Intel Centrino 6200N on X60s?

Hi all,
I bought this card on ebay (Lenovo branded) hoping it would work with my X100e. Both are arriving soon. I see now that the BIOS will not allow the X100e to boot with the 6200 in place. How about on my X60s? It currently has an Intel 3945abg card and for that reason, I keep my home wifi "802.11n with g-compatible."
Any ideas? Or should I just return the card when it arrives?

Unlike the x100, for the x60 there's already a bios with the whitelist removed.

So, even if the stock bios doesn't accept that card you can easily fix the problem.

It's a dual band (2.4 + 5 ghz) card
For $7 it is worth it to see if it works. The problem on some newer model laptops is that the only dual band card listed does not actually exist. This one appears to exist.

PEAP with Intel Centrino

Hi
I have a Toughbook from Pansonic. We use want to use peap with acs and ap 1200. with cisco cards everything works. on the nb we use windows 2k NOT XP with the 802.1x patch from ms. and the latest intel pro set 7.1.1 there you can configure PEAP click on the right ca and enter the MSCHAP2 username and password. but it doesnt work. when i just enter static wep 111111 as a profil in the intel pro and configure peap on the OS (2k) with the patch it works. I have also configured LEAP with the Intel pro and that works fine. but not peap. i have also entered the roaming identity as the AD username. if i dont enter anything there i can see on the radius debug on the ap that the username is the mac of the intel centrino card.
does anybody have same issues? whats the solution, dont use intel pro set? =:-)
regards Bernhard

Hello,
I use PEAP with WIN2K (SP4)and Centrino INTEL 2100 B card.
You must install the PEAP supplicant from Cisco ACU
version 6.2. Then can you use Intel ProSet, but you must select "PEAP".
The authentication works fine , but I get never a DHCP address. If I use a Cisco PCMCIA card 350 it works fine.The different in both situation is, in case of use INTEL card, the broadcast flag is set to 1 in the Discover message.

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook and Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WiFi Card

I've got a dv7tqe (Quad Edition HP Pavilion dv7), part #XW397AV, notebook computer. On page 8 of the manual, it says that the
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 wifi card is compatible with this laptop. However, upon further research online from many sources, including suppliers, it appears that this wifi card is not compatible due to HP's whitelist in the BIOS.
I'd like to know from an HP representative whether this card is truly compatible (it's not listed on PartSurfer for this laptop).
I'd also like to know why HP feels the need for a whitelist for wifi cards. Is it to force your customers to pay your exhorbitant markups for replacement parts?
I'd really like the answers to these questions. If it's not compatible, then it shouldn't be listed in the manual.
I'm also posting this as a warning to potential future HP customers that these types of inconsistencies as well as gouging their customers for replacement parts is commonplace for HP products.

Hi:
This is a consumer to consumer forum.
You will not receive any answers to your questions from anyone speaking on behalf of the company (HP).
It is more complicated than the wireless cards having to be listed in the service manual as supported.
1. They must also have the HP part # on them, or they will not work.
2. There are a few cards listed in the service manuals that have the wrong part numbers, and no one knows the right part number.
So, when you think you have the right part number, you sometimes get the wrong card which may or may not work. It just so happens that the Intel 6230 is one of those cards which no one can seem to find the right part # for.
Therefore, changing a wireless card in any HP notebook--especially a consumer model like yours is nothing short of a nightmare.
3. No one has an answer for the whitelist issue. If you want to believe that it is to force customers to pay exorbitant markups for replacement parts, that is certainly your prerogative.
If you don't want to pay HP's prices, do what I do and go on eBay and query your search by the HP part number and get a used but tested and working wireless card for pennies on the dollar.

