East 17 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Ok .. I've used over 3 versions of the drivers .. all install ok but then the Device Manager displays that yellow exclamation point to signal there's a problem .I've installed another WLAN card also an that one works with no problem.How can I get the Atheros AR5B97 chip to work?I've formatted the OS partition and reinstalled Win2003SRV R2 SP2 2 times by now but nothing changed The card works flawlessly in WinXP SP3 installed on the same PC (dual boot) so there's a OS probleme here not a hardware one. And no ... I have NO other software installed. Just the OS and drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Have you tried updating the drivers? Code 10 can mean only a couple of things:- device is disabled in BIOS (its not)- device is malfunctioning (its not)- the driver is not correctFor example, if you were to force a NIC driver to install on an unsupported device, you can get a Code 10.

East 17 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 All the drivers I've installed said that they are compatible with WindowsXP or better. Now I have the latest version and I've also installed 3 other versions too with the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I wonder if the driver is generic, instead of specifically written for Server 2003 R2 aka Windows v5.2. Some driver makers take a shortcut and just make them for x86, amd64 or ia64 without specifying an OS version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
