    atheros ar5bwb222 support for windows 10

    I installed the win 8.1 drivers from Acer support site (Acer V3-551g-x419) Drivers installed for BlueTooth, nic and wireless. Nic and wireless still did not work. Uninstalled nic and wireless from device manager, scanned for changes and now both work
    fine. Hope this is helpful for others.

    I did all that, reset the NIC driver and there is no change.

    I tried that. I used UI to set metrics. My wifi card has set to 5 and Ethernet is 6. I did not see any difference.

    Have you tried just disabling the Ethernet adapter itself? I don't think there's any other way but hopefully other members can help.
