AR5004 Chipset Highlights
The fourth generation AR5004G chipset supports 802.11b and 802.11g in the 2-GHz band from 2.300 to 2.500 GHz. The AR5004X adds support for 802.11a in the 5-GHz band from 4.900 to 5.850 GHz, thus enabling tri-mode or universal WLAN products. The AR5004X meets international requirements for WLAN operation based on the draft 802.11h and 802.11j standards. The only products to have CE marking for 5.470 GHz European operation and TELEC certification for 4.900/5.030 GHz Japan operation are based on Atheros chipsets. Both chipsets include support for emerging security standards such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and draft 802.11i Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with no performance reduction, and draft 802.11e Quality of Service enhancements. A single driver and firmware code base supports all Atheros chipsets, and provides both backward and forward compatibility with Atheros� previous and next-generation multi-standard designs.

It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
