ar5211.sys problem

Mboose

I encounter this problem sometimes when I start my laptop up. I'm pretty sure it's caused by the D-Link DWL-G650 wireless card I use. I have already uninstalled the drivers and re-installed them from the CD that came with it several times. Mainly what happens is that I get a blue screen that always has the ar5211.sys as the problem. I would appreciate any advice as the blue screen happens kinda often.

Thanks in advance :smiles:

I found this on another site about your same problem

almost daily BSOD with an error referring to the ar5211.sys. Countless calls to tech support.....
, but he had the feeling it was some incompatibility problem because he actually bothered to look at and think about the error message (unlike even the level 2 techs....
He spent hours researching and working on the problem until we finally discovered that.... has neglected to install the wireless software for the Atheros client ...
check your program files to see if the Atheros client software program has been installed. If not- you can download it from here: http://support.fujitsupc.com/CS/Portal/supportsearch.do It is the WLAN - Atheros file. You'll just need to reconfigure your wireless network connection to re-establish connectivity after installing the file.
After downloading the file:
Uninstall the drivers through device manager, restart the computer and then install the software that you downloaded from the Fujitsu site. Also- in the Start menu- the software puts in a Fujitsu icon called "click me"- very obvious- looks like a red infinity symbol with the words click me- click on it to fully install everything. Then reboot.
A message will come up that Windows is not acting as your network connection- is this ok- select don't show this message again at start-up, and click ok. Reboot the computer again.
The start-up menu should now have the Atheros client icon, and 3 wireless connection icons- two should be red-x'd and one not x'd. ALL SET-UP TO FIND A WIRELESS CONNECTION SHOLD BE DONE THROUGH THE ATHEROS CLIENT (there is a little icon for it in the start-up menu- do NOT use the Windows network set-up).

Thanks for the link. I'm trying to download the software but I don't see anything to download from that link.. perhaps I'm missing it?

did you plug in the model info for your device?

I tried but I'm using a Dell Latitude D600 laptop and it didn't seem to be any of the choices.
