And another benefit of this driver is that the wi-fi speed is enhanced. I copied a few big files (1080p movies) from the laptop to my desktop and everything is working as expected, without problems. Installed this driver over the existing one, restarted the system and from that moment I never saw the BSOD again.
UBUNTU ACER ASPIRE 5100 DRIVERS
But I looked onto Acer site in the Drivers section and downloaded the driver that they recommended (Wireless LAN_Intel_12.4.1.11_W7圆4W7x86_A). At that moment I started to think that probbably mu laptop has a hardware problem. I tried first to reinstall the OS, but again I've installed the latest driver from Microsoft and the issue was still reproducing. It comes with an Intel WiFi 5100 AGN card on board and the problem started after I upgraded to the driver that Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits was offering via Windows Update. I had the same issue with my Acer Aspire 5738G laptop. I'm sorry for the wrong information about involving Ubuntu. So there is juist a problem with that cnetwork controller while using Windows. 13 There is a new info: Ubuntu freezes without using WLAN too! I think this is an ordinary software bug 13 Here are some messages I got after reboots caused by BSOD: Installing the latest driver (13.0.0.107) I tried this to solve the problem without success:Ģ. Is there a trick I can use to get it work? It worked until the end of 2009. The crash-causing network is the only one that uses a proxy server. So I think there is something wrong with the WLAN controller.īut when I login to other networks the system works very well without problems! Many other people (about 300) can use that network without any problems. It freezes randomly when I use that specific WLAN and only a reboot helps me. I have a Ubuntu installed in another partition. I get the BSOD when I am using Windows7 Ultimate 64. I need to use that network up to five times a week for about 8 hours. It is used by an ACER Aspire 7738G.Įverytime I login to one specific WLAN I get a Bluescreen after a while (between 5 minutes and 5 hours). I've got a big problem with my INTEL WiFi Link 5100 AGN.
