Possibly, install the XP driver, for the card, then upgrade the card to to the Win7 driver, before connecting to any network.

Beyond that, wifi chip change time. 

Looks like i found a driver that does the job for XP. I'll put it here for anyone else who's stuck at a dead end like me.

My netbook has the Atheros AR5B125 network card installed inside it, and in Windows 7 it works. However, in Windows XP, any driver i install ends up giving a IRLQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD upon connecting to a network, despite still being able to search for connections.
I've seen another user have success with this issue on the forums by installing a driver package meant for Win7, however the same driver that works under 7 for me causes a BSOD in XP, and such is the case with XP Drivers. Is there a way to get this card working properly under XP?
