Title: Atheros AR928x wireless network adaptor for LL2.0 ?
Post by: m654321 on November 30, 2014, 04:22:42 AM
I have a 64bit Win 7 - LL2 dual boot set-up on my Asus X71Q laptop.

Within Win 7, downloading the Atheros AR928x wireless network adaptor increased my internet connection speed from 150 Mb/s to 300 Mb/s, which makes a significant difference when downloading larger files. However, on LL2.0, my connection speed is only 150 Mb/s. Is there an Ubuntu version of the AR928x adaptor, that I can download for LL2.0, that will hopefully boost my internet connection speed to around 300 Mb/s?  Many thanks for any help.

Kind regards
Mike
