I've updated my Asus laptop G73JW to Windows 8 and found only three important things that needed to be installed from Asus.
1) To enable the "Fn" + ... buttons, I've had to install the "ATKACPI driver and hotkey-related utilities" found on asus support web-site under "Other". This enables the key functions (such as keyboard light, sound volume controls, etc.)
2) I had VERY annoying problem where while typing, cursor would randomly jump to a mouse-pointer location. Apparently wasn't the only one with the problem. I found the solution by installing the "Synaptics TOUCHPAD driver" found under the "Touchpad" section. In the settings, I've checked to "disable internal pointing device when external is connected" (found on last tab) - this disconnects the touchpad when I have my external mouse connected and the annoying mouse-jumping problem is solved.
3) Finally, I was able to connect WiFi with no problem, but the ethernet (Atheros AR8131) adapter would just stay disabled and not recognize LAN cable plugged in. Trying to enable would not do anything. Once again installing the driver "Atheros LAN Driver" from asus support section "LAN" fixed the issue.
