Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter
Hello,
For the last two weeks my laptop has been having troubles with its network adapter (Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter).
Every time my computer starts up from sleep mode or just a normal start up my icon in the bottom right hand corner shows a black box with a plug in it and says no network connection available.
I then proceed by opening up the "Network and Sharing Center," clicking on the "Change Adapter Settings" button in the top left corner, right click on the "Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter" icon and selecting "Diagnose."
The diagnostic runs and asks me if I would like to turn on my wireless capabilities, I click the "Apply Fix" button and it turns on my Adapter.
Here's the Detection Details:

I'm not sure what the issue is... my power setting shows that my adapter is set to maximum performance on both plugged-in and battery settings, as well as the power management option showing that my computer is not allowed to turn off the adapter to save power... So I'm out of ideas and I can't find anything on google to help me out...
I appreciate any feedback on the issue
Eric.
