I'm trying to connect my 64bit packard bell ixtreme to my wifi but, although the connection is visible, I keep getting an error message saying that there was a problem connecting. I can connect via LAN cable.
The wifi is not the issue as I can connect other devices to it.
The driver is Atheros AR5006GS wireless network adapter, which I have uninstalled and then reinstalled by scanning for hardware changes. It is fully up to date.
I haven't used the wifi in a while (if ever!), and I don't know what changes I may have made to it since it was working (if it ever was).
Network discovery is on, the wireless network connection is enabled and there are no other wireless networks saved that could be conflicting with it.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do?
Thanks.
