My wireless card is going out (as you may expect from an old computer like this) and I am wanting to upgrade, preferrably to something with Bluetooth built in.
Will the Intel 7260 (http://www.amazon.com/Intel-7260-HMWG-Wireless-AC-7260-Bluetooth/dp/B00DMCVKMU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electron... ) work with my model? Would HP be so kind as to whitelist any Intel device in the BIOS?
If not, could someone suggest to me a good wireless card with Bluetooth that will work with the G71? Thanks!
Operating System: Linux
First to start that laptop only came with Windows 7 driver support and doesn't indicate any Linux driver support. If you need more Linux support you might have to go to the Linux distro support support site that matches your Linux O/S version that would have more resources to help you to do what your doing and only list drivers for Windows 7.

  • Is X201 wireless card BIOS locked?

    Hi everyone, I have a fairly new X201 (3249-CTO) with the "Lenovo" wireless card, i.e. the Realtek 8172/8192SE card. I want to buy a different wireless card but have read conflicting reports about whether this is possible: Some say that the X201 is BIOS locked such that it won't boot unless a Lenovo-supplied card is used. Others have said that this used to be the case with older Thinkpads but is no longer with the X201. Does anyone know what the correct answer is? Many thanks, krull

    i don't think this will work on a machine as new as yours.  and you can't just go out and buy, say, an intel 5300 wireless card, you have to buy  a Lenovo branded intel 5300 wireless card.  even though the cards are exactly the same the non-Lenovo card will give you the error at boot.
    i'm not sure which cards will work best in linux but in windows 7 i found that the intel cards work the best. the atheros cards are laggy and the realtek cards drop connections a lot it seems.
    if you ever decide to run windows 7 the intel cards work the best.

  • PCI-e wireless card causes lock ups Z87 MPower MAX

    I've already asked this question once, but was part of an epic essay that I've decided to break down into smaller more manageable chunks (as unsurprisingly that one got no replies).
    I've got an ASUS PCE-A66 wireless ac pci-e card. Had absolutely no issues with it in my old Z77 board, but I seem to be having a lot of issues with it in my new Z87 MPower MAX. System was locking up like mad when I was trying to install the drivers at first. Had to rip out the WiFi/Bluetooth/WiDi module to get the drivers installed but the system randomly hangs on boot up? Don't get the issues with the card unplugged and don't always get it with it plugged in, but there seems to be some form of conflict with it that I can't resolve. Has anyone else had any such issues with any PCI-e add in cards on this motherboard?
    Specs are:
    i7 4770k
    MSI MPower MAX using .128 bios (will try the .131 later)
    2x4GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400
    Coolermaster Silent Pro Hybrid 1050w
    EVGA NVidia GTX 780 SC ACX
    Windows 8 Pro 64bit

    Yes, old system was Win8 Pro 64 bit too and the drivers are Windows 8 certified. As I say though, I had no issues with it on the old build? Even got a replacement sent out by Amazon in case the card itself was damaged  Did initially try to do a warm update of the hardware into the same OS installation but didn't play well so did a full re-install in the end. Tried standard and UEFI installs (just in case) and after a problem with my OCZ Vector 2 not being recognised I bought a new Samsung 840 Pro so was a virgin SSD installed on to as well.
    I'll raise it directly with MSI but just wanted to know if anyone else had experienced anything similar with any wireless cards in this mobo.
    Cheers for the reply though 

  • Satellite Pro 4600 Wireless card does not work with WIN2K ?

    I have a Satellite Pro 4600 with UK dealer installed PA3070U-1MPC wireless card running with Windows 2000
    The wireless client manager finds the network of my wireless router and reports the signal is excellent and I see all green bars swhowing.
    However I can't mske a connection, in 'connections' the wireless one says 'network cable is disconnected'
    the router works ok with other laptops in my house.
    I have latest version of Win2K also have downloaded and installed latest versions of client manager and WLAN card driver for win2k from toshiba website.
    The 'toshiba support in Turkey' told me 'I need a different driver for Win2K for my wireless card cause the win2K driver on the toshiba website is not for 'this' wireless card'. I have waited for this for 3 weeks now and have been unable to reach the elusive UK Level 3 support who supposedly have this driver. I have seen on the internet the same wireless card is has been sold as a 'made by toshiba' accessory and it says it is compatible with Wim2K
    What do I do next please ? Does this run at all with Win2K , is there 'another driver' and so on ?
    Thanks

