Dlink DWA-552 under Windows 7 - 64-bit
Hi,
I've been having software driver problems with my Dlink DWA-552 under Vista. When I booted my Windows 7 64-bit partition, Windows effortlessly installed the correct driver set and I have no problems. I looked into this magic a bit further and discovered that Windows 7 had installed two drivers for my DWA-552, both from system32/drivers: athrx.sys by Atheros and vwifibus.sys by Microsoft. Under Vista only athrx.sys is installed, which explains why my DWA-552 does not work properly under Vista. I have not been able to get a correct driver install under Vista, driver update is clueless and Vista update is equally clueless as is software from Dlink. How do I manually install vwifibus.sys for my DWA-552 under Vista? |

Dowload the zip file from D-Link that contains the driver, just unzip it do
not run the setup program. If you installed the D-Link Network Manager before, uninstall it from the control panel. After all of this is done, go to the Device Manager, select your DWA-522, right click and select update drivers. Select that you want to udpdate drivers manually and point it to the drivers in the unzipped folder. Then let Windows Manage the Wireless Connection. -- David Vair CNE, CNA, MCP, A+, N+ "Administrator" wrote in message ... Can you not read, moron? Go back and read what I said, creep.

The driver package from Dlink does not contain the vital driver vwifibus.sys. I am posting from Windows 7 using a DWA552 to connect to the internet. I cannot get my DWA552 to work reliably in Vista, like it does in Windows 7 because I cannot find a way to manually install vwifibus.sys. Dlink only provides athrx.sys I think you guys are running around in cicles because you did not take the OP seriously. I'll check back in a week to see if you guys can find a solution. |

Dlink DWA-552 under Windows 7 - 64-bit
What the software "gurus" are talking about is a low quality solution for
newbies that does not work. To get to where they are talking about is even easier than they suggest. I uninstalled my DWA552 drivers and rebooted. Like magic, a DWA552 driver was installed, athrx.sys; I did not need to do a manual install of this driver. Here are the details for this driver prior to driver update: Provider: Atheros Communications Inc. File version: 7.6.1.204 build by WinDDK But there is still no vwifibus.sys I'm not even going to bother with driver update because it is pointless unless vwifibus.sys is provided. I'm posting from my Vista-32 partition. The internet connection is low bandwidth and unreliable. It craps out under high bandwidth demands and it craps out on its own within a few minutes just idle. Windows 7 with both athrx.sys and vwifibus.sys, provides rock solid high bandwidth internet connectivity. The problem is that Windows 7 is a piece of crap which is to be expected of beta software.

The vwifibus.sys is a new component of Win7 (provided by MS,
not present in Vista). So Atheros is not responsible for this file and can't provide it for other OS. But they are known to make pretty good drivers and have enough "gurus" to sort this out (-_-) -- pa Administrator wrote: What the software "gurus" are talking about is a low quality solution for newbies that does not work.

I can testify to the fact that vwifibus.sys is also not present in Vista 64-bit and that the quality of wireless internet connectivity is below professional standards.
