Windows 7 Windows 7 Beta Updates

[Minaithnir]

I have installed windows 7 on my pc and the wireless network card and wired network portion of my motherboard do not work with any drivers currently available. When i was installing win7 off my XP partition i noticed it download updates off the web.

My question, is there any way to download these updates on my winxp partition and manually upgrade the windows 7 one? Much like many of us do with the likes of service packs and office update packs?

Note: I have an Airlive Wireless PCI (WN 5000PCI) and an ASUS P5E-V HDMI Motherboard, if anyone knows how to fix these on Windows 7 i would appreciate the email as well
