Recently upgraded my broadband to the 50mb superhub service.
After installation had a problem in hooking one particular laptop to the wireless network i.e the aspire acer one netbook.
After many fustrating hours i finally identified the problem (no thanks what so ever to the Virgin technical staff whose kop out soultion was to sign upto their chargable "pc support service"which costs a minimum of £60 !!)
It transpires that the (new) wireless security the superhub is not compatatible with the Atheros (AR500 7EG) wireless adaptor installed in the acer netbook.
In order to resolve the problem you need to load new up to date drivers which for some reason windows xp was unable to locate via the windows update drivers facility inthe contro lpanel ??
However after much searching found the drivers myself and down loaded from the following site "WWW.ATHEROS.CZ" and can confirm that the software was virus free and fixed the problem !!
Hope this post will be of use to others who experience this problem and save you many hours of heart ache ;)
