Modding Qualcomm Atheros 10.0.0.336 WiFi drivers for Vista

Unread post by K4sum1 »

To get the Qualcomm Atheros 10.0.0.336 WiFi drivers working, follow the below steps.

1: Get the 10.0.0.336 WiFi drivers

2: Extract the driver

3: The INF has NT 6.0 and 6.1 sections, the 6.0 section is mostly complete, but if your WiFi card has one of these below IDs, you can mod the inf by replacing 6.1 with 6.0 or fake 6.1 globally with osver.ini.

4: Open athrx.sys (or athr.sys for 32 bit) with CFF Explorer.

5: Under import directory, click ntoskrnl.exe, find wcscpy_s and remove the _s

6: Go to NDIS.sys, find NdisSetCoalescableTimerObject and replace it with NdisSetTimerObject

7: Go to Rebuilder, untick Rebuild PE Header, tick Update Checksum, click Rebuild, and then save.

8: Install the driver using device manager. The driver is unsigned so you'll either need to sign it, use unsigned/test mode, or use the extended kernel which loads unsigned drivers by default.
