Integrating the drivers for the Intel WiFi Link 4965AGN in the kernel.

Hello, I trying to build a custom kernel with only the needed things and I'm almost done; but if I try to include the drivers for that wireless card there is a message at boot time saying that the microcode could not be found.
If the driver is compiled as a module everything is fine, what could be causing this? Is there any way to include the drivers in the kernel and still have them working?
Thank you very much.

I have got the same Problem here without seperated /boot partition.
lspci | grep 4965
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
dmesg | grep 4965

The file iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode is still in /lib/firmware/
I tested with 2.6.34 and 2.6.35-rc1.

Is upgrading the Intel WiFi Link 5300 driver ourselves permitted?

I obtained my T400 in November, and notice that the driver for my Intel WiFi Link 5300 wireless adapter is version 12.1.0.14 from 8/28/08.
On the Intel Web site, I've noticed that the driver was upgraded to 12.1.2.1 on 11/24/08:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&Inst=Yes&ProductID=3062&DwnldID=17163&strOSs=...
Are we permitted to install the latest driver (including the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility for Windows Vista, or does this interfere with ThinkVantage Wireless Detection, etc.), or do we have to wait to see if Lenovo certifies this version?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I think I might have figured it out. There are two PCI Express Mini Card slots on the T400S (2801). The shorter slot is for WiFi/WiMax cards and the longer slot is for WAN cards. The longer 5300 cards on the market cannot be used in the longer slot. Windows recognizes the cards but Access Connections (or maybe the BIOS) does not allow it to operate. Can anyone verify this?
Yes, that seems to be the case. I don't have a T400s but I do have the long Intel Wifi Link 5300 card FRU 43Y6495 in my x200. The WWAN slot is the same size as the WLAN slot on my x200. However, as you have discovered, the WLAN slot and WWAN on the T400s are different sizes. A quick check of pgs. 71-74, sections 1050 and 1060 of the T400s Hardware Maintenance Manual indicates that a half-height wifi card must be used in the half-height WLAN slot and evidently you cannot use one of the long wifi cards by utilizing the WWAN slot. So for example the Intel wifi Link 5300 card FRU 43Y6495 cannot work in your T400 but the half-height version of the Intel Wifi Link 5300 card FRU 43Y6519 would work as noted in T400s System Service Parts here. You also have a few other wifi choices listed for your type "2801" T400s.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

I need serious help with this one.
It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
Windows 7 x64
Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

Intel Wifi Link 5100

Hi all. I'm considering ditching my laptop's Broadcom BCM4312 for an Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN. This is primarily because of it's native driver support, as the broadcom isn't giving me very good performance and it's range is quite random (using broadcom-wl driver.)
Anyone have any experience with the wifi link 5100, good or bad? Notebookreview has mixed reviews, mostly from windows users. Some say the card is horrible, some say it's great. The way I'm seeing it atm is that it can't be worse than my broadcom as far as drivers go.

I have an Intel 5100. I can't get it to play well with N-networks, to many dropped connections. Not sure if the Intel drivers suck or that the card sucks. However, it does work very well with G-networks.

Access Connections 5.02 and Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN

Has somebody else come across that the new Access Connections 5.02 is incompatible with the Intel's 5300 AGN Wlan card deployed in ThinkPad T400? I have verified that the right driver (newest => 12.00.4000) is installed for the card in Windows XP, newest Access Connections software (5.02), Power Management Driver (/ACPI => v1.50) and Hotkey (v2.08.2008) utility.
We use Microsoft's RIS to deploy Windows workstations with Windows XP SP3 and creating the image for our one and only T400 has been, to put mildly, tricky.
The problem is that Access Connections (triggered through Fn+F5) is not able to power off or power on the WLAN card. It is able to work with the Bluetooth radio, but not the WLAN.
Going through the README for Access Connections reveals T400 is one of the supported models, but Intel WiFi Link 5300 is not mentioned in the wireless adapter list. 5100 is, but not 5300. Now I'm not sure if the Lenovo's documentation is just not up-to-date, or what?
Has anyone else been affected by this? The laptop came pre-installed with Vista SP1, but I did not even bother to load it even once, since I always just start creating RIS image for new ThinkPad models.

The 5300 is definitely listed on some of the standard T400 configurations, and is also a selectable option on the CTO configurations, so there is no doubt that the 5300 should be a supported card for the T400.

It's your call what you do, but my advice is to always fire up the vendor installed environment for any new configuration that comes to hand and make sure that everything works as expected before blowing it away with some other SOE.
That establishes a baseline for what may or not be workable, which is an essential element for later troubleshooting in a custom OS load.

