Notes:
1. There are 2 wireless drivers, one is atheros and the other is bluetooth. If you have proble to identify your wireless driver and both drivers above didn;t work. Get the hardware ID for the wireless and post it here. To get the hardware ID you can refer to my post here. 

2. Use the hardware ID to get any drivers you can't install. I expect co-processor drivers will be one of the missing drivers in certain model because most of the R3000 series use Intel processor. Only few use ADM processor. 

3. Need Instruction with pictures? Do let me know because i didn't put any image to reduce page load speed. 

4. Your feedback is important for me. Do let me know which work and which didn't, spend a whole day for this one.
