The requested operation was unsuccessful.

Vizo - Thin, Vizio has no beta drivers, can't find any on Qualcomm either....

Tried 8's test mode / disable driver signing mode (Not sure how to do that with 8, I think mashing shift + F8 at boot enters safe mode list)

I've got the same problem. My VIZIO Ultrabook was working fine with the consumer preview, but I updated to RTM and no luck. I dug up an HDMI to Ethernet adapter I had and I can get connectivity that way, but no luck finding a new driver. Keep me posted if you find a solution.

Bought this Sony Vizio 15.6 today, Installed RTM Win 8 , and wham-o no Wifi , This ruined my afternoon. No Win8 drivers on Sony or Qualcomm site ether

Sony Vizio? You're confused.

I'm sure the drivers will be out by general release, but it sucks that they don't work now

One clue, with RP install, the device shows up in device manager with as not having a driver at all, then I can install the Win 7 driver to get it to work.

In Win 8 RTM, it shows up in device manager as having detected a driver but the driver not working properly. Hope a bunch of Qualcomm people having same issue get to this thread and pump it up so we can get it resolved asap. Vizo, Vaio, same chip probably.

Uninstall the device and uninstall the driver.

Then attempt to install the Windows 7 driver.

Been there, done that.

This is why I won't touch Atheros gear if I can avoid it :\

Hope it works out for you.

Vizio http://www.vizio.com...-light/overview its a New Sony Ultra portable (Microsoft Signature edition) . for now I went out and purchased a D-Link USB Nano dongle $30 . at least I have WiFi , next issue is the Sony Track pad. (Sentelic Track Pad ) I did update this to the newest Win 7 driver. but from time to time the Pointer will freeze, and jerky sometimes. Everything else works great

You can find unofficial Atheros driver releases pretty easy on Google or whatever, though. They often work better than the OEM provided stuff.

Sorry it's NOT a Sony - its just a Viizio , my bad . I was thinking Sony due to the large Sony display next to the Vizio laptops . I'm an idiot