Z87I - Windows 8 and Intel Centrino 2230 Bluetooth problem

Hi MSI!
This is my first message on the forum, and unfortunately it is about the problem i face (please forgive me if choose a wrong place to start this topic).
I have just bought and installed the new Z87I (itx) board in my HTPC, and it seams that i cannot activate a Bluetooth on the integrated Intel Centrino 2230 card.
I have installed Windows 8 Pro, as my OS of choice, and all the drivers from the disks i have received with the board.
WiFi is working great, but I don't know how to access the Bluetooth settings so that I can connect my Bluetooth keyboard and phone.
I have searched all over the internet for a possible solution, installed the new drivers from Intel website (15.8.0.0 and 3.0.1304) but I cannot find anything related with Bluetooth in windows settings (control panel, intel proset/wireless tools or in device manager). There are settings for WiFi, but nothing for Bluetooth.
While I was looking in Device Manager, in Network adapters, I saw that Intel Centrino 2230 is recognised, and working proprly (even the Bluetooth AMP is set as Enable).
Has anybody had similar issues with this card and Bluetooth settings??

Iwp firmware issues with Intel Centrino Ultimate 6300

On a clean install of Solaris 11.1 I am attempting to get the wifi adapter in my Thinkpad W530 to work, however I come across some problems
On boot i get warnings such as this :
WARNING: iwp_load_init_firmware(): timeout waiting for init uCode load.
dladm displays the device, but it is shown as "down".
Any suggestions on how to possibly solve this problem would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for the kind comments regarding the router. I like to update my router every couple of years just to make certain I have the fastest available. Thanks for the tip about the new firmware.
I have the real Centrino 6300 Ultimate-N now. I had read about the 7260 as a replacement but I have a few concerns. First, I don't have Haswell in that notebook, and I am not sure the 7260 is compatible because it was designed for a newer CPU and chipset. Second, my wife's notebook is probably 50 feet from the router and the 7260, from what I have read, only uses two antennas and not three. I would be sacrificing one antenna for a chip which may not be any faster or even as reliable. Third, I don't know how difficult it is to replace the wireless card in a notebook.
Perhaps this is one of these situations where doing nothing is the best response.

X201 wireless adapter : Thinkpad vs intel centrino?

Hi- I am going to purchase a X201 laptop- but am confused about the wireless adapter option. There is the thinkpad bgn and then intel centrino wireless, advanced and ultimate "n" . The help buttons are of no help. Under what circumstances would I need to opt for one of the intel centrino adaptes? Are they faster or more compatible?

Well I'm not and expert, but in a nutshell, with the right antenna setup and router/access point for each, you get speeds up to:
• ThinkPad Wireless BGN
• Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 BGN
• Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200 AGN
• Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300 AGN
• Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 AGN
ThinkPad Wireless BGN: 150Mpbs transmit/300Mbps receive (Realtek-based last I heard).
Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 BGN: 150Mbps transmit/300Mbps receive.
Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200 AGN: 300Mbps transmit and receive.
Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300 AGN: 450Mbps transmit and receive.
Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 AGN: Adds WiMAX.
These are theoretical maximum speeds and of course the real world rate is lower and ymwv.

Wireless Lan - Intel Centrino

Hi,
I have had the chance to browse through solaris-x86.org, and it seems like Sun is developing the Intel Centrino Lan (Intel Pro Wireless 2100) drivers for Solaris.
Being a straight foward Solaris user for almost 2 years, and that I'm getting a little out of touch with Linux - Only because I actually know how to use Solaris pretty well and can play with is easily - would anybody have any chance of knowing when the Solaris 9 or 10's driver of the Intel's Wireless Lan miniPCI would be available?
It would be awesome to have a driver for this on Solaris - which then would mean that i can always get rid of my Windows XP from my laptop - which i have for all my desktops...:p
Anyway, thanks for your help.
- Frank

Hi Frank,
You can find the driver at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/downloads/

Well I installed the ipw2200 package and followed the instructions @ ipw2200.sf.net(except I did not download the firmware, because the package already contained the firmware). It does not seem to work, however. iwconfig returns this:

Unfortunately I cannot confirm it doesn't work, because I only have wireless acces at my university. The information given by iwconfig does not seem to be correct, however. I have an Intel 2200BG that is 802.11G compliant. I do not have a sitecom. Could anyone help me with this or should a open a new thread @ kernel/hardware

Intel Centrino Advanced–N + WiMAX 6250 hardware compatible with Verizon 4G LTE?

