Wireless card problems

genehack · December 22, 2016

So I have an Asus K53SV laptop which came with a 2.4GHz band only wifi card. I decided to upgrade and salvaged an Intel Centrino Advanced N 6205 from a broken laptop.

It didn't work on windows. The driver couldn't start (error code 10). But the thing is when I booted on Linux Mint it worked just fine! I completely reinstalled windows and tried installing the driver before installing anything else but no luck!

Please help

You are now 100% sure this is a driver related issue, what is the model of the wireless card you plugged into the Asus K53SV ? I assume you went on their website for drivers ?
