Hello,
I'm looking for a driver that could make my Bluestork WiFi card connected via PCI work under Win7. I bought it for winXP, and when I built my new PC with Windows 7 64 bits, I salvaged the WiFi card (for now, I'm using a USB dongle).
I installed the utility provided to set up the WiFi, but it doesn't work under Seven. No worries, I removed it since Windows handles it well with the dongle.
However, the driver provided with the PCI card (on the CD, and also available on Bluestork's support site, in the FTP/drivers section) is intended for Vista or WinXP in 64 bits.
I can install it manually, but it is not recognized because the driver is not digitally signed.
Here’s what the system shows me:
Device Status:
Windows cannot verify the digital signature of the drivers required for this device. It is possible that a recent hardware or software change installed a damaged or incorrectly signed file, or that it is malware from an unknown source. (Code 52)
As a result, the WiFi card appears in the system but remains inactive.
802.11g/b Wireless LAN Client Adapter
Driver Provider: Customer
Driver Date: 30/12/2005
Driver Version: 3.2.3.2
Digital Signature: Not digitally signed
I sent two messages to Bluestork, but they don't seem very responsive...
Do you have an alternative driver that works under Seven for this card, or a way to modify the existing driver (netmw126.inf) so that Win7 thinks it is digitally signed?
Thank you in advance for your insights!
Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 10.0.1

What a hassle...
Well, I managed it since I removed the USB dongle and the PCI Wi-Fi card is showing green!
The solution is particularly complex, as for some people the driver crashed when they had more than 2 GB of RAM. It works here with 8 GB.
I had to use a modified Netgear WG311v3 driver, since the chipset of the card is a common Marvell 88W8335 found in all three brands: Bluestork BS-WG PCI, Marvell Libertas 802.11b/g, and Netgear WG311v3.
The Marvell Libertas driver retrieved automatically by Windows Update does not work. The PCI card refuses to operate (Code 10).
The modified Netgear WG311v3 driver (Marvell v1.0.0.53 Driver) can be found here:

Then use DSEO13b.exe mentioned just above to bypass the missing digital signature required by Windows 7.
In DSEO13b, choose: "Enable Test Mode" [Validate with OK], then "Sign a System File" [OK], citing the installation path of the driver, which is:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\MRVW13C.sys
Restart, remember to re-establish a connection with the ADSL box to connect, and that's it!
Hoping this can help someone who is struggling one of these days (or myself if my PC crashes badly...)
