Fitting a mini pci wifi card to a T21 HELP PLEASE! :D

hello you lovely people
I currently have USB2.0 functionality and wifi on my T21 courtesy of a dongle and power from the 5v mouse socket
what i want to do is put a mini pci wifi card inside my T21 so i dont have a dongle sticking out like a sore thumb
1. is this possible or is it only the T23 you can do this too?
2. can anyone show me the specific card and aerial i would need
i cant find any help on the net for the T21 in particular
hoping someone here might shed some light on this
thanks for any help or pointers you can give

Your best bet would be to find a complete lid with integrated wireless from a T23, and add an internal card, Broadcom 4306 or 4309 (b/g and a/b/g respectively) have been proven to work well in these machines.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

External antenna on mini PCI WiFi card

Hello,
The stock mini PCI WiFi card on the MEGA 865 has terrible range. I can not connect to an access point beyond 20 feet. Can an external antenna be added to the card? Does someone sell a mini PCI WiFi with external antenna? The new MEGA 865 PRO has an external antenna!!!!! Where can I buy this 865 PRO WiFi card and antenna? My PCI slot is filled and USB keys seem to have about the same range.
In another computer I have a D Link PCI card 802.11 a/b/g with external antenna with excellent signal at 100 feet.
Thanks for your help!

ahh ha! success...
I got new Intel drivers for my wireless Mini-PCI card from the Intel site itself.
It now is very stable...transferred more than 5gig at once without dropouts
Only problem is that the speed is sacrificed a bit...i was getting slightly higher transfer rates with the original drivers(which came with the card).. now im getting max 2MByte/s(16Mbits/s) with these new drivers....also Windows can see the wireless network connection as "Status:Excellent"..so im pleased with the stability
Can any1 explain how(even when 2 wireless-G devices are sitting next to each other) they can never reach 54MBit/s ??? So then 108MB/s must be an absolute load of crap ..and not even reach 54MBit/s properly
I should be getting around 54MBit/s ..after all why say its 54MBit/s when its not ....grrrr

Can I add a mini pci WiFi card in my Sat Pro L10?

My L10 has no internal wifi card installed but the motherboard has a socket for it. The wifi switch on the front is blanked off and the keyboard hot key is not configured.
If a card was added could the hot key be configured to be an on/off

Hi
As far as I know you can upgrade the unit with the wifi mini PCI card. The Fn keys should also works and should enable the antenna with the key combination FN+F8.
I also found the hotkey utility and a wireless driver for this unit on the Toshiba page.

How can I turn on the mini-PCI WiFi card on Satellite 1905-S301?

greetz! I have installed an optional mini-PCI wireless LAN card into my Toshiba Satellite 1905-s301 notebook and turned on its power switch. MS WXP Pro SP2 recognized the hardware and installed its drivers - there is no cross or question mark next to the Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter in the Device Manager. However the Wireless Network Connection Manager is telling me there is no wireless adapter present. When hitting Fn+F8 a window pops up saying There is no build-in wireless LAN.
What do I need to do to enable my optional wireless LAN mini-PCI card??? If possible, email your suggestions to my email, please!

Hi
You have to enable the WLan switch at the notebook side!!!
Additional select the WLan card properties and check the Advanced tab.
There should be an option called Radio on/off. You have to set it to on.
greetings

Startup gets 'Network cable unplugged' on mini-PCI wireless card

I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have an intermittent problem connecting my Tecra 9100 to it. If the 9100 has been shutdown for a while (like overnight), when I restart I always get 'Network cable unplugged' for the wireless connection. Rebooting a number of times (anything from 3 upwards) I eventually get connected to the router and all then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (i.e. once the wireless card has connected) does not cause a problem but as soon as I leave the machine shutdown for a length of time it fails again at reboot.
There are no errors in the Event log.
I am using the built in mini-PCI wireless card and have already upgraded to the latest driver.
Any ideas gratefully recieved, at the moment each morning is a 20-30 minute frustration of rebooting trying to get my connection working.
(Running Win2K Professional)

Checking other boards for help (Netgear etc.) it seems that the 'Network cable unplugged' is a common message when wireless connectivity is failing. However, to prove the point, I have disabled the other LAN card (for which I was also getting 'network cable unplugged' but as expected since it was). I still get the same issue with the wireless card, although now the reboots are slightly more predictable - it normally seems to succeed on the third reboot. I guess disabling the other card has changed the startup timing slightly and in that way made things slightly better.
Again, any other suggestions gratefully received. As this seems to be a timing issue at startup, I am suspicious that one of the other things that runs at that time is causing the problem.

