Compaq laptop wireless driver

Hi. I sure hope someone can help me. I have a compaq laptop running vista which i have reformatted and reinstalled vista successfully.
i thought i was using the install disc that came with the laptop but it appears that I have used a Dell disc!! so now i dont have any drivers at all, and the wireless function is not working, and if i plug the laptop in manually, I still cannot get online.
What should I do?
thanks

If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select it there. To the right, its Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs ot the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This is the switch to enable automatic syncing. If your iTunes music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then select what you want on the iPod from the lists below.
Click Apply to intiate automatic syncing between that iTunes library and your iPod (based on how the iPod's Music screen is set up in iTunes).

ThinkPad W530 Wireless Driver Not Available for Download

I have a ThinkPad W530 laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Machine type and model = 2438-4CU
When I go to the driver list on Lenovo's website and click on it to download...it's unavailable...you can't download it. The release date shows 3/28/13

I have also installed Lenovo's System Update and it doesn't list the wireless driver as a download option either. I have installed all the other drivers found by the System Update tool.
Am I doing something wrong or is there an issue with this particular driver download.
Thanks for your help...

Help!

Your report shows no TPM or problem with TPM.
The TPM is located on the mainboard and is also used to
verify hardware in the system. Thus your DVD drive and wireless
not showing up.
The TPM is TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE.
Regardless, it is not replaceable, part of the mainboard.
Unfortunatly, sounds like there is no real fix.
Sometimes a bad CPU fan will cause this warning, bad TPM, to be displayed.

Satellite L505-S5966 - problem with wireless driver after switching to windows 7

Hi,
I got this laptop in July operating under Vista. I had some problems then with getting my wireless driver to boot properly so it would pick up wireless networks and connect. This seemed like a common problem and I was able to find the solution here and fix it. I switched over to Windows 7 this month, and since then my wireless driver has stopped working again. I guess the driver doesn't boot - it won't pick up wireless, and sometimes when I look it seems like the wireless driver doesn't even exist.
Can anyone offer me a solution? I'm getting very frustrated.
Thanks,
J

I have the same problem. Moved the printer from XP to W7 and the colors are not accurate. It was a great printer under XP. Did you every get any response? What did you end up doing?

Building Wireless Driver

I wasn't sure exactly where to put this, but I decided since it has to do with idiotic wireless laptop hardware it fit in this forum.
My problem is, I have an ultrabook, the Lenovo Yoga 13. It ships with the Realtek RTL8723au. Most distros I've done fine with, since I have the driver on an external hard drive that I can build pre-installation if needed, or even post-installation. I really want to use Arch, but it turns out that not only do you have to be connected to the Internet to install the system, it doesn't even ship with the 'make' system: to be able to use 'make', I'd have to install it from the package manager. There's just one tiny problem with that. I can't get the package without the driver, and I can't install the driver without the package.
And as brilliantly as these ultrabooks are designed, they don't come with a built-in ethernet port. I could get one by USB, but I'd prefer to work with the base system as much as possible. Besides, I wouldn't mind the experience if I could get it to work, which was the reason I decided to pick up Arch in the first place.
My question is, is there a way I can build my wireless driver without condoning the use of third-party hardware?

I'll c/p what I saw when I was going through it.

Unable to connect on laptop wirelessly

I can't connect to the internet on my laptop but I'm able to when I don't turn on any wireless security. When I set as WPA/WPA2 security then I can't connect to my network on my laptop wirelessly. I'm using a WRT160n v3 linksys router.
Message Edited by klyy on 01-02-2010 04:01 PM

If you are using Win XP, you will need SP3 to run WPA2 ( = WPA with AES). Vista already runs WPA2.
Next, in the router, give your network a new unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". Do not use your old SSID. If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Next, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Delete any network with your old SSID. Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Then enter your new network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. Your computer should connect automatically to your router (it can take up to 2 minutes). If you still have trouble, temporarily turn off your computer software firewall and try again to connect.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your computer's wireless adapter.
Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching to WPA encryption.
Note:
For WEP, enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into your computer, not the WEP password or passphrase.
For WPA or WPA2, enter the key (sometimes called password or passphrase) into your computer.

