    Has anyone found any Atheros 802.11n drivers for WinXP that work in Parallels at "n" speeds? Is this a Parallels' driver problem or a WinXP drivers problem? I know that there is an Atheros AR5008X driver that support 802.11n speeds on Windows computers but I don't think it works at all on a Mac. I'm just trying to see if I can get some faster transfer speeds in WinXP. I'm using 10.4.9, WinXP Pro and a MacBook Pro C2D.

    Um since WinXP under Parallels is not accessing the wireless hardware directly, drivers for XP are useless for that. XP sees the network you're using through the Parallels "virtual network" device. So as long as your Mac is at "n" speeds, XP should be as well.

    Yeh, akac, you're right. My mistake. I really need Atheros 'n' drivers for BootCamp WinXP.

    Last I checked, you could boot the drivers into BootCamp and get the 802.11n speeds....

    Google is your friend.
