Suggest going to device manager-network adaptors-Atheros9285 Wireless adaptor; double clicking, choose driver tab, update driver, search for drivers on this computer and pointing to the ndis6x folder. It does the job.

According to this, you should be using NDIS 6 for Win 7.

I'm looking at the device manager and I'm seeing the drivers for a telephone modem. Where is the modem on this system?

There's no modem. Do you have a bluetooth cell phone paired with your laptop? If so, you may be seeing the "modem over bluetooth" item.

Why don't you just try it and see for yourself! Its just a driver update you can always change it back if you don't like it.
