Atheros drivers

THANK YOU!

No, seriously, THANK YOU. I cannot begin to explain the annoyance it is to find these drivers if they're the culprit in a BSOD situation.
http://www.atheros.cz/ is the most confusing site ever to navigate, so helping a user solve their issues is always a headache. I have to mentally prepare myself whenever I see an Atheros culprit :thud:

Which by the way, what's with all of the issues with their drivers? I have seen a very large amount in my time of analyzing.
 
There are (at least) 7 layers of stuff in the networking "stack" - so it's not just the drivers.
Also, there's an increased amount of activity in apps that are "internet aware" - so they demand more of the drivers.
Then you try to cram it all over wifi (which is generally pretty slow) and you have people clicking their fingers off trying to speed up the apps - which (IMO) can cause further problems.

Finally, Atheros says that you can get the drivers from the OEM - but many of the OEM's don't update them on their website, so it's difficult to find them.
