Recently, I've rebooted my old Hp G60 Notebook using Recovery Manager (Windows Vista 32 bit). Everything was working right before until now.
When I try to connect to any network it displays "Connnection takes longer than usual" and I never gets connected.
My network adapters are Realtek RTL8102E running driver version 6.202.125.2008 and Atheros AR5007 running driver version 7.3.201.25.
I unistalled drivers, reinstalled them and still doesnt work. Please Help.

Hi:

 

Try updating the driver for your Atheros WLAN card.

 

This is the newest one for your card.

I have had a similar issue with my HP G50-122CA notebook.  There was no wireless connection and a problem with the Atheros AR 5007 wireless adapter.  I did almost everything to get the adapter to work without success. I had other problems that had developed over the 6 years I owned the notebook.  In addition to the above problem when I put my notebook to sleep or in hibernation it would start up after a few hours by itself.  Another problem was hard drive clicking.  Then there was the pesky "exception EAcessViolation in module ltr.exe" which I couldn't rid off.  The "exception EAcessViolation in module ltr.exe" came from uninstalling a freeware software. 

 

My last resort to solve these problems I did a factory restore.  Amazingly, it solved all of my problems.  Very important to note that when doing a factory restore all data will be lost and make sure the valuable data is saved to be reinstalled later.

 

To do a factory restore, while computer is rebooting hit F11, a Windows submenu will pop up after a few seconds and prompt you to check boxes to initate the factory restore.  The submenu may vary depending on your HP computer model.

 

The problem appears to a software corruption and not the hardware.

 

Hope this helps.
