When I use Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter in win7, it cannot be recognized by win7, how to fix it? Thanks.
MacBook Air, Windows 7
Until Apple adds support for it to the Bootcamp drivers download you can't.

When you go into Windows 7 Device Manager -- does the thunderbolt controller even show up?
This is how it looked in MBA2011:
But I can't find it in MBA2012:
So has Apple said when they will support thunderbolt to ethernet adapter in Bootcamp Drivers? Seems like shallow thinking by someone.
I think it works if you boot into Windows with the Thunderbolt device already connected. If no Thunderbolt device is connected during boot up, then Thunderbolt doesn't appear. Hope they fix this.
It's no use, in device manager of win 7, the ethernet device is marked with yellow "!". It seems there is no right driver is loaded for it.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling boot camp drivers.
I've found what looks like a possible solution here:

I can't vouch for its effectiveness, though, as I was searching for compatibility information before I buy the next laptop.
Please let me know if this worked out OK in your case.
It works! Thanks a lot.