    hello
    please be more scpecific - what do you mean by 'disconnect the LAN' - I have nothing conneced there anyway ? do you mean 'disable' the LAN even though there is nothing plugged in ? can you please post the exact sequence of this so I can try ir too.
    In the meantime my laptop has been to Toshiba for them to sort out at their highest level UK support base. I was hoping my troubles would be over - but no, read below what happened. They are basically saying my win2k is not in order but I had just installed and updated it so right now I haven't a clue what to do next.
    START QUOTE of Toshiba Support response:
    Sat Pro 4600
    Serial No: 31474181G
    Windows 2000 SP4 (customers build not recovery CD)
    BIOS V1.80 not current therefore updated to V2.60
    The notebooks wireless card is functional and has the correct driver installed, it also has the correct and latest version of the Wireless Client Manager. The wireless function appears to see the router but will not connect and obtain an IP address. Irrespective of the settings applied within Internet Explorer or the Wireless client manager you cannot obtain a connection. The customer did not have any Toshiba utilities installed such as, Power Saver, Common Modules, Chipset drivers, network device switch, I therefore installed these missing components and updated the BIOS to the most current revision. However despite this the unit will still not connect to the wireless.
    I therefore removed the customers HDD and replaced his HDD with a Toshiba loan HDD with a fresh build that I had created. When using the machine with this build the wireless connected without issue and I was able to browse the internet etc. I placed the customers HDD into our machine and the problem with the wireless was replicated on our machine here, therefore the problem is not with the wireless card or any hardware aspect of the machine, the problem lies with the customer's build of Win 2000. I examined for anything obvious but could not find anything, therefore I'm sending this machine back to customer with the advice that his build needs addressing or he needs to reload Win 2000 his machine.
    As you can see from the above comments, the machine performs as per specification with loan HDD and fresh build of Win 2000 installed, the problem is only present with you HDD and build in the machine. In addition to this I have replaced the missing screws on the base of the machine ensuring the machine is structure is maintained.

  • G500 Driver_Power_State_Failure problem most likely related to Wireless Card

    I recently upgraded my Lenovo G500 laptop to 8.1.
    After that, I've been constantly getting BSOD every time I modify some settings on my WIreless card (Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter). For instance, changing my MAC under the"Locally Administered MAC Address" causes the Wireless configuration window to stop responding, then my wireless adapter becomes permanently disabled (I try to enable it and it says that it is enabling but the adapter remains faded out and locked in a disabled state) unless I restart or power down my laptop. If I restart, the laptop hangs for 3-5 minutes and then a BSOD comes up and suggests that I look online for DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.
    I have updated the adapter as well as most, if not all outdated drivers on my laptop with the 8.1 drivers offered on Lenovo's support pages (This includes power management, BIOS, LAN, Audio, etc.). Even attempting to voluntarily disable my wireless card causes the BSOD.
    As long as I don't touch/modify such settings, I have wireless internet and all seems fine but once I do what I stated above, my laptop crashes with a BSOD. I have looked up and searched about such a BSOD but my laptop has zero problems when I put it to sleep or wake it up. My laptop functions practically flawless except for when changing/modifying settings on my wireless card.
    For instance, on Whocrashed.exe:

    I ran SFC /scannow and it did detect corrupted files but that has been resolved using the Restorehealth command prompt. I have tried booting to safe mode, uninstalling the adapter and then updating straight to the most current 8.1 driver and that still causes the BSOD.
    I'm almost certain that my wireless card probably is defective, or the laptop is defective. I'm still under warranty but I'm hoping to fix this issue before resorting to what I deem as last resorts of factory restoring the laptop or calling Lenovo support.
    I am also providing minidumps, driver lists and a whole ton of useful information on my Skydrive:

    Any suggestions or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated as I feel like I've exhausted all other methods.

    "If I restart, the laptop hangs for 3-5 minutes and then a BSOD comes up and suggests that I look online for DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE."
    I had the exact same problem on a Thinkpad Helix after upgrading to Windows 8.1, although I do not know if it was in anyway related to the wireless hardware as you described. However, I noted that in the Device Manager many wireless hardware components had been highlighted with an exclamation mark since the problem had occured (e.g. Bluetooth, Geolocation, Broadband). Here is how I fixed it:
    1. I went to System Settings / Device Manager.
    2. Disabled all devices that were highlighted with an exclamation mark. I noted that the Device Manager would not respond after disabling so I closed it and then chose to not wait (i.e. forced the Device Manager to close).
    3. Repeated step (2.) until all devices highlighted with an exclamation mark were disabled.
    4. Restarted the laptop (I don't know if I had to force the shut down via power off at that time, but it may be necessary or you wait for the BSOD).
    5. Repeated step (1.) and uninstalled all the drivers of the devices disabled in steps (2.) to (3.), enabling the option to remove the driver from the system, where possible.
    6. Restarted the system. This time the shutdown should only take a few seconds.
    So far, everything works fine again and I cannot identify any limitations through the disabling and uninstalling of devices (esp. wireless devices do work flawlessly).
    Hope this works for some of you guys out there as well. Let me know.
    Good luck!

