a110-ab wireless xp problem

Ok first i have a acer aspire one 8gig with 512ram ( a110-ab)

i installed windows on it few times different ones and the wireless will not work at all in device manager it shows unknown device

i have installed the custom windows on here with drivers - i downloaded drivers from official website and from other users and nothing is working

its fine in linux thoe


any ideas

thanks

 

No one else know nothing - this laptop is absolutly crap if you cant use wireless on xp - acer support tell me to use there drivers on website they dont work for crap

 

The built in wireless from Atheros really sucks at times, drivers have issues and windows goes wacky sometimes just trying to see networks. I found its just best to replace with another card. i use http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GN-WS30N-RH&cat=WLS and it only costs 10$. if you know how to install the card and find the drivers its well worth the upgrade

 

jjjacer,

I see your GIGABYTE AirCruiser has three antenna connectors. How many antennas are you using? How does it compare with the original athros?

 

i gave the wrong link, this is the right card http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GN-WS31N-RH&cat=WLS, it just uses the two radio connectors. so far i noticed a stable signal compared to the atheros, and i get speeds of 134mbps to my linksys wrt110 router. havent tried it in linux but so far i didnt have any problems in windows as i always can see networks unlike the atheros were it wouldnt detect any half the time.

 

I had same problem at boot it would say network available but when yo try to connect "no networks in range" . i also tried 5 different drivers. i changed to Win7 and WOW what a difference... i do have a AOA 150 so i dont know if you can use win7 on yours......
