BSOD with my NIC
I have a D-link WDA-2320 wireless nic. Atheros chipset is AR5212. I keep getting a BSOD with this stupid thing. I have changed PCI slots and that allowed me to finally load windows xp. I used the default drivers that came with the device (a3b.sys). I tended to get the BSOD when donwloading larger files, but occasionally at random too. I then found a thread on the forums here:
https://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-39651-Getting-Atheros-AR5212-Wireless-Cards-to-Work-with-Windows-XP.html
I installed the airlink driver that everyone on that thread said worked. I thought it worked for me too. However, i still get the BSOD!! It doesn't occur as often as before, but it still happens. It's still random too. Now the BSOD tells me I have an issue with N3b.sys (which is the airlink driver). I know it's my NIC that is causing this, and it seems like atheros chipsets are in most wireless nic's. I heard a rumor about atheros and xp not getting along. Anyone know of a driver that will work with my nic and xp?
