It's the first time i use Atheros chip and the utility that comes with it.
I must admit that it's quite informative however I'm struggling to see where it has the security/encryption information for each of the scanned networks.
With intel proset or win xp software you just double click on the network name and the password field comes up.
With atheros utility i find that you have to to tell the software if the encryption is WAP, WEP etc...so if you don't know what kind of encryption the scanned network has it's a bit of trial and error...
Am i missing something obvious or the atheros utility has a drawback?
thanks

What operating system do you have? What wireless card do you have? What version of the utility do you have? Where did you get the software/drivers?
-
win xp
Atheros AR5007EG
utility version: 7.0.1.112
driver version: 7.6.0.239
got the software drivers from the official samsung website (Q210) -
What wifi card do you have (not the chipset)?
-
the wifi card is AR5007EG...
as far as i can tell the problem is with the software and not the chipset itself... -
No, I believe that is the Atheros chipset. I'm looking for the make and model of the wifi card (like the Intel 4965 or the D-Link DWA-643).
-
well...as far as i can see this is the model of the chipset which is the same as the intel chipset...it is not an external wireless card...
-
Why not just ditch the Atheros Client and use Windows built-in Wireless Zero Config.
-
Go to your laptop manufacturer's website and check your model - it should list the wifi card somewhere. -
If the Atheros software is giving you problems, you could use Windows connection manager instead. -
