DELL Atheros WLAN N5050 driver problem

Hi, I bought a n5050 with ubuntu pre-installed so I installed windows7 but I can't find the wlan driver.

The card is Atheros AR9485 but I can't find anywhere in the list of drivers of dell or anywhere else. I used google, found a few links, but all what I downloaded did not work. I even found a post on a forum saying that this card is defective and that guy has purchased another model on ebay to have solved it.

Anyone have any idea?

  • Satellite S50D - A - 10 G - accidentally uninstalled Atheros WLAN driver

    Hey,.

    So, be a fool, I accidentally uninstalled the Atheros driver, and then I noticed that my laptop is therefore more able to detect my WiFi at home. After looking around, online, apparently it's because I uninstalled Atheros? (Sorry, I'm a noob to computer).

    So I try to download the driver for my laptop, but I can't seem to find where to download the driver. My laptop is the Satellite S50D - A - 10 G, and I do not know where to look. I tried to look on the Toshiba.com site, and they said that my serial number was invalid etc..

    Advice and assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    Sorry, I have very little idea of what I'm doing!

    I ve checked the Toshiba download page and found the Atheros WLAN driver.
    You can download it if you visit http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Please choose your Satellite S50D-A, with the PSKKWE part number and you will find it.

    If there is still some problem let us know.

  • Satellite L20-196 - updates to the Atheros WLAN driver

    As may relative novice, I ask why Toshiba have updated the version of the driver (Windows XP) wireless lan Atheros three times in the last two months? The last update 25/05/11. It would not be because it's still a beta version and it would be better to wait for a final version?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Only the Toshiba himself knows why they have updated the driver. Here it s only a user to user forum so I doubt someone can answer your question because only this is no people of Toshiba.

    But why is it so important? If you n t have any problems you can forget the driver updates. This is only necessary if something doesn't work properly.
    Theoretically the new drivers don t contains bug fixes and supports Atheros WLAN cards. Who knows?

  • Dell Inspiron 15R SE AMD video driver problems (7520)

    Hello

    Updated Windows Installer update drivers AMD GPU for me earlier. I think the problem is that it has installed the AMD site instead of graphics drivers switchable drivers that are compatible with my laptop (Inspiron 15R SE).

    All programs that use the AMD card crashes when I start the system, including the Catalyst Control Center and the switchable graphics program. I tried to get into windows to display advanced options, but windows stops responding when I open the menu (Gray screen for about a minute then it returns with the window closed).

    Dxdiag crashes if I start it, and if I try to run again he asks me if I want to run without Direct3D. If I press 'No', it crashes. If I accept, he let me in but does not detect the graphics card AMD.

    I tried to uninstall the drivers and re - download coupons Dell website, but the problem persists.

    I'm running an AMD Radeon HD m 7730 GPU and 4000 HD Intel integrated graphics.

    TL; DR: All programs set to use graphic crash dedicated. Drivers say they have updated, but the problem is still there. Cannot access driver rollback screen (windows crash).

    If you need more information, just ask. I run the Dell Diagnostics tool and he found nothing wrong, so it is a driver problem.

    Hello

    I followed the steps you posted. Uninstall driver AMD asked me to restart later, so I allowed him to. I was greeted with a BSOD whenever I started. I tried to boot my Dell driver recovery disk, but there is no drive detected. I finally decided I had to do a system restore.

    The good news is that the problem is resolved.

    Bad news is that I lost all my files. This time I am disabling the windows driver updates...

  • Satellite L35 (US) with Atheros AR5005G wireless connection problems

    I have a Toshiba L35 (Windows Media Center Operating System) with the software WiFi Atheros AR5005G. This machine was purchased in the United States.

    While in the United States the Wi - FI connection to a router (Linksys) using Windows to configure was instant without any problem.

    I am now in England and when I try to connect to a Modem/Router (3 com), use Windows to configure, connection is spasmodic with what makes a connection on every five attempts. Several times I have to use the repair connection device trying to connect. When it connects the connection is good. When you use the repair it shows unable to renew your IP address if it connects. On other occasions, I use the network connection Panel and 'disable' then 'activate' then most guarantees a connection.

    The laptop provides instant connection when you use a card PCMCIA WiFi with Windows to configure. While the card is inserted the s computer WiFi connect instant however when the card is removed and the computer restarted the same problems occur for a computer, free WiFi!

    Other laptops have no problems to connect to my Modem/Router. I am convinced that it is working properly.

    All regional/language settings in the control panel have been updated with the United Kingdom.

    No undates are available for the Atheros Driver or BIOS.

    Anyone can help identify the problem/possible settings to change?

    Hello

    Satellite L35 is a portable American designed for the American market. BIOS and drivers should be downloaded from the Toshiba site we and not on Toshiba Europe site.

    However, the error message Impossible to renew your IP address is known to me and my brother had the same problem with the Intel card. I just updated the WLan driver and used the Intel Proset utility for WLan configuration.

    I see that you have the Atheros card. The Atheros also provide an Atheros WLan client utility. Try to use instead of the clean Windows configuration.
    In addition, place check WLan card properties. You will find energy saving option. Please turn it off and check the Advanced tab
