'Copithorne' I can appreciate the difficulty of obtaining a driver for any Atheros card, either for a Wireless and/or a Bluetooth 1/2-PCIe card. I'll start over looking for a driver at the above site. How do I get the driver for this module?Įdit 10 minutes later: On rereading the device manager, I see that the module is AR5BWB222. So, I could uninstall the WLAN module and the reinstall ath driver, except that as mentioned above, I can't find an AR5B22 driver. Doesn't seem likely that there are two sets of drivers for one module.

I assume this means that the driver for Bluetooth portion of the module is also working. Following the links to update the driver, I wasn't given a driver download, because I was told I already have the latest driver. On a side note, I found that under network Adapters, the AR5B22 module is listed, and the device driver is shown as working. Is there an actual site for Atheros modules? This is an 'unofficial' site, and appears to be incomplete, possibly not legitimate. After reviewing the above, I went to this link, - as shown above, and could not find a driver for a AR5B22 WLAN + Bluetooth module. It was working but Win 10 stopped me, so I'm a little bit grumpy. My Acer V5-531 Bluetooth driver was disabled by Windows 10 - it was working for a while (one day) after up-grading from Win 7, but then I got a message in the Action Centre that my driver was being disabled because it wasn't compatible with Win 10.

Hit OK, then Next and the driver (s) will then begin to install.Īlthough they are for Windows 8 they should work for Windows 10, at least according to what I've been able to determine based on some quick researching.
