1 edit | Atheros drivers, new AR5211.sys spotted 4.2.2.33
Hello,
I was searching for a wifi sniffer via google and found a trial verison of CommView by TamoSoft. What I did not expect is that they also built a newer version of the wireless driver for atheros cards, the installer places this in a "driver" folder inthe program's installed directory usually, C:\program files\CommViewWifi.
»www.tamos.com/
Click on download and look for CommView for Wifi, download and install it, pull what you need and be done with it. Now I must look for a compatible utility to run it. Windows' Wifi control panel works well with it so far, need to test computer-to-computer, this yielded a BSOD with the generic atheros drivers before on my card.
AR5211.sys version 4.2.2.33 TamoSoft rebranded it
Edit: Corrected version information.. nice to see this making the rounds on the net "forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/581849.html"
other info:
Atheros ACU version 4.2.0.384 works fine after installing it on top of Gigabyte's Atheros ACU 4.2.0.374.02 as the package I found was missing files for it (eg. Aegise5.dll, etc).
This driver can also be used in conjunction with Tamosoft's RCU.exe to change the regional domain and country codes in the card's EEPROM, but I have not been able to write 0x00 for the regdomain yet or force 0xFF (greeted by a BSOD if attempted upon closing RCU after the change with my current set up)... (searching for older hacked driver)
I have a DWL-AG530. |

Thanks for the find
These are in fact 4.2.2.33 so newer than 4.2.2.27
DriverVer = 08/13/2006,4.2.2.33 |

@128.250.x.x | These drivers do in fact work fine with the Atheros GUI for the 4.2.2.27 drivers |

Could someone post the AR5211.SYS along with the INF? I'm kind of curious to see the INF even though I don't need it. |

@211.90.x.x | Where is the RCU.exe that can change Atheros country setting? I have been looking for this option for months.
TIA |

Thanks for the link.
Has anyone used this driver with a wireless PC card yet?
Ex: D-Link DWL-G650 or Netgear WG311T |

@msh.de | 4.1.2.71 driver/utility installation and 4.2.2.33 driver file works fine with DWL-G650. |

join:2006-01-25 | The link works fine now. Something is wrong with your browser config then. You need to enable passive mode with your browser or FTP client. |

I recently got the DWL-G510 PCI card but not sure how to find out what chipset it uses. The box claimed it is H/W ver: B1 and F/W ver : 2.11, the CD installed the connect program, it shows V2.11 and driver 4.0.0.1414
Can some help me to identify what chipset does it with and does mentioned update drive that I can use with this PCI adpater or not please.
Cheers |

| The following link is the official page for the Atheros Linux drivers...their compatibility chart shows that you should be able to use the Atheros drivers without any problems.

I d/l and install latest driver from DLink site, now driver is ver:4.1.2.147, this is suppose for G520 as per DLink
»tsd.dlink.com.tw/ModelDocuView.a···JLFLNQJK
but it seems also for G510 as well. Now signal seems 2-3% better than before ver:4.0.0.1414 but still far better is needed.
Just don't understand why my Belkin works so nicely as expected and getting 75-80% in signal while this G510 gettting only 28-40% max. |
