Found it! I downloaded the chipset driver from the Gateway site and I was able to get the SM Bus Manager driver. :-)

Hi All:

I'm late to the party but I hope someone will read this and give me a hand. I have been able to get this little cutie functional under Win XP between the excellent instructions here as well as some of the links below. However, I still can't get the SM bus manager driver. I don't know if it's me or if the page has changed but the link for the SM bus in this article takes me to the same page as the video drivers and the only link I see is the one that I downloaded and used for the video? What am I missing? Thanks for all of the great help!

If you want to make it so that the RAM isn't constantly pegged to 100% on that 2GB RAM, buy yourself a single 4GB RAM chip, it'll definitely solve all those problems.

I'm stuck on the Wi-Fi too. I downloaded the file indicated in this article for the Wi-Fi stuff, unzipped the directory on my desktop and looked inside. There is no executable ?...May be a dumb question but how to I get the files installed exactly ?

Although my router(dlink 665) doesn't support 5ghz it does show up as N at up to 150mbs, so no complaints there.
The only headache I have is when doing a large file transfer to the netbook via wifi my mouse(Logi MX Revolution,bluetooth) becomes all but useless.

Hi,

So I did it. I bought the LT31 and am posting this comment with it.
I used all the drivers in the article. The INF file for the wireless was a bit tricky. Having to create a new file with the name INF and downloading the text. I had to wait for that zip file with the sys files to download it took a few seconds before it showed me it was available to download.
I also had to install the sound drivers KC recommended. I installed the synaptics touchpad driver because being able to change those settings was important to me. The Gateway links weren't working so I used the Acer AO751h drivers. I think there the same they are available here http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/ click on the Aspire One - AO751h link.

I didn't install the Chicony webcam drivers as they aren't important to me and the link wasn't working on the Gateway site.

Thanks. God Bless.

Aaron.

Everything went well except that it did not detect my sound driver. Anyone know which sound driver to install?

Looks like it *is* N capable, just not published, since the N is still a draft and there's no certification...

I thought I screwed up the Netbook when I installed Office 2007. Turns out I hadn't, but by the time I figured it out I really had. So I wiped it again and installed XP Home SP3, plus all the XP drivers directly downloaded from the Gateway site.

o) The single graphics kit does the Southbridge, video driver, ATI Catalyst Center, and .NET all in one.
o) Not sure what added value the Cardreader driver added, other than fancy icons for specific media types
o) Launchmanager also doesn't do much - No programmable keys, but does add an On Screen Display for when you press some of the fn key combinations (Volume, Mute, Bluetooth, Touchpad)
o) Bluetooh and Broadcom drivers installed, but of course, they don't come with the base machine.

Hi,

A good URL is http://support.gateway.com/...

This will list some drivers that you may need for XP for the LT31 netbook.

Thanks. God Bless.

where did you get the .NET to install after the video card? and when you did this did everything work out good like the webcam still worked and everything?

what was the performance like compared to vista on this netbook and what was it like compared to the other netbooks currently running vista? would you recommend updating to windows 7? im worried about the drivers not working with windows 7.. :/

Thanks for this very detailed and useful "how-to" on downgrading to XP on the Gateway LT3103u. I bought this netbook a couple of weeks ago and I really like everything about it, but the processor struggles with VIsta. i am even seeing 100% processor use at times, so i might try this guide. Thanks again.

I have this netbook also and I love it... I have put Ubuntu on it and really the only problem I'm having is with the WiFi. Can't seem to get it to work. Other than that it works awesome. If anybody finds a way to get Ubuntu 64 bit with the wifi working please post it. I need help...

I totaly agree!!!!
I have Win7rc1 on mine and it's great! Peppier than Vista was, Love it.
I do have an order in for the $50 upgrade for 7 so for me this pc is where it's going(like i'd ever go back to Vista).
I am looking into the possibilities of OSX on this beast though. Just for fun.
