Drivers' choose the 'WIN_AR816X' option from the dropdown box. As such you can download newer, unmodified drivers from Atheros directly, just google for: atheros+download and visit the first link. After a little research I determined that the 'Qualcomm Atheros llama Ke2200 Series PCI-E Ethernet Controller' is actually a 'Qualcomm Atheros AR813X/AR815X/816X Series PCI-E Ethernet Controller' Specifically it's a slightly modified AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet. It's worse than pointless when it causes system instability and crashes. Most people will be able to tell you that the 'Killer Ethernet' is fairy pointless, I didn't buy the laptop for it at any rate. After several crashes related to the bad Bigfoot Killer Ethernet software and driver, I decided to dig a little deeper.
