How to install Ethernet and Wireless adapters after fresh install

My laptop's hard disk died. I got a new hard disk and did a fresh install. But I can't see the Ethernet and Wireless icons on the tray. I am assuming that I have to install those drivers. How do I go about that?
Terry

The easiest way is to download
1, Go to Lenovo's support site, find the driver matrix for your model of ThinkPad, download the Ethernet driver, and install it.
2. Then download and install ThinkVantage System Update.
3. Run TVSU and let it find and install all the drivers, utilities, etc. that you need.
You'll also want to do a Microsoft Update at the Microsoft site.

How Do I Network Multiple Base Stations Using Ethernet AND Wireless?

Hi, everyone. I am having great difficulty setting up a network using multiple Airport Extreme base stations that are connected using both ethernet and wireless connections. I have one main base station connected to a cable modem, and I want to create a unified network and share its internet connection with three other base stations: one that is connected on an ethernet network, one connected to it wirelessly, and the fourth that would be connected wirelessly to the base station on the ethernet network.
The "Designing Airport Networks" manual explains how to build roaming networks of base stations that are connected to one another via ethernet. And it also explains how to build a WDS of wirelessly connected base stations. What it doesn't explain is how to build a network employing both ethernet AND wireless!
I spent most of today trying to get the base stations to work in various configurations to no avail. I could get part of the network working, but not all of it. I'm at the point where I'm going to need to do a hard, factory reset on all the base stations and start over, but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions for me. Any help would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks so much...

If you have stations connected via Ethernet and want them to appear as a single seamless wireless network, configure them as follows:
Same SSID (network name).
Different channels. As far apart as possible.
Same wireless encryption type/level/password.
Only the base station connected to the Internet source distributes IP addresses. All the others are configured as bridges.
If you have stations connected wirelessly using WDS and want them to appear as a single seamless wireless network, configure them as follows:
Same SSID (network name).
Same channel.
Same wireless encryption type/level/password.
It appears that you want to mix the 2 type of connections. This is easily done and here is a simple example:
base1 Ethernet base2
In this example base1 and base 2 are configured as I suggested above for Ethernet connections.
Now add base3 connected wirelessly:
base1 Ethernet base2 wireless base3
Now base2's configuration must be modified slightly so that it acts as a WDS main. base3 is configured to act as a WDS remote (or relay).
No changes are needed to base1 since it is completely unaware and uninvolved in the WDS link between base2 and base3.

How to configure use of Ethernet and wireless simultaneously, with different Windows´s?

Hello friends,
My network has two Win XP-laptops connected via ethernet to a Dovado-router, and from the Dovado-router another ethernet cable to a Win 7 PC.
The Win 7 PC connects to the internet via a D-Link wireless network to my ISP wireless router Huawei E589.
Problem: the PC refuses to work with both ethernet and wireless at the same time.
I use the ethernet for tranferring vast amounts of graphical data (astronomy photographs at 3-4 GB each), and I can only access the internet through the wireless. Neither XP nor 7 wizards are able to fix it. Both networks were visable in Network Center,
now only the wireless is available. Ethernet is gone.
What do I do, to make it work?

Hi,
What's your purpose? My understanding is that you want Windows 7 PC wireless use internet and wired use Lan. If I am misunderstand please point me fault.
For the situation you can do like this:
1) Setting for your both routers.
Make sure both routers have different Router IP's and SUBNETS, you should try to set the subnet of Dovado-router to 255.255.255.252(this router should be used as local Lan, not connect to internet).
Set the subnet of D-link to 255.255.255.0
2) Setting For the LAN adapter.
Under the TCP/IP properties(Lan adapter), please assign a unique IP address (which coincides with the subnet of Dovado-router ), set the subnet to 255.255.255.252 (or whatever you set it to Dovado-router). The very important things is that
don't assign any GATEWAY to Lan adapter, leave it blank.
3) Setting For the WIRELESS adapter.
Under TCP/IP properties(wireless adapter), please assign a unique IP address (that coincides with the wireless router), set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 (or whatever the default is for the wireless router), and make sure to type gateway IP address ( D-link
IP address).
Now you can test if they are work normally.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

How to restore files from Time Machine after Clean Install of Mavericks

How to restore files from Time Machine after Clean Install of Mavericks. I know the data is there but seems unaccessable because I may have changed the Computer or Owner name. Is there any way to fix that now?

