The atheros5000.device wireless network driver has been updated to support some additional Atheros chipsets.

It now supports 802.11n-capable devices based on the following chips (but only at 802.11g speeds): AR5416, AR5418, AR9160, AR9280, AR9281 and AR9285.

It also now supports additional radio chips that may be used in some non-802.11n-capable devices: AR2316 and AR2317. This may allow additional AR5212-based devices to work.

A 32-bit beta of the new version is attached below. A bugfixed version of WirelessManager is also included. Feedback is very welcome as I have only been able to test AR9285 support so far.

That's fantastic news! Thank you for your excellent work. Just a question, does this driver work on AROS 64bit or is it just for 32bit version?

Trank you, great work!

- Samsung R730 Alteros AR9285 Wireless Adapter it works well now (It didn't work with the old device before.)
- Netbook ACER Aspire One ZG5, Foxconn Atheros XB63 (Atheros Ar 5006 Eg802.11 B/g) works well now

Thanks. There will be a 64-bit version once it's out of beta (should be a week or two at most).

64-bit version attached (it took a bit longer than expected!). Please also install the WirelessManager version included in the archive.

New version with a small stability fix.

Thank you, installed on the next version of AROS One 64Bit

Neil, I hit peaks of 8 Mbps in download

My average download speed from the Internet with this driver is about 4 Mbps.

Yes, I was downloading from Aminet and it gave me that value

unfortunately it was a moment that lasted little

I touched the threshold of 10 mbps on a Google Drive link but then it went back to 400 kbps
