Wifi not working after bios upgrade. [SOLVED]

Hi All,
I have just upgraded my bios to correct a freq scaling issue and have noticed that WiFi is no longer working.
In dmesg I notice:
p54pci 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
p54pci: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -110
Looks like something to do with IRQ allocation for that PCI slot, does anyone know how to fix this?
I have scoured my motherboard manual, but see nothing about IRQ allocation to PCI slots  ... and I am not even certain this is the problem.
All I know is, that my prism54 card in that slot worked fine before the BIOS update.
Thanks,
B

Hi, I found the issue.
When I did the BIOS update, I did a reboot to try out new settings etc ... this however was not good enough.
On googling around on the error, I found that the solution is to shutdown the box completely .. wait for the caps to discharge, then restart the box.
The card then started to work fine.
I guess the problem is one I have found at times with cards that require firmware, It is only when you do a complete powerdown like this, that the card resets correctly and
re-loads it's firmware .... I have had this issue show up in different ways on other cards (i.e DVB cards not loading there firmware).
I guess in this case the card retained some settings from the old BIOS which was not compatible with the new BIOS.
Marking as solved.

  • Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

    Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone.

    @ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
    @ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!) 
    @ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack.  i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot. 
    Thanks fo rall yor help!

  • TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after Windows7 upgrade from HP specific to S/N, etc on laptop.

    My TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after I upgraded to Windows 7. I cannot find any support or drivers, etc. to fix.  I bought Windows 7 directly from HP specific to my P/N and S/N on my TX2500Z.  Any help? Thanks.

    after 2,5 days (spending half a day within the apple shop as well with this problem) i have it all back on track.
    i did a lot of different things: trying to remove and reinstall iPhoto; did a SL installation over the old SL I had on my HD; backing up all the data of course before and reformatting my HD and installing a new clean SL version on it + a new clean version of iLife9 with all the updates and than I migrate with migrate assistant all the data and setting with time machine back onto it, but all this didn't work, because it also migrated the error/bug through time machine with it.
    so at the end i just installed a brand new, clean SL version on my hard drive, than I did the updates and put all my data, photos, docs, movies, mail, bookmarks, music, etc manual back into the system (drag and drop from my external HD, where i had an exact copy of my internal HD) and did all the settings again in all the different programs.
    the only thing i used migrant assistant with time machine for was for the programs. it seems to work now all fine and i even got more free space on my HD, because some of the old stuff i always carried with me but i never used, i didn't take over.
    basically everything is clean now. At least i hope and works fine. touch wood!

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

    Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

    Hey there sarunelis,
    It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

  • Help Please - X200 will not boot after Bios Upgrade - keeps asking for power on password

    Hi there,
    I am new to this forum and please let me say a big Thank You for your help in advance.
    I am using a lenovo thinkpad x200 running windows vista with service pack 1. 
    The laptop has always been running fine and has never given me any issues. Unfortunately, all this came to an end yesterday when I ran the system assistant which did a round of updates and it prompted me to reflash my bios. 
    I did what was instructed and closed all open applications and after the laptop restarted, there was a noise from the harddisk (the sound was basically like what happens if the harddisk suddenly loses power). Then, all i got was a black screen, no harddisk acitvity with only the power cable LED and another LED (with the shape of a N tiled at 20 degrees) on. 
    I searched the forum and did what was suggested in this entry: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Blank-screen-after-Bios-Upgrade-on-X200/ta-p/29... 
    This is what I did so far"
    I turned off the power, took out the backup battery and waited for about 30 minutes (repeated this step several times, also removing the harddisk) but to no avail.
    I removed the RAM and tried booting and there was that characteristic beeping sound. 
    I replaced the RAM, redid the CMOS clearing, and now there is the Lenovo startup screen. However, there would be an error code 0271 (no date time) and 0251 (something about default configuration). Then, these disappear and all I am left with is the Bios Power On password prompt. Somehow no matter what I type nothing can be input into the field (and I did not create any password as far as I can remember).
    I redid the clearing for the power on password by removing the backup battery as suggested at the bottom of this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-59377   but it is no use. Each time I restart, even if I press the blue Think Vantage button or F1 or F11, I still get the same 0271 and 0251 error messages and am left with the power on password prompt. 
    I am really desperate as I really like my lenovo x200 and there is important data on the laptop. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this. Its amazing how a simple update can turn into such a disaster. Now i know i should never upgrade or update my Bios (or at least proceed with extreme caution).
    Anyone can provide some help to get my laptop workin again?
    Thank you very much,
    Mark

  • WiFi Not Working After Restore

    The WiFi Is Not Working After I Restored My 1st Gen. iPod Touch
    *PLEASE HELP!*

    luvlabs,
    Thanks for attempting to assist in this. Unfortunately the networks around me are not even being seen by my ipod touch. I of course, to answer the dumb question you asked macpolymer, have my wifi settings turned to on. I will attempt the restore/reset again, but I have done that about 3 or 4 times now, can't recall exactly, with exactly the same result.
    I need to have this resolved, otherwise I am stuck, as I have lost my receipt for Best Buy.

  • Forms Personalization not working after R12 upgrade

    Hi,
    We have recently upgraded to R12. We have forms personalizations on the People, Enter and Maintain form and this is not working now after the R12 upgrade.
    I went to one of the form personalizations and Validated and Applied again but it still did not work. I also created a new one but had no success with that either.
    Any ideas how to get this working again ? Is there something extra that needs to be done for R12?
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Shalantha

    Pl indicate which version of R12 and on what form you had the personalization in the previous version. Have you checked FND_FORM_CUSTOM_% tables to ensure that the personalization survived the upgrade ?

  • HT1338 motion 4 will not work after yosemite upgrade

    motion 4 will not work after yosemite upgrade

    To be honest I do not use motion or any other compositing app so i do not miss it personally. However the new Motion is not that expensive, around $60 i think. Still, I understand your frustration.
    I am afraid the more the OS is updated the less compatible certain applications will become.
    Good Luck
