    Airlink AWLH4130 driver for x64?


    So I've got the AWLH4130, a pci wireless adapter, which I bought second hand for $5. Didn't come with any cds or anything. Works fine with the drivers on the website on XP. It "automatically" installs drivers in Windows 7, and installs the "Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P)" driver. It doesn't find any networks, and i'm guessing it's the wrong driver because the website said it was an Atheros chipset. I've got no clue what to do to get this to work, so anyone know what to do?

    The only driver I could find is for windows XP AirLink101 Help Desk You may be able to install this in compatibility mode. Compatibility Mode download the driver to your desktop. If the device is recognized in device manager click on it and click update driver>browse my computer>let me pick it> have disk> point it to the driver on your desktop and install. After following the compatibility mode tutorial

    OK, i tried that without compatability first, and it didn't work due to invalid driver sign or something. Then i restarted, pressed F8 at OS list, and chose Disable Driver Signing(whatever it was called). Reinstalled, and it works... mostly. It says no bars, but I have perfect connection, so meh.

    EDIT: I guess I don't have to press F8 every time. Thanks for the driver!

    But won't I have to press F8 every time I start Windows 7? Is there any way to fix this?

    Well I was rolling fine yesterday, but after Windows updated, my drivers stopped working because they suddenly started to complain about driver signatures. So I try to re-install the drivers, and Device Manager says they give Error 10 Cannot Start. Now i'm back where I started.

    Hi. I found this link, and it worked for me: Download Airlink101 Wireless USB Adapter Driver Driver - Software Patch.

    Hope that it also works for you. That website is quite a deal, you can download drivers for free without spyware and malwares.

    11.21.2020 Now I figure out how to fix mine

    I have the same card with same issue i needed a W7 Driver.
    I Found it here with this link to -
    Atheros Wireless Lan Driver- Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
    Atheros Wireless LAN Driver - Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Lenovo Support US
    How i figure it out was to install a harddrive with vista 64 bit
    And vista found the driver and was named "Atheros wireless network adapter"
    Then i plug back in my w7 harddrive and web search for the same name "Atheros wireless network adapter windows 7"
    It lead me to Lenovo support to the driver ,,i dl it and it was a auto install and issue was gone