More info : I have found that this is time related rather than related to the number of reboots. It always fails on the first reboot after being shut down for a period of time. At this point, however long I wait the connection never comes up. However, if I wait a few minutes and then reboot, the second reboot will always successfully establish the connection.
On this basis, the problem has become slightly less annoying as I have a workaround - boot once, wait a few minutes and reboot. That being said, any information on how I can isolate this further (e.g. tracing what is running at startup) would be gratefully recieved.

[SOLVED] kernel crash with PCI wifi card

HI,
I id install and start to use arch just two weeks ago :-)
I was able to solve problems until now.
I am not sure if this is problem of arch kernel, maybe it will be general.
I did insert PCI wifi card to my PC with arch. Card is Z-COM XI-626 : LAST LINE:

1802 Error Message on installation of Broadcom Mini-PCI Wireless Card

I am getting an 1802 error message on boot when I install the Broadcom Mini-PCI wireless card. I know it has something to do with some code IBM put into the BIOS or CMOS to check the cards for manufacturer or something like that. Is there anyway around this message or do I have to try and find an IBM mini-PCI wireless card for this machine?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

All depends on how one defines success...
To put it this way: A3x machines are very unpredictable and moody when it comes to these issues, and you're talking to someone who has owned over a hundred A31p ThinkPads, not counting A30/p and A31 units along the way. More than once I've faced a scenario where the card that worked "out of the box" in one machine required a hack in the next one...
But to answer your question:
Can it be done? Absolutely.
Do I recommend it? Absolutely not.
IBM-issued (with a proper FRU number) Intel 2200BG should work in your machine with no hack. Some people have reported this experience even with generic card of the same type.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

How To Install mini-pci wireless card in 1955-S805 ?

I'm trying to install a new mini-pci wireless card in my Satellite 1955-S805. I was able to pry off the black shiny strip above the keyboard, and unscrew the two screws holding down the keyboard. But under the keyboard is a silver metal plate. There doesn't appear to be a way to get past that. Everything I've read seems to say that the mini-pci card goes under the keyboard.
Does anyone know how to install a mini-pci card in these 1955-S805 notebooks? Or does anyone have a tech manual on this model?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat
I am not sure but you have an US model. I have 1900-703 notebook. It is a European model and I had no problem to install mini-pci wireless card.
Your unit has also wireless keyboard. Am I right?
If you want to built in wireless card you must remove the keyboard from notebook using keyboard releases on the left and right side of your unit. After that you can see small cover on the place of keyboard and this cover is fixed with one screw. Under this small cover there is wireless card slot.

A20p, got a mini-pci wireless card working on it

I had thought this impossible. Everywhere i'd looked i couldn't find one person who'd got this working.
Today i've just done it. I had an SMC wireless router which had failed, it kept powering itself off all of the time so i'd bought a new router. Before i chucked the old router out i took it apart to have a look to see if i could find what had failed. To my surprise it had a mini-pci wireless card mounted in a slot on the mainboard (to give it wireless functionality i guess). I got the wireless card out and left the antenna leads still connected to the antennas on the back panel of the router.
Then i removed the mini-ethernet/56K modem card (IBM FRU-08K3125) from the A20p mini-pci slot and put the mini-pci wireless card in it's place. For the time being i left the antenna wires hanging out of the bottom with the router back panel and antenna still attached.
I hadn't got a clue who the manufacturer of the wireless card was but what i did have was the chipset number "TNETW1130GVF" which i obviously got off the chip on the mini-pci card. After a quick search i found some drivers that should be compatible with the chipset:-
http://www.safecom.cn/code/support/DMF.aspx?pid=316#
I've also tried these (actually the same thing):-
http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/other/2007-6-26/TI-TNETW1130GVF-Chipset-Driver.htm
I loaded them up and it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both driver downloads work!!!!
Now i've just got to find some internal antenna and wire them into the case!
Edit: i forgot to mention that the card is being recognised as a Texas instruments 802.11g MiniPCI card in Windows Device Manager (which is no surprise as it's a Texas Instruments Chipset). Also i'm on WinXP Pro SP3.

Who would have known? I wouldn't have expected a router to use a mini-PCI card.

Can Any one please help me find a compatible Wireless N MINI PCI Express Card for my HP G50-133us?

