Just the drivers. Put in your version of windows into the other box as well. BIOS updates are different and it's better to get up and running first.

This link may help: http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/resources/driverdownloads/

More likely, you picked the wrong installer. You said you were running windows 8. If you installed 64-bit windows, you need the 64-bit driver. And vice versa. 

Edit: Just tried it myself. Of course, it won't work since I have no compatible hardware. Make sure you have the correct installer for whichever version of Windows 8 you have. You can look up how to check if you have 32 or 64 bit.

Again... the same thing

 

Then, you most likely posted the wrong product page, meaning your mobo can't use this driver. What (exactly) does your motherboard's box have printed on the front? Many Gigabyte motherboards have the sniper branding so it can be easily confused.

Try this direct link from qualcomm support page. This is the direct driver for your LAN chip:

Possible. Last resort first though. Try this one, it's meant for alienware notbooks but still made for your killer nic:

http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/driverdetails?driverid=XPR3C#

Click download file and try that one. Also, go to "device manager" and check if anything is listed under "network adapters". If there isn't, check for a "unknown devices" tab. If you can find your network adapter in device manager, find the hardware ID. That could put you on the right track.