Hello all,
Can an existing Intel internal (laptop) card be used to connect (with necessary VZ software) to the Verizon 4G network WITHOUT ADDED HARDWARE? (USB modem or internal card)
My feeling is that the two are incompatible, but I do not know with any certainty.
Solid answers are appreciated. Thanks.

To; NVRambo, toughbook, & M91-30....thanks ya'll for your help. I have received my new Dell computer and have learned the following: The wireless internet connection on my new computer works fine with my existing Verizon USB 720 modem and current Verizon plan. The Intel Centrino WIMAX 6250 is of no value without changing plans from Verizon to (Sprint? AT&T?). I have disabled the WIMAX feature on my new computer and will only use it in the future if I decide to change from my current ISP to another provider. As for whether my current USB 720 modem will work with the new Verizon 4G LTE, that is still an open question. As Rambo suggests, I SUSPECT that if I am interested in Verizon's 4G, I will have to purchase a new 4G modem, and sign up for a new 4G contract at whatever that enhanced feature price is. As for now, my internet connection seems to be working just fine but I obviously am enjoying no benefit from the WIMAX feature as it is currently disabled on my new computer. Thanks again for all your help. Ken

X60: written intel centrino duo, but the actual processor is genuine intel (R)

dear all,
I hope some will read this and have the answer. Well, i just realised that my X60 has not centrino duo processor as it is written in the laptop board. Then, I just happened to check it from dsdiax and found that my processor is genuine intel (R). Is that sticker on laptop's board really tell us about the processor inside the laptop or its just accessories? if someone has the answer, could u please let me know..
thanks

Welcome to the forum!
Every X60 has either a genuine Intel Core Duo, or a Core 2 Duo processor. Centrino is not a processor name, but a platform that incorporates several components, including processor and wireless card.
Download CPU-Z if you want to find out out more specifics about your ThinkPad.
Hope this helps.

Intel centrino advanced n6235 wifi not working only bluetooth

hello could anyone help me with this a bought a new wireless network card with bluetooth but only the bluetooth works and i have a dv7t pavillion cto 6b00 quad edition laptop could anyone please help me, i'll appreciate it , thank you

I don't find that strange at all. The wireless adapter that you chose to purchase ad install is simply not supported by the BIOS.
You do have options. As seen in the image there are two Realtek models for the notebooks in your model series with Intel CPUs that already have BIOS support.
You can install one of those.
What was the originally installed wireless adapter?
If your warranty period is over or warranty is not of a concern to you there is another thing you can do.
There are BIOS mod websites ( do a google search for BIOS mod). Find a site, become a member and request to have the Intel 6325 whitelisted in your current BIOS.
Did you upgrade to the latest BIOS?

erico

Solaris 10 install on Intel Centrino laptop

Greetings all:
Can someone tell me if it's possible to install Solaris 10 to a Intel Pentium M 730 processor with i915PM/GM/GMS chipset? I tried to install Linux FC4, but the network/wireless and USB won't work, so I'm thinking in installing Solaris 10 to my laptop. Is there any doc about installing to laptop (any FAQ or how-to?). I'm new to this so please bear with me.
Thanks in advance for your comments/suggestions.

Sorry, assumed you needed an even amount of equal dimm's, but this is not the case.
C-14 Sun Blade 100 Service Manual � October 2000:
The system has four DIMM slots on the motherboard. Because the memory data bus width is equal to the
DIMMs (64-bit data, plus 8-bit ECC) they can be installed one at a time and with mixed sizes.
Please also see notes:

Have looked for bugs in release notes and sun hardware, but found none related to your issue.
