4. LAN Driver (Realtek PCIe GBE)
- Chipset: This was the foundation. The AMD Chipset Driver had to be installed first to recognize the USB ports and system bus properly.
- Graphics: The ATI Graphics Driver. Crucially, for this specific VAIO, you often needed the Sony-modified version rather than the generic AMD one to ensure the brightness controls (Fn keys) worked.
- Audio: The Realtek High Definition Audio Driver. Note: This had to be installed after the graphics driver because of the HDMI audio overlap.
- Network (LAN): The Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. Easy to find, but essential for getting online to download the rest.
- Network (Wi-Fi): This was the hardest. It was the Atheros Wireless LAN Driver. If the wrong one was installed (e.g., Intel), it would fail silently.
- Smart Network / SmartWi: This was the magic software that actually turned the wireless radio on.
- Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad: To bring back the scrolling gestures.
