Atheros 9285 not finding any Networks under windows 8

Hey there !

I'm going crazy here, I hope you can help !

For compatibility reasons (running macosX) I have switched my old adapter with an atheros 5B195 in my ACER V5-471.

In Mac Os it looks like it is working but cant find any networks to connect to.
In Windows 8, the OS says the adapter is there and working but unavailable. The wifi appears to be turned off, but there is no way to turn it back ON, either by hitting Fn+F3 or any other technique. I managed to get it ON once or twice with some drivers, but couldnt find any networks either, I turned it off and then couldnt turn it back ON.

The funny thing is that everything is working fine with a live CD of Ubuntu, so I know the adapter is working.

The bluetooth part works fine on the three systems.

The system messages for both Macosx and Windows show the adapter as being here and working fine.

Any suggestion ?

:)

THanks !
