    Got the new XP Atheros driver (Ver. 7.4.2.105 / Date: 4/1/2008) from Windows Update yesterday. Works fine with the Gigabyte GN-WI01GT (AR5006EGS) in my Dell E1705 and the 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II (AR5004X) in my IBM Thinkpad R51.

    Yup. I use this instead of letting Windows run the card.