Hi Linc,
my back-up data is managed by Time Machine; the actual data is on a second internal Hard Drive with a capacity of 1TB - not partitioned. I am using Time Machine and have access to all data backed up since Mavericks Clean Install but not the data prior to this date.
When I open the 1TB drive in Finder I can see a folder "Backups.backupdb/Sigi's Mac Pro/ followed by many folders of backup dates going back to 2010-09-20-103441 and up to 2014-02-07-142414 all followed with folder Macintosh HD. February 7th 2014 was the date of the clean install.
These Backups are followed by backup date folder 2014-02-08-075554 with a subfolder of MacPro-320GB (this is the name I assigned to my Boot Drive during formatting; I suspect I should have assigned the same name as before ie. Macintosh HD) and 2014-02-11 with a subfolder Macintosh HD, these are the ones I get access to by way of Time Machine > Restore.
Weird thing is on Febr 11 when I relised my possible mistake and renamed the Bootdrive back to what it was initially ie. Macintosh HD despite this I have access to all backup data since the Clean Install in both folders MacPro-320GB as well as Macintosh HD but not to any data prior to the Clean Install.
Is there something that Time Machine knows and prevents access or is it simply a matter of renaming the subfolder 2014-02-08-07554/MacPro-320GB to ........./Macintosh HD?
I like to restore selectively and not everything - It was hard work reinstalling apps that were supposed to be the troublemakers (ref my discussion on Maverick problems) but I now need to get onto data specific to some of these apps as well as other data I may have missed. Long story? Yes and sorry.

Both ethernet and wireless time-out trying to connect

I'm having a problem with getting my laptops' IP assigned by dhcp. Both over ethernet and wireless.
I have no problem connecting to my WPA connection at home, but now I'm at my parents for a week or two, it refuses to connect to their WEP network.
To connect to my WPA network I run this script from rc.local, which works fine on startup.
ifconfig ra0 up
iwconfig ra0 essid *********
iwconfig ra0 ap **:**:**:**:**:**
iwconfig ra0 rate auto
iwconfig ra0 channel auto
iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
iwconfig ra0 txpower auto
iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=AES
iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK=***************************************
iwpriv ra0 set TxRate=0
dhcpcd ra0
So for the WEP network, I have commented all that out and changed rc.conf like so:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
ra0="dhcp"
wlan_ra0="ra0 essid ***** key *******************"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(ra0)
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 ra0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
But when I try to connect it just returns "Error, ra0: timed out".
I have also tried modifying rc.local (appropriately i think), but that seems to time-out too.
This wouldn't be so bad if I had the option to connect by ethernet, but that doesnt work either! It also times out, just like the wireless. I don't think it is the router, as all the other computers in the house work fine, both wired and wireless. But I don't think it's a driver issue either, as I can see all the AP's in kismet, and also I used the ethernet port when I first installed Arch a couple of months ago. I assume it's dodgy config files or clashing commands or something, but I've looked in the wiki and other forums etc, and I can't see what I'm doing wrong.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
Paul

Make sure about the addresses for the LAN the router at your parents is using - they are not necessarily the same.

FireFox has stopped working and will not run after fresh install

Yesterday I noticed that the address bar was not working and the graphics were not being shown correctly. When I typed in the address bar it would no atuto complete and even if i typed yahoo.com nothin would happen. The only way I could go to a website was to use my bookmarks.
I did a fresh install and now it doesn't work at all. So, I uninstalled firefox and then did a fresh install. Sill nothing. IE, Chrome, and Safari work fine.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Apple TV 2nd Gen - ethernet and wireless

Can you use ethernet and wireless connections at the same time? I am trying to improve movie watching on Netflix and want a direct connection. However, I dont want to give up wireless for music and photos, etc.

No.
It's one or the other. Plugging an ethernet cable in will disable the wireless on the Apple TV.

The Prob is def with Mac 10.5.1 Get bootcamp install XP and wireless works.

