R210 II NIC driver for Windows 7 x64

Good day!


I apologize in advance if this has been answered before, but a searched provided no results.

I am trying to install a R210 II server with Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit. The OS, unfortunately, cannot be Server 2008 R2 as the client requires SCADA software that is only supported on Windows 7.


I would think that the driver designed for Server 2008 R2 should still work on Windows 7 Professional, but when trying to install the driver package (Broadcom NIC) the installer quits stating it is only applicable to Server 2008/R2, etc.


Does anyone have an alternative for me?


Win7 does install a Microsoft provided driver, but returns a "Device cannot start" error in Device Manager, which I usually find is driver-related.

Thanks in advance!

Dhiren
