Acer Aspire 3684 series is using Atheros AR5007EG

hi all,

Today i experience a new thing, well Acer Aspire 3683 is using Atheros AR5005EG Wireless LAN while newly launched Acer Aspire 3684 (with Camera) is using Atheros AR5007EG. And the worst part of the new device is the Driver Installation part. Installing the older Atheros is much easier than installing this new Atheros AR5007EG. When I install the Atheros driver, it often hang when it reached 75% of installation. Although I try to reinstall for about 3 or 4 times, it keep on hang. So I decided to try it on Safe Mode. I copied the driver to hard disk and installed it on Safe Mode. Finally it worked well. If you guys also come across this Atheros AR5007EG, go on to install the Driver in Safe Mode. The other drivers works very well in Windows normal mode.