Using WRT610N w/ Intel WiFi Link 5100 wireless module

I am considering buying an FW or Z series Sony laptop which includes Intel WiFi Link 5100 as the wireless module, which is a dual range (2.4 & 5 GHz) 802.11 a/b/g/draft-n module. In order to benefit from wireless-n speeds as much as possible, I want to buy a good Wireless-N router. The one I am considering buying is Linksys WRT-610N. However, the thing is that I see on some forums that people have some problems with an older Linksys Wireless-N router used in conjunction with an older Intel wireless module. I am afraid I can have similar problem with the combination of the above mentioned router and wireless module. Moreover, I read a comment on somebody’s review of WRT610N on amazon.com that says that WRT610N is based on broadcom wireless chipset and thus may not give a good performance on PCs having an Atheros wireless module. If this is correct, it may go the same for using WRT610N with an Intel wireless chipset. Anyhow, my question is, have you been using a Linksys router with your PC that has an Intel wireless module and how do you find the performance (speed, range, frequency of drop-offs)? Comments from people using WRT610N (at least WRT600) along with a PC that has an Intel WiFi Link 5100 will be much more appreciated!

I think your in luck.. I have the exact combination that you are considering. I have a Sony FW190 with the intel 5100 a/g/draft-n card.
In my network I have the following:
1 Toshiba laptop 802.11abg (atheros)
1 Sony laptop 802.11abg (intel)
1 Sony FW190 802.11agn (Intel 5100)
I'm leveraging the dual radios on the wrt610n using 5Ghz band (wide) exclusively for the Sony FW190 the other laptops use the 2.4Ghz band.
On the Draft-N wifi connections I get connection speeds from 136Mbps to 300Mbps .. I've gotten donload speeds from my home server at a sustained 60Mbps+ speeds.
The configuration on both the laptop and the router took some understanding because of the features that 802.11n provides and the capability of the router to support dual radios. But overall I'm happy with the hardware and performance.
Good luck!

Hooked Photosmart 2575 wifi for laptop with windows 7. downloaded the drivers for it.

I am trying to" hook" my laptop to my printer via netgear., I have a desktop that is hard wired to it and I have the printer wired to the netgear as well. I have down loaded the drivers for the printer from the HP site. My laptop recognizes it (I think) but can't get anything to print. My old desktop is Windows XP and my laptop is Windows 7. Thanks for any help.

Is the desktop working with this printer?
Do you receive any error messages? If so, what are they?
Is there any third party firewalls installed?
Did the installation complete successfully?
Go to Devices and Printers int he Windows 7 system. Does the printer show as greyed out or solid color with a check mark?
Try using the print and scan doctor. Did it show any errors? If so, it should either correct them or provide more information about the issue. The web page for the tool lists how to use it and what it should do.

Home Network Router for T500 w/Intel WiFi Link 5300 (AGN)

I just purchased a new T500 notebook (Type 2242-34U) and am interested in setting up a home network. I have broadband cable hooked up to my Dell PC (Time Warner/Roadrunner). My T500 comes with Intel WiFi Link 5300 (AGN). Any advice and/or recommendations with regards to the model/type of router is greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

Get a Cisco/Linksys WRT-610N.
As Small Net Builder says.....
But if you're looking for a reasonably-priced dual-band, dual-radio draft 11n router, the 610N continues the 600N's tradition of being the only viable game in town.
- http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30530/96/
I'm using a Linksys WRT-600N (the previous model) with 4965AGN and 5300AGN cards in various ThinkPads and have been very satisfied with the 802.11n performance.

The ikon for connecting to wifi no the top is gone..? How to find it ?

Hi! The ikon for connecting to wifi at the top is gone and I wonder how to find it and activate it Afghanistan?

Hi andy,
I have the same ports as you on my Ti and my TV and the 4 pin S-Video cable works just fine.
I also have an S-Video to RCA adapter, and the S-Video end has 6 pins, so I'm thinking that the extra 2 pins have something to do with converting from S-Video to RCA.
I don't know if the UK has Radio Shack stores, but a quick call to an electronics store like that should yield a definitive answer to the extra 2 pins if you really want to know.
BTW how do I add a link to a message without showing the whole address.
That's called html language. Do a google and you'll come up with all kinds of fun things you can do with html.

Do the drivers for HP Universal Printing PCL 6 allow printing in color?

Recently I acquired a computer with a Windows 7 64-bit SP1 OS. Since the computer had no LPT1 Port, I connected my computer to my beloved HP Color LaserJet 4550 via USB using a mini-centronics adapter. I installed the Universal Printer PCL 6 in the "traditional" (not "dynamic") mode. Everything works fine, except for the fact that the Univeral Printer will not print in color. (I double-checked my 4550 to make sure the problem did not lie with this machine. I connected it back to its really old computer (Windows 2000 Professional OS), and the 4550 printed color documents with no problem.)
If the drivers for the Univeral Printer PCL 6 do allow for color printing, how do I turn that feature on? I have looked at the color management menu, supposing that therein lies the solution to my problem. But I am completely mystified and intimidated by this menu and have not the slightest idea what to do with it.
Someone please tell me there's a simple solution to my problem.
Thanks!
