    I tried several ones for WLAN , inluding these: http://www.atheros.cz/download.php?athe ... G&system=3 and the officials for XP. Device manager is not showing any conflict for WLAN and the card has the name of "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" but i can't find any Wifi networks and the Wifi led doesnt power on.

    LAN network is showing an error under Device manager: The device annot start

    Is there somebody running Wifi or LAN in Vista?

    Your problem with not seeing any networks could be the same as mine.

    Originally I had that problem too no matter what drivers I installed. Turns out that somehow the driver would shut off windows wireless zero configuration.

    What i finally did was install the artheros wireless utility and u'll b able 2 use your wireless.

    Good point. Could you give me the link for the Atheros Wireless Utility?. Your WIFI led is on with the Atheros Wireless Utility?

    Your LAN network card is working?

    Hi to all....

    I have installed Vista Home Premium on my AA1-150. Everything is working very well except that I cannot get the LAN or WLAN drivers to install correctly. The LAN & WLAN show up with exclaimation marks in the device manager with error cade (10). I have the latest drivers from links found on this sight.

    I have read through the forum and it appears that many have these two devices working. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

    Mike M.

    Tried installing the WLAN driver through Device Manager, but for some reason it keeps loading the RealTek Lan driver. I was able to install the arethos WLAN, and it worked great for about an hour, then it dropped the connection and its not in Device Manager anymore. Any ideas?

    I found version 7.6.0.126 for the Atheros WLAN on the Atheros site, which worked well. After updating Vista Home Premium through Windows Update, it seems that the WLAN is now at 7.6.0.172, which is also working well.

    My LAN connection isn't working, I can't seem to find any vista drivers for this. Can someone provide a link to the download?

    I got the wireless to work after finding a download in a previous post.

    Ah I figured it out, i download the driver patch from this forum post, and the wireless works and thru the windows update I got the drivers for the video card and the LAN connection to work, so you don't need to worry about those with vista sp1.
