The utility has a separate action to install firmware as well as configuring the radio for home use. I've used previous utility versions to install firmware on a blank radio, as well as, installing firmware manually and having a blank radio wasn't an issue. The firmware install process doesn't care.


For your laptop that's acting up...
- Disable the wireless NIC and any other extra NIC hardware, leaving just the one Ethernet port. The utility can get confused if more than one exists.
- Disable firewalls and anti-virus
- Don't power the radio until after you've clicked "Firmware" on the utility.

I haven't seen the message about missing NIC drivers before (that I remember) though.
