z0ne_tripper, the device with this ID is supported by the new beta Driverpack WLAN, I'll send you an email with the downloadlink. Please test and report back here.
But there is only the "normal" driver, do you really mean driver "For Monitor Mode" as your topic suggests? If yes, I'm afraid it won't work for you and I do not have an idea where to get a Atheros driver that supports monitor mode.

Re: Atheros AR5007EG Windows Driver Needed For Monitor Mode

thank you for the link, and yes i mean monitor mode, I already have the original driver for this card, will the one in the link you sent me be a better option?

Re: Atheros AR5007EG Windows Driver Needed For Monitor Mode

I think this is one of those scenarios i mentioned to you Jse

where the Setup.exe must be run to install a custom control panel.

this is acomplished with the packs INI file...
calling setup.exe by useing a trigger
like a HWID, or a particular file that is installed if the hardware exists
look at the Graphics Packs for examples
you can ask me questions in the team forum if you have any wink

That's a good question since you didn't tell which version you use. I have included version 7.6.1.160 date 10/07/2008 MM/DD/JJJJ in directory D\W\AtT.

From the viewpoint of the installation one driver is better than another one if
- it has valid signature (and the other has not),
- if the hardware ID matches completely (PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_001C&SUBSYS_E008105B is better than PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_001C),
- if the version number is newer (see line "DriverVer   = 10/07/2008,7.6.1.160" in the *.inf file of the driver or the "driver" tab in device manager if the driver is installed).

From the viewpoint of driverpack maintainer the better driver
- supports more (best: all) hardware ids of one chipset,
- is administered by the chipset vendor,
- it will be updated if needed,
- has a revision history / changelog.

From the viewpoint of usage one driver is better that has
- more functionality,
- less errors,
- better performance,
- runs more stable.

In most cases newer driver versions are better than older.

z0ne_tripper, I think I found what you are looking for. Please see here and follow the link "Support & Downloads" and find "Version 7.6.1.86    Version with Client Utility and WlanMon". This archive contains among drivers (version 7.6.1.86) which are not signed a subdirectory WlanMon.
As you can see there are no special drivers for monitor mode but rather an application that activates this mode. See the enclosed *.doc file for more information. Of course the dirvers installed must support that funktionality, but I think all Atheros drivers newer than this version should do so.
I do not have access to a notebook with the Atheros chipset, so I can not test it at the moment.
Please test and report back if it did work for you.

OverFlow, in this case the WlanMon is an applications with it's own setup procedure that is more or less independent from the driver itself. Only a very little percentage of users will need this application so I would argue for not to install this application with DP procedures. Instead the few users  who need this application should install it on theire own.

Re: Atheros AR5007EG Windows Driver Needed For Monitor Mode

@Jse
Good answer... and the one I might have given myself.
- we don't want to add size to the DriverPacks without good reason.

The WlanMon can / would make an excellent 3rd party DriverPack though... big_smile

WlanMon is an applications with it's own setup procedure that is more or less independent from the driver itself.

The point I fell short of making was: (LOL)
This is a perfect example of what the finisher and pack.ini combo is designed for wink tongue


@z0ne_tripper

You may create your own 3rd party DriverPack if you like.
There is help in the 'docs' folder of your DriverPacks folder,
and more help stickied in the 3rd party DriverPack Forum here,

If you need help with your WLAN_Addon_Software_Pack, wink Please just ask!

Welcome to DriverPacks

and to quote our good friend Jaak

"Help us to help you!"

Please report back.
Always include good details
(Like BASE and DriverPacks versions used)

Have a great day
