Yep, looks like that is indeed the cause. reventon should be posting shortly, hopefully he can find a new driver.
Here is a cheap PCI network card I recommend as a replacement: Newegg.com - AZiO AWD154a IEEE 802.11b/g PCI 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates 64/128-Bit WEP, WPA
There are plenty of Windows 7 drivers available for it.
Feel free to go more expensive if you wish, just make sure it's compatible with Windows 7.
Thank you very much. ill wait to see if theree are drivers or not. i think i might buy that network card.
Thank you :)
Ok.
Atheros is appalling at after-sale service, no official driver updates to be found anywhere.
However I did manage to find a 2009 driver for the same chipset family - from HP.
It is unconventional, to say the least, but if it does work then it will save you having to purchase a new one.

If that doesn't update it, or it stops it from working, then you would be best to buy a new adapter as Jonathan_King mentioned.
