athurx is the atheros wireless driver, i have 2 atheros adapters on the same computer, one is 300Mb\/s and the other is 150Mb\/s <\/p>\n
The reason for the blue screen is that the wireless interface driver(S) on my 64bit windows 7 (could be on any other platform too) is outdated, and it seems the old version of the driver has a problem in using 2 different atheros adapters on the same computer, the solution seems to lie in updating the drivers.<\/p>\n
1- The Wireless N 150Mb\/s (TP-LINK TL-WN722N, atheros AR9271 chip, should also apply to TL-WN721N that uses the same chip)
\nSo, my atheros based TP-LINK TL-WN722N uses the Qualcomm atheros AR9271 chip, Windows installs driver version 2.0.0.32 dated 1\/4\/2010, and since Qualcomm atheros does not provide their drivers directly on there website, i downloaded the driver from TP-LINK, the new driver had version 2.0.0.62 and was dated more than a year later 4\/20\/2011, the problem with this driver is that it is NOT SIGNED, and therefore you have to manually install the driver then agree to install a non signed driver, simply asking windows to update from a directory will not update your driver, also check the driver versions before you update to see if your drivers have been updated.<\/p>\n
2- The Wireless N 300Mb\/s (tp-link TL-WN821N, Atheros AR7015)
\nThis one also has an outdated driver that can be updated from the TP-LINK website, just like the one above.<\/p>\n
Make sure you unplug the other driver as you update the software for the first, and once both have drivers installed, reboot and plug in both adapters, works like a dream up to now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
