    I am looking for a site to download atheros ar5b125 drivers without having to download company's spamware scanner product. I searched google and all I can find is companys wanting to install their scanner product.

    AR5B125 is the AR9485, which as far as I've seen isn't a very common chipset as it's pretty new. I've seen them mostly on Ultrabooks because it's an integrated single-chip solution...

    I know this looks dodgy, but it's not. This INF will work, but you'll have to manually install it...

    Thank you but clicking the download links forwards me to a place wanting to install some third party download manager again.

    Link works fine for me with firefox, no redirect or download manager. Maybe time to scan your pc for malware/hijack?

    You must click on the small download button near the bottom of the page, then wait a little and the download will pop up. There are a few ads on that site that will redirect you to download manager websites.
