    I uninstalled the Atheros driver. And it just said that the card is not inserted, so i'm guessing it was a useless install, since the .inf file says "INF file for installing Atheros AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter". I'm pretty sure it's a useless driver for my laptop.

    I couldn't find the Realtek RTL8187S Wireless LAN PCIE Network Adapter driver in the Control Panel>Uninstall Programs.

    Help?

    You have to open Device Manger and find it there to uninstall it.

    You have to un-install it and then look for the driver from manufacture's website

    I saw that when i Googled RTL8187Se (It's written on Device Manager>Wireless LAN Driver>Driver Details)
    There's a download link at the bottom. Is this driver good? :P Thank you!

    I installed the driver in the link that i showed you. But it didn't work. I now have a busted wifi driver, and i had to resort to a direct connection to our router. Any suggestions?

    Use system restore go return to the point that you did not have that problem.

    Done. Thanks. Now, i have my old driver back. Hmmm.. Well, that driver that i downloaded didn't work. And i searched Google for "RTL8187" but it didn't give promising sites. I searched realtek for RTL8187, there was no result.

    Only RTL8187S had results. :-/

    To those who're still helping, Thank you so much! :)