  • PCI wireless card does not work after restart - FM2-A55M-E33

    Installed TP-LINK WN751ND wireless PCI card onto FM2-A55M-E33 motherboard. The card works fine after cold start, but does not work after restart. Windows recognises the card, but it gets code 10, cannot start.
    BIOS is updated (v.11.1), as well as drivers and Windows 7 64.
    I suspect that this might be the issue: Incorrect ASPM Transitions on the GPP Interface as found in ChipsetMotherboard_TechDocs/48671.pdf on AMD's official support site.
    Does anyone know more about this issue?

    Great! I've done that and now my card shows up. Thing is, when I try to get an IP address, it won't work. Here is the command output:
    ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change monitor mode: false (implement)
    ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change power-save mode: false (implement)
    ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_bss_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
    And then it times out and no IP is assigned. The thing is, wpa_supplicant stays alive after this time out, and I am unable to kill it (killall -9 wpa_supplicant won't kill it). At this point if I try to reboot the machine, it will stop at 'Rebooting' and won't go anywhere. If I turn off the wireless card in its switch Linux crashes. If I try to get an ip again (by running dhcpcd) the command will hang and not return to the shell anymore.
    I am unable to find any useful information in the logs.
    Got any more suggestions?
    Thanks! (And sorry to disturb so much)

  • Wireless Card Upgrade Help!

    Hello,
              First post so be gentle with me! I need some help upgrading my wireless card on my Compaq nx6310 laptop. I have the original card in there since new and I now have a much faster fibre connection with a Hauwei HG533 wireless router so I understand if I upgrade the wireless card to an all singing all dancing 802.11 b/g/n one I can connect at a faster speed. I´m running XP Home SP3. I understand the card must be a genuine HP product or on the bios whitelist but I don´t know if one is available for my kit and where I can get one. I want the best available. I have attached some pics. of the existing one.
    Thank you in advance for any help......
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Since your interest is in upgrading to an802.11b\g\n wireless adapter  then you simplest solution is to purchase a  Type I, or Type II , or Type III  Cardbus wireless card.  You may have to look for that type of card in the preowned market.
    The card plugs into the slot(s) on the left-hand of your notebook.
    There are no internal network adapter currently made that will fit your notebook.
    Your notebook is of a notebook generation when only 802.11 a\b\g existed and that  is what makes cardbus adapters your best option.

  • 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.

  • Dm4-2191us wireless card replacement compatibility

    Hey y'all,
    I got an HP DM4-2191us from Stables the other day. I've just arrived after a long 8 hour flight to my home here in **bleep**atoga, American Samoa, and am typing this message using a friend's laptop at a Krispy Kreme. Normally the internet's pretty fast here. But anyways my wireless ain't connectin on my DM4 so I took it over to our local repair shop a few blocks over in Suifaga to see if the boys there could get it workin again. To make a long story longer, they've just called me on my cell phone to tell me that they can't get the old wireless working. My friend Fabien's going to say to you what they said to him when i handed him my phone after they called me. Bye :-*
    Hello. I am the computer expert. I understand there is like a specific model of wireless device compadible with the HP DM4-2191us. My girlfriend say she think's that the cozmic radiashon is affecting her notebook while in the aeroplane. My girlfriend is looking for a wireless card that is compadible. I have looking inside her bios and saw that there are only these cards compadible which we can find on the island. My girlfriend has a photoshoot on monday and will have to make the pictures format on her computer and then send out photos to her clientelle using her wireless. There is not enough time for my girlfriend to sending her laptop off to switzerland to fix. im am sorry, my first language is Tokelauan and I do not have a proper language driver for my notebook.

  • Turning wireless card on and off

    I just got my new laptop and am putting Arch on it of course.  It has the Intel 3945 card which is pretty common so I thought I'd use the iwlwifi driver.  I followed the Wiki and even perused a couple other laptop wiki entries with the same card to see how they did it but none of them have worked correctly.  I think the reason is because the actual card isn't turned on.  When I boot into Windows the little wifi light comes on indicating the card is active and I can connect to a wireless network then but when I boot into Arch the light is off.  iwconfig wlan0 essid mynetwork and iwconfig wlan0 key ******** both run without error but I don't have an IP address.
    The only problem is there's no key combination to turn the card on and off.  It's a little button that you slide one way to turn on bluetooth and wireless and the other way to turn it off.  The bluetooth light is on in Linux but not the wireless.  It's driving me crazy because I can't seem to find anything in the manual about it and the card is set to be turned on by default in the BIOS.  What else can I do?

