Intel centrino ultimate n 6300

Hello
I have a "intel centrino ultimate n 6300" wifi card.
I have modified my bios, because it was not allowed in the standard version.
The next problem is that I can not activate the card. The hardware button stays orange. I do not get this resolved, can anyone help me?
thanks
bios version: F1.B
laptop: pavillion dv6-6040eb

I am not sure if you have installed the necessary drivers and software of the wifi card. Refer the following weblink and try installing the necessary drivers and software:

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 Card not detectable (Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN) (Windows 7 64 bit)

Hey!
I have a slight problem here.
We have 5 machines that got shipped with Windows 7 32 bit versions for two weeks ago, I tested all of them to make sure nothing was defect or such things but everything was fine (The wireless network card was clearly visible in device manager).
For two days ago, we recived recovery discs to upgrade these machines to 64 bit versions.
After installing it on 2 computers that was previously 32 bit versions, I am not able to detect the wireless network card anymore.
I have used System Update to try and find it but to no avail.
The card itself is not even detected by Device Manager (No unkown device or anything either, it have simply dissapeared).
I do know the card is present there so I downloaded two different drivers (1 from Lenovo homepage and another one from a driver update tool) (13.1.1.1 and 13.2.0.30).
I made a manual search and installed the drivers and the card itself by using "Add Legacy hardware" in device manager and picked the card.
It is now detectable in Device Manager but with following error code:
"The device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device (Code 31).
I have tested both versions but same error code persists, System Update won't help either since it says that there are no new updates for this machine (same thing with Windows Update).
The card was functioning properly in 32 bit version but decided to crap out when upgrading to 64 bit, have there been frequent problems regarding wireless networking with 64 bit?

We have the same problem with 6 new X201 machines preloaded with Win 7 32bit
After reloading the X201 with the Win 7 64bit recovery media the wireless network card disappears.
You learn to disassemble the laptop quickly to get to the CMOS battery because thats the olution I found
Disconnect the CMOS battery to reset BIOS settings completely and the network card appears in windows again.
Even when we tried the same recovery media on a T500 to test it, the same happened. The CMOS battery solution got the WLAN card working again.
I have reported this to Lenovo but havent heard from them yet.

X201 w/ Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 Stops Working at Random

About once a day, the wireless on my X201 stops working all of a sudden. I have tried updating the software, BIOS, etc, but still it continues.
I have Win 7 Professional 64.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

I'm seeing the same thing.
I've noticed that it seems to happen after a lot of activity. I tried copying a ton of files, and it seems to choke partway through. I don't know if it is after so many bytes have been transferred, or after a certain time. It only seems to happen when I'm not actively using the computer. Maybe a timeout setting of some kind?

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.

N6300 Centrino Ultimate Wont join any wireless network

I just bought an Intel Centrino Ultimate N6300 wireless card and installed it on my W520 ThinkPad. Its working fine and I can discover all the wireless networks surrounding me that are 2.4 and 5 GHz. The only problem I faces is that it won’t join any wireless network at all. I have 2 wireless modems and I tried to create a hotspot using my iPhone and still no luck at all. Every time the computer will try to connect and will ask me for my Wi-Fi password and then will try to connect until it says can’t connect to network. I tried updating the driver but it was up to date, I also tried deleting the driver and install it all over again but still no luck. I'm currently running Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit on my machine.
Can anyone please tell me if they know how to fix it?

Click on the START button, enter "network connections" (without quotes) in the "search programs and files" area. Press ENTER. This will produce the "Network Connections" window, and your wireless network should show up there as an object.
Select that network object, right-click, select DISABLE. Let it stabilize for 15 seconds or so. You should see a red "X" over the wireless icon in the System Tray notification area.
After a bit, right-click again and this time select ENABLE. Again, let it stabilize. The red "X" should go away and the wireless icon should reappear, and you may once again be prompted to enter your password for the connection.
Does it get recognized successfully now?
You can also try right-clicking on that network object and select "diagnose". See if Windows can figure out what's wrong and correct it. You might be prompted to designate whether this network is home, work, or public, and presumably you'd select "home".
Also, another thing might be that you need to specify whether this new wireless network is home, work, or public.
Again, click on the START button, enter "network and sharing" in the "search programs and files" field. Press ENTER. This will produce the Network and Sharing Center window.
What is shown in the graphic? Is your new wireless network presented??
You can try either "set up a new connection or network" or "connect to a network", and follow the dialog wizard.
Again, you eventually want to be presented with the window that asks you to pick home, work, or public network, and then you know you've finally got it working.

Why can't I install the Intel Ultimate-N 6300 wifi card in dv7-6195us?

I attempted to install an Intel Ultimate-N 6300 a/b/g/n wireless card in my new dv7-6195us and when booting, BIOS states the card is not supported and to remove the card and reboot the system. Is there a reason I cannot install this card? What wireless a/b/g/n cards does this system support?

X220 4286CTO Centrino Ultimate 6300

Good day All,
I recently got my X220 4286CTO,with the following relevant specs for my question.
12.5" Premium HD (1366x768) LED Backlit Display, IPS, Mobile Broadband Ready, 3x3 Antenna, No Camera
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN
BIOS: 1.28
I have a 450mbs capable router and would like to swap the intel 6205 card for an Intel Centrion 6300 card (which was not an available choice upon customizing). My uncertaintiy is that I'm not sure if it is compatible., I have read mixed responses on many forums. I would only assume it would be as the 3x3 as per the 3x3 confiuration of the screen. I really would not want to flash BIOS with a haked version to remove a whitelist restriction.
Solved!

I am running a 6300 WiFi card in my 4286-CTO (which was configured at purchase time), so as long as you have a Lenovo supplied 6300 card, you shouldn't have any problems.

Intel Ultimate-N 6300 does not work with W520?

I ordered my new W520 to replace my existing laptop, since my current laptop already had an INtel Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card I just ordered the W520 with the base wifi card with the intent of swapping the cards once the new laptop arrived. So, it arrived and I did the swap and was not even able to get past post. I get the dreaded message below.
I was left with no choice but to pull out the card and put the original one back in. What is really confusing to me is that I was under the impression that the Ultimate-N 6300 was one of the supported cards. It makes no sense to me that it does not work. Is there something else I need to do? At this point I am just wishing that I had ordered the laptop with the Ultimate-N already installed. Sigh.......
1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.

You will have the same problem with that card from NewEgg If it hasn't been sprinkled with Lenovo pixie dust, it won't pass the white-list.
From the maintenance manual, it looks like the FRU # for that card w/Lenovo branding is 60Y3233. The Google says that it's as much as $150 or so from Lenovo, down to $35 on eBay - and everywhere in between for refurbs.
Just make sure it's a 60Y3233, not the generic 6300.

Hi,
Not many laptops support 3 wireless antennas and wireless cards like the Ultimate-N 6300. I have the card myself on Dv6 but it's the 1st generation of the Core i7 processors and also modding the BIOS was necessary to make the card compatible with the laptop. Intel 6150 and 6230 are compatible with the Dv6-6000 Intel based series laptops but the Ultimate-N 6300 not.

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??

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/
