Atheros wireless network adapter

I have visited the official site and downloaded an update for my Atheros AR5005G but at the end it took me to a screen showing list of three files with the update showing in a box at the top. There were no prompts or instructions so I just closed the screen. How do I check if the update has actualy taken effect and if not what do I do.
Also when doing the update do I click Run or Save?

Regards Alex.

 

Hi,
I downloaded from http://www.atheros.cz/download.php?atheros=AR5005G&system=1
Having checked my Driver version no against the one at the site they don't match.
I have opened the zip file that was downloaded and there is a file called Setup Information but when opened there is a load of stuff but no prompts, options or instructions so I am stuck.
My P.C. is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L7320.
I am on Windows XP with Windows Internet explorer 8.
Sorry about the delay in replying but I keep losing connectivity.

Regards Alex

 

Since you said that no setup.exe file was included with the download, that leaves me to believe that you have just the 'raw' driver which must be installed via the device manager and hardware wizard. Follow the steps in this thread to install the drivers. If you have questions or problems, feel free to post! Good luck!

Sorry but I am not sure where to pick up on the instructions. Do I have to uninstall anything first? Do I need to download TUGzip ? If so where do I find it?
Sorry to be a pain but I am a complete novice.

Cheers Alex.

 

If you have the drivers downloaded and you can open the folder and see the files (there's probably a .INF file or two, a .SYS file or two, etc), then you do not need TUGzip, and you would start at Step 1 at the link I provided earlier. If the driver folder has a .ZIP (or .RAR) extension, then you will need to extract it with TUGzip before starting with Step 1.

You do not need to uninstall anything first.
