Atheros AR5002G Wireless Network Adapter Help
I can't install driver(s) for this PCI wireless adapter.
Device Manager shows I need a driver. I think it is a Atheros AR5002G Wireless Network Adapter. When I try to install the driver provided by DriverAgent, I get an error "QMI module missing". Google has references to this error but I have not found anything that works. Can anyone help? Thanx Big Fred |

Thanx Big Fred Is this your Linksys WMP110 (version 1 or version 2) ? This is the version 1 driver. When you look at the VEN and DEV info in the net5416.inf file, it is VEN_168C&DEV_0023 http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downl...110_driver.zip If I look in PCI.IDS, that INF corresponds to the following hardware. http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids 168c Atheros Communications Inc. 0023 AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter That is for version 1. ******* For version 2, the advice here is, that a different chipset was used, an Ralinktech chipset. Cisco leaves you on your own to find this driver. www.ralinktech.com.tw http://homecommunity.cisco.com/links...age.id=2044 8 ******* How are you concluding it is an Atheros AR5002G ? Is this a different product than the one we were discussing recently ? It might be easier to trace down, using the "popular name" than the chipset name. Atheros has a few websites, but it would be nice to have some other info as a double check. Paul |

Atheros has a few websites, but it would be nice to have some other info as a double check. Paul I have been able to get it to work and am using it right now. It is communicating with my Verizon router just fine and recognizes the latter's WEP address okay too. I have disabled the CAT5 connection which was my objective, and all is okay. Now I have to just figure out how I accomplished this. DriverAgent originally identified the adapter as Atheros AR5002G Wireless Network Adapter Driver, and correctly indicated it needed a driver which was R223648.exe. That failed however during installation with a known (Google) problem 'QMI module is missing'. My review this morning shows I downloaded comm_driver_xspan_wireless_v.6.0.2.95.09.zip linked from one of the suggested solutions to the QMI problem that seemed to do the trick. Driver Agent now identifies the adapter as Atheros AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter, and indicates it is current and okay. My Device Manager now shows driver athw.sys for the adapter under System32\drivers as is normal. Thanks Paul Big Fred |