I have a HP G50-133US notebook, it currently has a Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter. I am looking to upgrade it to a B/G/NWiFi Card. I can find plenty of Mini Pci-Express Wireless N cards but not sure if they are compatible. Does anyone know if as long as it is Mini PCI-Express and have the correct drivers this would work? Or does anyone know if a known working upgrade that would work? Any help would be appreciated!! Thank you!.

You MUST get an HP branded wi-fi card AND it has to be on the "white list" for your computer in the BIOS or the card will block the computer from booting with an error message. Here is a link to your Manual:
Manual
Page 19 starts the list of known compatible wifi cards.
You can search eBay by part number for the card and likely find one at a decent price.

Mac Mini Early 2006 Mini PCIe SATA Card Not Showing Up

I'm trying to add a couple of SATA ports to an early 2006 mac mini by swapping out the mini PCIe AirPort for a SATA card. This is the card I'm using http://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/HDD-Controllers/SATA-Cards/2-Port-Mini-PC I-Express-Internal-SATA-II-Controller-Card~MPEXSATA22I, problem is it doesn't seem to show up when installed in the mac. The card works perfectly when installed in a different machine.
The AirPort card shows up fine when swapped back, so the connector's okay. But with the SATA card installed, System Profiler says the computer doesn't contain any PCI cards. I've tried resetting the NVRAM with no success. I don't even see an entry for the device it in the ioreg output, so I'm thinking there might be a power issue. Does the mac mini supply both 3.3V and 5V to the mini PCIe connector? Is there anything special I need to do to get this card to show up?
Thanks.

There a long thread about this on the 123MacMini forum. At page three, they mention drivers (you need drivers, right?) and there is a link...
http://www.123macmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22943&postdays=0&postorder=asc& highlight=pcie+sata&start=30
Actually, that thread might refer to a different, but similar, card.
Don't know if it finally worked. Be very interested to hear. (Not sure why Apple is/has always shunned eSATA?)

Need advice for buying a mini pci wireless card

Hi,
I have a Toshiba laptop that I have bought almost two years ago. This laptop has a Intel 2200BG wireless chipset which does work, but the connection quality is quite low. Sometimes the connection speed jumps, sometimes it drops altogether. I've tried all the driver upgrades, power management tricks and all that could be found on the net. Some of those help, but there is always something that does not work as it should.
Long story short, I've decided to buy a Wireless mini pci card. The problem is that these cards are nowhere to find. There is nothing on Toshiba's site and apart from some offers on eBay there is almost nothing to choose from. I know there are other options, but I prefer a mini pci card.
Can anyone help me on this issue?
Thank you,
Peter.

Hi Peter!
I had the same problem with my Satellite M70 and Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card. I had noticed that ping response (e.g. with WinMTR application) to router was very poor and there was a even 3 seconds delay and many packets lost. It was impossible to me to make any VoIP call. Other laptops of course work fine in the network. I was said in Toshiba service that it should be like this, and they cannot exchange the card.
The only solution that I found is to change card configuration to work only in "B" mode.
Try:
1. Go to Start/Connect To/Wireless Network Connection/.
2. Click "Change advanced settings".
3. Click Configure and choose Advanced tab.
4. Find "Wireless network mode", change to 802.11b only!
It will reduce maximum network connection rate to 11MB/s (important only if you are sharing huge files in local network) but stability will be significantly better. Ping will be never less than 0,05s.
Other solution is of course buying a Atheros mini-pci card. Try to find it in shops specialized in wireless communication.
Best regards
Chris

Pci wifi card do they work??

Im not fussed about using the airpost utilty, as long as it connects to the internet, but TBH i would rather something internal and well built unlike those terrible dongles, i recently installed a USB Pci card that has a internal USB port and my Usb dongle doesnt work on the internal one for some reason, so i would rather have an Pci instead, as to save internal slot for other uses

Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Power Mac G5
Model Identifier: PowerMac7,3
Processor Name: PowerPC G5 (2.2)
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 2
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 1 GHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.1.8f7
and ive found some on ebay that say they are mac compatible :S?? :
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/54Mbps-Wireless-WiFi-PCI-LAN-Network-Card-Adapter-MAC-/220 727413934?pt=UKComputing_Networking_SM&hash=item3364610cae#ht_1849wt907
i suppose i could try it, and if it does not work, i could use it with my PC which is in need of a wifi card, but are there any recommended cards?

Fitting a mini pci wifi card to a T21 HELP PLEASE! :D
