Atheros Wireless Adapter won't connect to int

Hello from Danville, Virginia, USA

I have an Acer Aspire One A0A 150. The Wireless adapter will not connect to the internet, but it does find my wireless network and will connect to it. I have turned off power saving mode as per Acer tech support info. I have turned off all firewalls, and have verified the settings in Windows. I have released and renewed the IP address. I can ping out but get two returns then request timed out. This is consistent. 50% packet loss, two times out, two returns.

I can connect fine with an ethernet cable from my router, I can connect fine with a Belkin USB wireless adapter.
I can connect to the internet with the Belkin from any wireless site. I cannot connect with the built in Atheros adapter. i made sure the Atheros and Belkin adapters and drivers did not conflict. I downloaded and installed the latest Atheros wireless driver for my Acer Aspire one. Still can't connect to the internet.

Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks

Dear Sir,

Verify if the Wireless Connection is secured,

If yes, just enter the WEP key to the wireless settings

Thanks

I too had this issue as well (same laptop as you). I am not sure how i fixed my issue though. Steps I tried without success were to disable and re-enable adapter via kill switch and function keys, uninstall/reinstall driver, reinstall windows xp. None of those seemed to work.

Then i went digging through drivers and found that the driver my laptop originally used was not the same version being offered by acer (the one acer was pointing me to was a newer one). I found the old one floating around on the internet, did a uninstall of the driver and installed the new (old) one. I seem to be able to connect now which is nice, but i run into the disconnects every couple of minutes issue stated by others. still working on that issue but atleast I get connected... ::shrugs ::
