I suggest that you should wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver. If the problem still persists, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system (only the beta version) and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed some old driver is not compatible with new OS. In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing. Remove and reinstall that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file and select the Compatibility tab click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box then try installing the device driver. I'd suggest installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode.
