Abit AirSpace Wi-Fi on x64  

Hi, I have a problem with the mod Abit Airpace wifi card. It looks like it run well, but actually, when you download, the download speed is unstable and slow. Anything else is fine.
Can anyone have a solution?
I use windows 7 64bit

Hi and welcome to sevenforums

first things first. We need you to fill out your sytem specs (lower left corner of your post) so we know what kind of hardware you have

the driver for your wifi can be found here Universal abit > Motherboard, Digital Speakers, iDome, AirPace, Multimedia

Hope this helps

Hi Zigzag (or Ken),
I already try this driver and it won't work. I have to use the mod driver of Turgo ( page 2) to go to the internet, but the download speed is suck. I just thought that the driver work perfectly, so I decide to buy this abit airpace wifi card. But in the end, it works but not in good condition. I have to download stuffs I want into my laptop and then move it to my desktop. It's too complicated and too inconvenient.
By the way, I don't know how to view my info about my mainboard or how to go to the Bios. I try F11 , F6, F10, however, I can't go in the bios mode.
Anyway, thank you for reply so fast.

the 64 bit vista driver will work if you install it in compatibility mode. You can learn how here Compatibility Mode

hope this helps and let us know if you need more help

Very simple, this card is actually an atheros chipset card, simply uninstall any abit driver and install the driver for the card manually using Windows 7 default drivers under 'Network Adapters', pick either Atheros AR5006X or AR5006XS.

Thanks VERY much for this - I was wrestling with this problem for ages, but that works absolutely flawlessly. AND you can use the abit program with it too, if that's what floats your boat.

Please?

Things might have changed since the RC1 but take a peek at what i said below if your having problems (pci wifi b/g or something similar)

seems this driver no longer works in RC 1 however i found that the Atheros List has now grown larger and was pretty simple to work out being 1 driver called pci wifi b/g or something similar.... maybe i will get round to double checking the actual driver i used when i next log in to 7 RC1

Its a little bit of a pain rite now because Abit have not made any attempt to update there drivers since 2008 and unfortunately not all vista drivers work with 7 and sometimes cause more hassle than its worth
