I had a couple of BSOD on win 7 x64, I ran the software WhoCrashed on the minidumps and it shows something like this:

Your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\032814-19921-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: tcpip.sys (tcpip+0x1A7C88) 
Bugcheck code: 0x1E (0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
Error: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: TCP/IP Driver
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode program generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. 
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time. 

I am using this wifi adapter (UGL2454-U2ZA), which I think it's causing the problem since it only happened when it's connected. Once crashed when I accidentally disconnected it from the usb and connected it back, other time while playing an online game, most of the times everything works fine tho.

First thing I though was I was using the 32b version of the driver, but no, I am using the 64b version I got from http://www.eusso.com/download/download_driver.htm I had to download the Win Vista version since they don't provide one for W7.

If I run ncpa.cpl and see the Wireless Network Connection, windows says its an "Atheros AR5007UG", I tried findind a W7 driver for that but couldn't find it either.

I am not sure what to do next, what should I do to continue troubleshooting this issue?

    I had to download the Win Vista version since they don't provide one for W7. Do you want to fix it right and fix it for good? If so, acquire an adapter that's supported on Windows 7.

  • I think that there are probably a zillion USB wireless adapters available for Windows 7 and if it was me I would purchase one of those.

  • Well I live in a really poor country and the price of an USB wireless adapter can feed a family for weeks, I wouldnt be asking for help if I could buy a new one buddy.

I did the same problem with Atheros AR5007UG USB wireless. Here the solution:

  1. Install latest drivers for Win7 64-bit http://www.digicom.it/comuni/driver/USBWave54/UsbWav54_Win.zip
  2. Disable TCP/IPv6 protocol in device properties.
  3. Disable WinpkFilter
  4. Configure the device setting:
    • 802.11b Preamble --> LONG ONLY
    • Scan Valid Interval --> 120

enjoy
