Atheros drivers?
I'm trying to find Atheros for pocket pc or win ce. Despite hours of googling, I've not found any, though I have found references that they do exist.

I figure I'll get flamed for a stupid question, but at least throw me a link out of pity.

Nothing to do with MiniStumbler. Moved to hardware.

Contact your card manufacturer.
If your atheros based card manufacturer doesn't supply drivers for your hardware platform, you are SOL.

Atheros doesn't supply generic drivers to the end-user. They only supply to the companies that develop devices based on their chipset. It's the device manufacturers responsibility to supply drivers to the end-user.

For generic windows drivers for Atheros cards, check out www.wildpackets.com. They have always been pretty reliable for me

Pretty stupid advice.

A) The OP was looking for drivers for another platform.
B) The drivers at Wildpackets.com aren't generic Atheros drivers. They are customized proprietary drivers for usage with WildPacket's products, such as AeroPeek and OmniPeek. They don't support SuperG or SuperAG, nor the usage of the Atheros clientmanager. They don't even come with the generic Atheros clientmanager, so if you are using anything other than XP, you can't use them to connect to a specific SSID. And WildPackets also states in the documentation included with the drivers, that one should use the OEM (meaning the cardmanufacturer supplied driver and clientmanager) for standard usage.

Next time read the thread, the whole thread, and every gooddamn post in the thread, before trying to advice people.

Sorry I thought that it might work with win ce.

I assumed that Win CE might have a wireless client manager similar to Windows XP and that at this stage he wansn't terribly concerned with SuperG or SuperAG

Its good that you informed the OP that my advice was not the best, but I was only trying to help.
