So I'm not trying to say that *NIX is uncommon, it's just not being used for providing WLAN in enterprise area. They don't make any products for enterprise use, simply because WLAN is not being used on server side for any purpose, you know, I've never even seen a server running a process/daemon for maintaining WLAN connection. I also think that you can't blame Atheros for how their hardware works on Linux.

Want some help with it? Qualcomm, you say? No, never heard of these guys, why don't you try to install Dell-bloody-whatever-package Version ? They can even rename it to something like Dell 1705, so you'll never know that there's an actual AR9485 inside. Laptop manufacturers don't provide any sort of 'help links' for parts they use, and you won't get anything but a passport for your WLAN adapter.

Their hardware makes its job, the software's being updated monthly (you can always get the recent version on Station-Drivers).Ĭlick to expand.The documentation might be a problem, but not for the end-user (for developers, yes): they don't get such thing as documentation in first place.

I personally have never had any sort of problems with Atheros products, since the very first AR5000 Series hardware many years ago (2004), and that's not the first time I hear people are going rough on Atheros, while praising Intel for. They had a page dedicated to drivers (before that deal with Qualcomm, now it's back, but only contains Ethernet NIC software). everything from 'Uninstall a program' that starts with ASUS), including 'ASUS ATK Software', then reboot, download the latest ATK package (go Package&hashedid=n/a, select 'Windows 8.1 64bit' and get the package from 'Global' source link), install it and reboot again. It might be fixed 'playing' w/ your ACPI software: try to uninstall every single bit of ASUS's crap (i. I believe that there's a problem with PCI-E Port used for connecting your WLAN adapter to PCI-E Root. Because the brand name is cooler, I guess? Their hardware makes its job, the software's being updated monthly (you can always get the recent version on Station-Drivers).
