Atheros Qualcomm wireless network driver problem
Hello everyone.
My notebook would not complete installation of Windows 10 due to athwbx.sys problem. BSOD.
This is a driver file found in Windows 8 for the Atheros Wireless Network hardware.
However I am updating from Windows 7 and this file is not part of the drivers required for this hardware in Windows 7. So I cannot install it.
However windows 10 expects to see it I believe. as it does a BSOD on login after upgrading to Windows 10 calling an exception due to Athwbx.sys and will just not allow me to log in. I can get to safe mode though.
I also managed to roll back to Win 7.
Question is how do I get around this. Atheros hardware is AR9002WB. I am using the latest Win7 driver possible for this hardware.
Any ideas?
Steve
