Configure wireless for Lenovo X60 on Fedora 8, anyone?

Has anyone had any luck getting the built-in wireless card to work for lenovo x60 on Fedora?
Any tip is appreciated.
-tito

Hi,
thanks for the quick reply.
there is a wireless router at my house where it communicates with my PC via the wireless connection. so yes, the wireless capability of my router works.
I have no idea which card is built-in but the Lenovo X60 is of type 1706 and 85U mode. How can you find out for sure from a command or if that is even possible?
you suggested to create and alias in /etc/modprobe.conf for this wireless device once the driver has been installed as follows:
"alias ath0 ath_pci"
do you mean eth0? or ath0 is a new device name that i m not aware of. to my surprise, the ethernet is labeled as eth1.
I'll try to yum install the driver tonight when i get home.
BTW, I am having a similar problem with an IBM T42 running fedora 7. i don't normally use wireless on this laptop because the wireless router (at work) can be flaky at times but it would be nice to install/enable wireless card for it in case i need to bring it home to do some work. I could very well use the wired connection at home with this T42 as well but it would be nice to use the wireless connection instead.
Any hint/tip would be much appreciated.
here is the current ifconfig and modprobe.conf of the T42

Notice, it seems to me that driver has already been loaded for the wireless eth1 but it doesn't pick up the signal. eth0 is the hard wire. perhaps, there is something i need to tweak?

Replacement wireless card for Lenovo X60

I just Bought a lenovo X60 tablet (Type 6367-A15) and the wireless card it came with is useless beyond five feet of the access point. I have tried a few cards and they don;t work because of a bios 802 error saying the pcie card is invalid and the computer won't boot. Is there a way to mod the bios and remove the whitest? Alternatively where can I find a list of accepted wireless cards.
Thank you for you help.

RAM upgrade for Thinkpad X60

Hello
I plan to upgrade my RAM from 1GB to 4GB in my X60. I have found two different RAM models of Kingston. One is specially made for Lenovo X60 [1] and one is the HyperX model [2] with the same specs. Should I chose one over the other? If yes, which and why?
Regards

The Intel 945 Chipset does not support "memory hoisting" or "memory remapping" feature (Whatever you wanna call it). Your machine loses 1GB of RAM, so it can map physical devices. And No, you cannot turn of devices in the bios to gain RAM memory. I tried it. In my opinion, 64 bit computing was a kludge at the start. They should have abandon 32 bit support completely at the start. What would really tick me off, if I had a desktop with the same problem. I know a few people who ran into that problem.

My Lenovo X60 bips for no apparent reason

My Lenovo X60 bips for no apparten reason, whether the volume is on or off. The bip happens every 45 seconds or so and it comes from the left side of the machine.
Does anyone know why this happen?
Does anyone know how to turn it off?
thanks

RM: You saved the day for me. I was at the ballgame and lost the use of iphone. So when I got back I first had to remember that other electronics worked and I Googled the question. Your answered of holding down both buttons at the same time worked. But I had to do it several times. I hope you know how much you have helped others with the simple answer first.
I'm ready to resisitate any one now by pushing their buttons simultaneously.
thanks.

SOLVED : Lenovo X60 spontaneous sleep mode problem.

The problem is the flat panel screen! (either t-conn board and/or backlight). Viewiz HV121X03-100 Part No. 42T0359 FRU No. 13N7205. LCD : Wistron P/N:60.4Q443.001
I have 2 identical of Lenovo X60 laptops, with swivel-type-hinge at center. One has this spontaneous sleeping mode problem. I thought it was the Inverter problem - WRONG. Next some say it's the motherboard, CPU fan & heatsink, BIOS updates wrong also. All of these assumptions and theories are wrong diagnosed.
Solution replace the flat panel screen (very expensive because it has Wacom digitizer glass on top of the screen and board at the bottom.)

Can't read airport express base station configuration wirelessly

The setup:
2TB time capsule that takes the ethernet feed from the cable modem for internet access.
Airport express 802.11g plugged into speakers for Airtunes. No ethernet connection, just a wireless network.
The problem:
I can only read the airport express base station configuration when the mac is plugged into the time capsule by ethernet cable. This does not happen with the other mac I have on the network. It can connect to both the time capsule and the airport express without any problems. So unless I'm plugged in, iTunes and airtunes doesn't connect to the base station, and neither can Airfoil 3.5 or Airport Utility. Airport Utility does see the airport express. It just doesn't read the configuration wirelessly.
I think this had something to do with elgato eyetv not liking airfoil, but I can't say for sure.
Any thoughts?

When I switch it on all three lights flash, but then after a while the middle one stays on and nothing happens.
You posted in the AirPort Express area, but it sounds like you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)--correct?
If so, let's start by performing a complete power recycling of your network components to make sure that the BT Voyager router "recognizes" the AEBS.
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
- Power-off the BT Voyager modem, AEBS, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the BT Voyager modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
- Power-off the BT Voyager modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the BT Voyager modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)

Can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac

Hi there. I can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac. I have it installed with USB just fine but I want to use eprint (with ios airplay). I run the setup utility looking for some wireless setup option, but it never appears. When I finish the install it tells me to go to the eprint website to download eprint. At that site it has me download the firmware update, which I do, and then at the end of that it tells me to go to the eprint website again, which then downloads the firmware update again. It's an endless loop.
I know I need to get to the built in web server but the config page tells me I don't have an IP address. Which makes sense to me because it hasn't been set up. I can't for the life of me find how to set up the wireless using the driver software on the Mac OS. I try to follow the manuals instructions, but it looks like it is designed for windows users, and the buttons it tells me to look for just don't exist on the mac HP driver software.
Can you help?

Hi,
The Wireless configuration should be made by using the EWS page, which also accessible from Mac OS over a USB connection through the printer setup.
You may find the steps listed below:
Click the Apple icon, then clickSystem Preferences.
Click Print & Fax.
Select your printer and click Open Print Queue.
Click on Printer Setup
Then select Utility
Click Open Printer Utility
Click HTMLConfig. The EWS opens.
Click the Networking tab
Then click Wireless from the list on the left
Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
In the confirmation box, click OK and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
Once done, allow 3 minutes to fully establish the connection, then unplug the USB.
Enter Print & Fax and remove the existing USB Print Queue.
Click the Plus button and add the printer over the network.
Please let me know of any issue,
Shlomi

Living in apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room). I've an airport express (new ) so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom

Living in an apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room) signal using for the internet connection. I've an airport express (new) ,so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom. because the wireless signal is so weak.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to. In order to do so, you would have to configure both the AirPort Express and the other wireless router for a WDS. Since it will unlikely that the other router is another AirPort, nor will you have the ability to administer it, you won't be able to get this accomplished.

Hello, I installed my new Apple TV and successfully completed the configuration (Wireless network, Apple ID, and others) yet I am always in the Computers and Setting page… can’t move to the main page – any idea on what and how, please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

Manual for lenovo A536

Is there a full manual for lenovo A536?

Shanya,
Serege1410's suggestion is good and will help you find information about your system, but much of what you seek is probably available in the preloaded software. You may also want to check the ThinkVantage section of the support site to read up about rescue and recovery to make and restore backups, and access connections to configure custom network and printing profiles.
