Caboose Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 When I download large files over my wireless, My computer crashes. It only seems to happen when I'm using the wireless, and not when I have ethernet plugged in. It seems to happen when the download rate goes too high. I left iTunes open for 12 hours playing internet radio over airport, and nothing happened. Then I started to download a largish file, and it crashed with the message saying that I need to restart my computer. I'm using a Atheros AR5BXB6 that I got from eBay. It's the same card used in the macbook. Again this happens every time I use a lot of bandwidth over airport, regular web browsing is unaffected. Attached is an image of the card, it even says Apple on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 *bump* Does anyone have any idea? Or at least a place I can find a log file that might tell me something. System.log says nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mujahid7ia Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 How does it work in Windows and/or Linux? Does it heat up before the crash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'm not actually sure. I only have OS X installed on my notebook... But googleing about led me to a few places that said people were having problems with the card in their macbooks, and that Apple replaced them. But I doubt Apple would replace this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
