Atheros ar5005g wirless driver problems.

[Krichukz]

Hello,
So i have problems with getting the right driver for atheros ar5005g (win7)
The Windows 7 - auto installs the driver, but it does not find any wifi sid.
PC - fujitsu siemens amilo a1650
The pc is really old and i have no clue how to fix it.


Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

If the Atheros wireless network adapter is listed with no errors in Device Manager, then it's not a driver issue.

I gather that the wireless adapter is not finding any WiFi networks (SSIDs) - - correct?

Try restarting the laptop.

My wife's Vista laptop had that same problem recently but a Windows restart fixed it.

Well that does not help at all, can it be that That atheros wirless device does not support win7?