[SOLVED AGAIN] Wireless Driver for Broadcom BCM4312 (14e4:4315)?

Hello,
I've recently switched to Arch after having Ubuntu installed on my laptop for a year. I'm also been an on/off Debian (and Debian-based) user on my main Desktop for the past two years or so. So it comes to no surprise that it's taking me a lot to get used to a brand-new packaging system, much less having to essentially build it from the ground up. But I'm always up for the challenge.
I switched from Ubuntu (Kubuntu, specifically) because of the problems it's recently been having in regard to speed and performance. Not to mention the constant freezing every hour. My Arch install when along smoothly. I've been running off of a wired connection, but I really need to get my wireless set up. This is my first roadblock.
In Ubuntu, it was a 'just-worked' kinda think hen it came to my wireless. The only problem that I've ever had with it during the Ubuntu times was when I first installed Ubuntu: they had not yet added in the Broadcom drivers (or, at least, not a compatible one). And so I had to do a bit of research to get it to work. Since then, I've lost track of the Linux development on my particular card.
But now it doesn't work, and I can't find a way to get it to work. I've looked at various wiki's and forum posts, but I can't seem to find one that's up-to-date.
Any help?
Last edited by XtrmGmr99 (2009-04-16 05:55:43)

Today's the first day I've been able to actually test the installation to see if it actually worked. Sadly, it doesn't seem to have. I've followed the instructiong on the Broadcom 4312 wiki page, and then moved on to the wireless wiki page to set it up.
Running iwconfig, I can see that the driver enable wireless:
$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 IEEE 802.11 Nickname:""
Access Point: Not-Associated
Link Quality:5 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 invalid crypt:0 invalid misc:0
eth1 no wireless extensions.
However, running iwlist scan gives an error:
$ iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning.
The wiki says that this is likely to be because I haven't installed the firmware? I've added the wl module to /etc/rc.conf, but I haven't changed any other configuration options. For example, I haven't really touched the networking section of the file, except to change eth0 to eth1 (installed the wireless driver switched the interface). Do I need to add eth0 (wireless) to this section? Or do I have to configure network profiles? I'm really new to all these new configuration options, so I don't really know where to start.
Here the networking setion of /etc/rc.conf:
# NETWORKING
# HOSTNAME: Hostname of machine. Should also be put in /etc/hosts
HOSTNAME="ryan-laptop"
# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available interfaces.
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
# - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
# - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
# DHCP: Set your interface to "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
# Wireless: See network profiles below
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth1)
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
# - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
# - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network.d
# This now requires the netcfg package
#NETWORKS=(main)
I haven't touched any other files...
I'll continue looking through the wiki.
Also, I haven't tried KDE4's network manager to see if it has problems yet. I was hoping to take the installation one step at a time and get everything working the way I want it to on the console side before moving to and tweaking the graphical side.

Need Advice on a Laptop Wireless Card For Arch

I have Arch running on my desktop and I'm loving it. I'm thinking about putting it on my laptop too. The problem there is that my laptop has a Broadcom wireless card that the Linux kernel doesn't recognize by default. The last time I tried to use Arch on my laptop, I had to reinstall the wireless driver every time the kernel was updated.
Is there a internal wireless mini card I can buy and put in my laptop that Arch/Linux will be able to use without compiling anything? I'll buy whatever is needed to replace my Broadcom card and make my Linux experience better if you have any recommendations.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Wifi-108Mbps-super- … 27a987d09d
( Wifi 108Mbps super g Wireless PC Card CardBus Atheros
Model Number: WLG-1103)
I bought one of these about 2 months ago and it works great on my two laptops. Dirt cheap (~10 bucks, no shipping) and no fidgeting involved. Just put it in the card bus thingo, turn on the laptop, it's all good. I think the drivers are in the kernel, as I don't recall installing any driver packages on either laptop at install-time, but I definitely didn't have to do anything manually. Atheros tends to work nicely in linux in my experience, and this is no exception.