I have all the problems everyone is having on here as well. But you know what? I Boot into XP and wireless works fine. Apparently apple makes better drivers for Windows then there own OS I thought mac was suppose to just "work" Then to find if I login with xp it just, "works" what am i to believe now haha
I really hate using XP but its the only way I can connect to the net consistently ...
My mac is all like "Wait i found a connection..." "ok i found it" "ok let me connect" "ok im connected... but... wait not really" "i know it looks like im connected but I am going to make you sad"
It does make me sad
BTW I have tried every single option/config possible. Nothing works. BC you know what? It should just "WORK"
Ill sit humbly on xp till this gets fix but for now just wait it out

Time: This has been discussed a lot; Mac OS and Windows read your computer's clock differently. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6271964&#6271964

edit the jtffmctl.cmd and make sure that it point to the correct java path, alse try to use java 1.4.1

Keep getting a prompt to install java even when not surfing the net. I have java installed and the control panel says it is right version. Want to know how to stop prompts. This started after I installed Yosemite.

Since installing Yosemite I keep getting a prompt to install Java even when I am not surfing the net. Went system preferences and I have recommended version installed. I want to know how to stop the prompts. I do not have this problem on my iMac.

Most likely, you have either the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. Both depend on the Java runtime distributed by Apple. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.

[SOLVED] Can't get ethernet and wireless working on timelineX 3820TG

Hi folks I am new around here, but wanted to try arch for a while now.
So here is my problem and description :
I installed Arch (everything in order there and the guide is great! ), but when I come to the part of connecting to the internet I seem to be left without an option for internet conection. Which is strange because I have Ubuntu installed on the machine and wireless works (propriatary drivers) and ethernet kind of works (atheros driver).
Now from Ubuntu I know that for my wifi I need the wl kernel module (Broadcom wireless card) and that I need the atl1c module for the Ethernet.
So here is some basic info about the machine:
installed image 2010.05 x64 with kernel:
2.6.33-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 13 11:32:37 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
ifconfig -a output :
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Even if I load the atl1c module the output is the same, I tried loading the atl1e instead. I also tried blacklisting atl1c and atl1e and adding them with modprobe command.
here are the two adapters (wireless and lan) :
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0)
05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4357 (rev 01)
EDIT:
Well...
After a quite extensive research I see that the atl1c and atl1e are quite buggy... so I guess in my case they won't work.
But I am not giving up yet...
all I need is internet conection (wireles or wired), so I did some research on the Broadcom 4357.
It turnes out that I can find it in the AUR repository. And there is also a tar from broadcom.
I also found this guide which describes how to install the driver.
That however presents new problems...
make command output for the broadcom driver :
make: *** /lib/modules/"release"/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
while "makepgk" tells me that makepgk is not installed.
I also searched in the packages section for build-essential, makepgk... but found nothing relevant. Maybe I did something wrong ?
Any Ideas on how to get it all working and compile the driver? (preferably with the files from AUR)
Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks. i found this one: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19514
that's too bad. i was hoping i wouldn't have to use it, but maybe i have no choice.
but now that broadcom has released the driver as open source (see this: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ker … ral/55418), will broadcom-wl become obsolete?

Problems with Installing iTunes and wireless network connection

Every time I attempt to install iTunes it completely kicks the internet off and an error comes up that the wireless network adapter to not connect or is not detected. My internet service is connected to a router which I receive wirelessly to my laptop. I do not understand why it is happening and to get the internet to work again I needed to do a system restore. Any ideas why this is happening. Also when iTunes was installed it came up correctly, it would just not connect to the net. I have had a previous version on my old laptop but since purchasing this new laptop I am having such difficulty. On another note, if this problem can be resolved, once iTunes is working is there a way to get the songs from my old computer onto the new? Thanks for the help in advance!

I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
Issue:
During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
Resolution:
After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
6. Click OK.
7. Reboot.
Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

Why can't the 6700 support both ethernet and wireless simultaneously?

I have two desktop computers connected to my wirless router/cable modem via ethernet and two laptops that connect via wireless. Can I configure my new 6700 to accept both?

Hi,
Any consumer product support either Ethernet or Wireless connection, the connections cannot be used simultanly..
However connecting the pritner to your network (either by Ethernet or Wireless) will allow installing the printer on ANY pc connected to the same network, either by Wireless opr Ethernet connection..
Once the printer connected to your network, simply install the CD on any of your computers...
hope that clarifies,
Shlomi
