USB Ethernet Adapter in Boot Camp on New MacBook Air (Late 2010)

Can anyone please confirm if Apple provides drivers for Boot Camp for the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter for the new MacBook Airs?

I really want to buy a new MBA but I need to be able to use Ethernet in Windows in Boot Camp.

Thanks,

Andrew

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

The drivers are indeed included. Just plug the adapter in and go. I have given mine a pretty good workout over the past few days. In fact, I have yet to find anything for which a driver was not included.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the response and confirmation. By the way, in Boot Camp, are you running Windows 7 or some other version of Windows? I heard that Boot Camp on the new MacBook Airs can only run Windows 7.

Thanks,

Andrew

My MBA was running fine on Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit with the USB ethernet adapter until I updated to Bootcamp 3.2. Now it fails to load the driver. I don't know if this was a coincidence or if BC 3.2 broke something
