mobilenvidia Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Yes I did :) Changed the way I do the drivers. All the latest drivers for WinXP/2000/Win9x will be here in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smax Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Ah. Will try these. EDIT: Sooo I seem to have the worst luck with wireless drivers. The ones that Apple gave me sucked... they disconnected all the time. I finally found one from Lenovo that works, but is a bit weird in that I can't uninstall it and it generally doesn't like it when I try to get it off my system. Eh, oh well. I installed these, and for some reason the lines saying what device IDs cover the generic Atheros cards are commented out. I uncommented them and force installed it. The computer seems to think that it works... but I can't see any wireless networks. I'll keep playing around with it though. Long story short, I'm thinking I'll go back to the uncooperative Lenovo drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smax Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 An explanation for the commented out generic drivers: it was released by D-Link and has lines specifically for D-Link cards. You can get around it by uncommenting the generic device IDs in the INF. Also important to note that it's only for the 5416 chipset. AR5008 and comparable D-Link cards only, you might be able to get other vendors working, but I'm not sure how the generic drivers work at this point as I can't get them to work on my computer yet. Still poking around though... Also, I don't think these drivers will work on Windows 9x. The files referenced in the INF for 9x installation aren't in the folder. Not that anyone uses Windows 9x with an 802.11n card anyway... Final edit: I'm giving up, I just don't think v6.0.3.100 is worth it. Try uncommenting the generic driver lines and try them if you really want, but they didn't work for me. I'd say use them only if you have a D-Link or Gigabyte card.

smax Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 As for the v6.0.3.94 drivers, these are the ones that I have been using, minus the installer program. Stable, generic drivers are supported, digitally signed, and, most importantly, they work. Use v6.0.3.94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest laser21 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi, thanks for adding those drivers!! Will you keep it updated? You would save me a lot of time looking elsewhere! Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinji257 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Any chance on a modified INF for these drivers? The inf for v7 and v6 seem to be extremely identical in terms of what registry keys are actually used. A modified INF is probably possible. I'm game to test it if you need someone to try. EDIT: These drivers do not work with my card anyways. Seems to work with only 5416 drivers where mine is a 5411 driver.

mobilenvidia Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'll have a look when i get some time. These driver are notoriously hard to mod, especially with not having XP to try it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiek2000 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Work Great on my Sparklan: http://www.oxfordtec.com/us/MiniPCI-Wirele...oduct_info.html Under XP. The Sparklan provided drivers would work for 5 minutes, then stop. Only a radio off then on would fix the problem. Unfortunately, that would only work for another few minutes. The latest drivers here worked like a champ. I am very happy. I tried the 7.X drivers, but they did not work under XP. These are the ticket for the XP users!!! Thanks!!!

Guest Flanders Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Why are these .exe files? And they're supposed to be updated via "update driver"?

®®® Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 It's an archive (like ZIP), but self-extracting. If you doubleclick the .EXE it decompresses the archive automatically. 7-Zip is far superior than .ZIP and enables us to compress all files we host to the most minimal size.

Guest laser21 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi, youre doing a really great job with providing those new drivers!! Since you provided the 6.0.4.13 my atheros 5008X is working great. Im having one small issue though. I have the Sparklan 124N card http://www.sparklan.com/product_details.php?prod_id=176 On my laptop there is a wireless on/off switch. When I turn it off for more then approx 1 minute, the card doesnt reconnect after I turn it on. In windows zero it shows my network, but doesnt connect to it, until I hit refresh network list. After that, it connects without problems. When I turn it of for just a short while, it reconnects without problems. I tried the v. 7 drivers. both connect with only 130mbps. Why not the usual 300? But they work quiet fine with reconnecting. Although it takes about 1min 15sec until they discover, the network. Do you have any ideas? Do you need more explanation? Really, thanks again, without you, I would be lost in the atheros land :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Anyone uses v7.4.2.105 or v7.4.2.75 with AR5008 on XP and get no signal? It's so strange that when I change back to V.6 and get very good signal again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
