Ok now it appears I finally solved my driver problem, I've downloaded soem
Atheros driver for my card, version 7.2.0.299 or something (maybe newer) and it identifies and turns on my device. BUT the card keeps freezing my system. I have both XP and Vista installed and it freezes both of them. After some time of running, Windows just freeze and I have to reset. Is this caused by a wrong driver version? I tried to download drivers via Windows Update (with UTP cable connected) but it found NOTHING. I would really love to use this card but I can't since my working on PC is limited by that freezing. Also it freezes less often in XP then Vista, in XP it is cca every 3 hour, in Vista after 10 minutes (sometimes when it starts, it freezes) "Barb Bowman" wrote: where did you find the driver? what does it show in device manager?

anything in event logs?
I can't tell you for sure that it is a hardware conflict, but it is possible. one thing that concerns me is that you refer to a driver that you found, but are unable to pull down the correct Vista driver from Windows Update. can you go into device manager and display this NIC and then Update Driver? what happens?

When I try to update the device driver with Windows Update, it says the one I
have is the most current one (after installed that Atheros one) But when I didn't have any driver isntalled, it just simply couldn't find any driver for it. You told me about using Windows Update to get the Vista driver but it didn't find any for me. "Barb Bowman" wrote: anything in event logs?

I'm wondering if the card itself is defective at this point. It's
really hard to tell at this point, but you have two symptoms. I don't know how long you've had this card. any chance of exchanging it?

It's new (have it for one week cca) and works. In XP, it works but sometimes
my system freeze. In Vista, it freeze more often. I'll probably send it back and buy another one or exchange this one :/ "Barb Bowman" wrote: I'm wondering if the card itself is defective at this point.

I'll probably send it back and buy another one or exchange this one :/ "Barb Bowman" wrote: I'm wondering if the card itself is defective at this point. It's really hard to tell at this point, but you have two symptoms. I don't know how long you've had this card. any chance of exchanging it?

You told me about using Windows Update to get the Vista driver but it didn't find any for me. "Barb Bowman" wrote: anything in event logs? I can't tell you for sure that it is a hardware conflict, but it is possible. one thing that concerns me is that you refer to a driver that you found, but are unable to pull down the correct Vista driver from Windows Update. can you go into device manager and display this NIC and then Update Driver? what happens?

BUT the card keeps freezing my system. I have both XP and Vista installed and it freezes both of them. After some time of running, Windows just freeze and I have to reset. Is this caused by a wrong driver version? I tried to download drivers via Windows Update (with UTP cable connected) but it found NOTHING. I would really love to use this card but I can't since my working on PC is limited by that freezing. Also it freezes less often in XP then Vista, in XP it is cca every 3 hour, in Vista after 10 minutes (sometimes when it starts, it freezes) "Barb Bowman" wrote: where did you find the driver? what does it show in device manager?

The driver is correct and the most current one but it still can't turn on. The card itself seems to be active (the light is on) but I can't use it. "Roman" wrote: Well, I just can't find any driver for this piece of hardware. I tried it via windows update and I was not successful. When I tried to search some forum topics I couldn't find any reply that would help me. Or is the driver available now? "Barb Bowman" wrote: what problems are you having exactly?