    OK, I think I figured it out.  I'm now using my wireless card to browse the Internet.  I think what was happening was my wired interface (eth0) was conflicting with my wireless interface.  Once I brought my wired connection down, I was able to connect with the wireless one.
    Maybe someone can simplify the process for me now.  I've disabled eth0 in rc.conf but in order to get the wireless up and running I have to bring up wlan0 with ifconfig, use iwconfig to configure the essid and key and then connect through wifi-radar (even though wifi-radar already contains the correct configuration).  That means I can't just connect with wifi-radar after boot.  I have to run those iwconfig and ifconfig commands first.  I considered putting wlan0 as an interface in rc.conf but the Wiki entry I read said not to do that for the 3945 card.  So is there any way to streamline this process?
    And I guess Linux just doesn't send any power to the little light even though it does for the bluetooth one.  That really doesn't boher me but it did throw me for a loop the first time around.

  • Wireless card upgrade

    Hi,
    I would like to upgrade the old Intel WiFi Link 5100 wireless card in my DV7-2185dx to a new wireless AC card. Would the AC card be compatible? If so, which card would be recommended? I have an AC router and a USB adapter that works great, I just would like to have something internal. Maybe even a combo card with bluetooth to free up one of my USB ports.
    Thanks

  • N500 Wireless card upgrade?

    I have an N500, that came with the Broadcom b/g card.  I want to upgrade to wireless N, would like to know what cards outside of the ones available from Lenovo anyone has had luck with.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello and welcome,
    Lenovo laptops use a BIOS whitelist.  Wifi cards have to have a Lenovo FRU number - which means they've been modified to meet the whitelist requirements.  In other words, a generic Intel 5100 won't pass, but a 5100 with FRU 43Y6493 should.  Reputable vendors will list the FRU if a board is Lenovo-compatible.
    The Hardware Maintenance Manual and the BIOS readme are the best references for what's compatible with your machine.  From the HMM:
    Intel WiFi Link 5100 v 4233-CTO, 32x, 33x, 34x, 35x, 36x, 37x, 38x, 39x, 3Ax, 3Bx, 3Cx, 3Dx, 3Ex
    43Y6493
    Lenovo 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter v 4233-CTO
    43Y6487
    Lenovo 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter v 4233-CTO

    thank you and i hope i get what i'm looking for i wanna reset this laptop and just download latest drivers

    > i re-install windows every few months to keep the laptop fresh and fast
    Many people think the same but especially fast has mostly nothing to do with BIOS update. If everything works well why to change anything and risk something.
    My notebook is 3 years old and I use it still with original BIOS. No problems at al. Anyway, I think you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and explain the situation. Be clear and tell them that you are not happy now and you want to have old BIOS version again. They have access to BIS database and can obtain older version for you.

  • Device failed to start - Code 10 - Intel Wireless Card on NB550D

    Hi everyone,
    It's just a normal Toshiba NB550D netbook
    The only thing that I change is the Wireless Card inside it: the original is a common Atheros half mini card. Recently I have the urge to use internet in 5 ghz (frequency).
    Thus, I decide to replace the old one with the *half mini card Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN*
    It doesn't turn out so well. The driver is not recognised or more precisely the windows tries to install the driver but FAIL is reported. Device manager tool shows an "!" next to the network card and when I go the its properties at general tab: "*The device failed to start - Code 10*"
    I tried many ways to uninstall the driver and reinstall again ; also tried to download drivers from toshiba website for intel network card.
    Nothing works so far and yeah I just don't know what to do now.
    The possibility that the intel card is broken or malfunctioned is eliminated because I checked that with another laptop already and it just worked like a charm.
    Please help me solve this problem. I really need to use dual band (2.4 and 5 ghz) internet.
    Appreciate any help!!

    Regarding the error code 10:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104/en-us
    +The Code 10 error pertains mainly to hardware and device driver issues or to compatibility issues between hardware drivers and additional software that is installed in Windows.+
    I dont think its Wlan card issue it could be a compatibility problem between the BIOS and the WLan card.
    Not all devices are supported by BIOS.
    But at the other hand the WLan card appears already in device manager and therefore I think there should not be a BIOS compatibility issue.
    Did you check if chipset would handle the Wlan card properly?
