I personally have never had any sort of problems with Atheros products, since the very first AR5000 Series hardware many years ago (2004), and that's not the first time I hear people are going rough on Atheros, while praising Intel for. They had a page dedicated to drivers (before that deal with Qualcomm, now it's back, but only contains Ethernet NIC software).

This is extremely annoying - what should I do?System specs:ASUS A55V series, Intel Core i5 3210M (2.5GHz, quad core), 8.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GT 630M 2GBEDIT: The OS is Windows 7 Home PremiumAnd the network adapter is an Atheros AR9485WB-EGSo help would be great. I then resorted to Windows' Network troubleshooting utility, and found out the adapter keeps turning off.So every time I turn the thing off, restart, or it sleeps, the wireless adapter turns off.

Did that, and nothing.So I then did a quick internet search, and found a setting to prevent software turning the wireless adapter off.
