No problem joenos wink

Atheros AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter
DriverVer   = 03/03/2008,7.6.0.170

Re: Atheros AR928X Wireless Network Adapter

Joenos,
I made a new beta WLAN driverpack which includes a new Atheros driver version 10/07/2008,7.6.1.160. It's *.inf file contains your hardware ID:

so this pack should support your SONY VAIO notebook.

Joenos, I'll send you an email with the downloadlink to this beta version DP_WLAN_wnt5_x86-32_90401.7z, please report back if your device works with this pack.
