I got this unit totally dead, and replaced a blown power diode and current
sense resistor, and got it up and running, but.....
After installing Windows 7 (originally it had Vista), the Atheros
AR5B91 wireless adaptor is seen by the device manager, and
shows it's "working properly", but it cannot see ANY wireless router,
while my other laptop sees both mine and 6 others.
I tried automatically updating everything in Windows 7, and tried
uninstalling the driver for the device (after which, it immediately
auto installs new driver), but it still doesn't see any networks.
I also checked the black and white antenna cable connections
in the back, and they were fine.
I also tried to get a second opinion with Knoppix 6, and for some
dumb reason, it would hang up during the boot-up.
With wired ethernet, it sees the internet perfectly fine.
Thanks for any advice in advance......
