Windows 7 [64 bit] disables Wifi card on startup because " cannot verify the digital signature for the driver"

Using F8 every time I start the computer is a hassle. Is there anything better?
It's a 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Adapter. Device Manager says it's made by Marvel. The Marvel website doesn't seem to offer an update; telling Device Manager to update the driver reports "You have the most up-to-date driver.

I can't guarantee this will work for you, but you can try it...
Make certain you do step 1, because otherwise you might not be able to get your wifi back again...

1) Download the latest driver from Marvel
2) Open the device manager (DEVMGMT.MSC)
3) Right-click the wireless connection, and "Uninstall" it
4) When the verification comes up, tick the box to remove the driver completely.

5) Reboot

6) Run the installation for the driver from Marvel - it doesn't matter if Windows detects, installs drivers, etc. for the WiFi - run that installer first thing. (It should "overrule" Windows' detection.)
7) Reboot again

This should successfully remove what might be deemed by Windows as a "bad" driver for reasons I'm not going to speculate...

Please let us know if this worked!

Alabalcho's suggestion did not work.

I've tried to get a current driver from the Marvell website, and what I was able to download is a zip file, "win7-server.zip" Not clear this is the needed file. Anybody know more about it, where best to extract it to, etc?
