Intel Pro wireless 3945ABG and WPA 2 Question

I see that Intel says this adapter is compatible with WPA2 but I can only find WPA support in the Lenovo driver download.  Without WPA2 AES I can't connect this laptop to many of the newer N wireless routers.  Has anyone found a driver that support WPA 2?
Solved!

Welcome to the forum!
I'm not sure I quite understand your dilemma...any Lenovo driver for this card will enable the type of encryption that you're looking for...typing this on a X60s with the exact same card and connected to the WPA-PSK network...
I'm using Windows to configure my networks, not Access Connections.

  • Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Crashes XP-Pro T61

    I recently updated my windows XP Pro SP2 version of windows to SP3. When I went to connect my wireless, it successfully connected, but then I got the BSOD suggesting I uninstall any recently installed h/w or s/w. Windows error reporting suggested a wireless adapter problem, and sure enough, as soon as I disabled the Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection adapter, the crashing stopped. So I went into device drivers, and attempted to update the driver, but was told that it was already updated.
    Then I went to Intel’s website and found a couple of updates, but they indicated:
    “The driver version of the following products will not update. The Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software version will be updated.
    Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection”
    So since I prefer to use the ThinkVantage Access connections, I decided to run ThinkVantage System Update, but got the message: “An error occurred while gathering user information.” So I was going to try the solution George had given me a few days ago to solve my “T42 will not connect to secure home wireless/ThinkVantage Access Connections Freezes” problem:
    Of downloading the latest version of System Update from here:
     http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS013489
    But I wasn’t sure that would work for my T61 Type 7665-CTO s/n **-***** 08/05. Product ID 7665WZK.

    'afternoon.
    first, you should edit your post to remove your serial number.
    next, the version of TVSU you linked is correct for your XP machine. the version for win7 was just updated to v5.
    finally, if you want to bypass TVSU, for now, you can get any drivers for your PC from the driver matrix here:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-67853
    looks like the WLAN driver pack you could use is v14.03.000 available here:

  • Unable to autoconnect to Wifi network after installing Windows update 8.1 - Toshiba Satellite - Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG-netwerkverbinding

    Hello, got a problem connecting to my wifi: every time I start up my Laptop (5 year old Toshiba Satellite L300) the wificonnections are listed but windows is unable to connect to the WIFI. Wificonnection states unable to connect, after running Windows Network
    Control the issue is found en the WIFI connects correctly. 
    I need to run the troubleshooter every time after staring up windows in order to get my wifi running, this is rather annoying..
    Does anybody have a solution? I downloaded and installed the latest driver from intel, and also tried to enter below without any improvement.
    netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
    netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
     see below error report:

    Hi,
    With the google translate, It seems that you are facing with the following problem:
    A network cable is not connected correctly or may be damaged
    Problem with wireless adapter or access point
    For this issue, I suggest you try the following steps:
    Try with another account, or test with another system, another cable.
    Reinstall network adapter.
    Open  Device Manager then Network Adaptors, find the wireless NIC and choose properties then open the power management tab and uncheck the one that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
    Test this issue in safe mode with networking
    Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode)
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode
    Does this work? and I would be appreciate if you could update the diagnostics with English.
    Regards,
    Yolandac

  • Update Intel Pro Wireless driver

    I am trying to update my Intel PRO/Wireless through the Intel main site.
    I downloaded the driver and while trying to install it there is two exe. files there
    *1- dpinst32.exe*
    *2- iProDifx.exe*
    My question is: Which one to install from the above? And if both which one first pls?
    Thank you

    Hi!
    Is there no setup.exe or install.exe?
    But I think you must start the dpinst32.exe file.
    You can also install the driver manually. Go to the device manager => right click on the WLAN card => update driver
    Bye

  • T41 Intel Pro/Wireless 2100

     IPCONFIG reports that our T41 machine's wireless adapters are disconnected. Yet, the Intel Pro/wireless 2100 detects networks but fails to communicate and receive IP addresses.  Intel reports no longer supporting the cards or providing driver updates, which implicates either a WINXP update or an update to our wireless network.  Are there any Intel Pro/wireless 2100 drivers and/or WINXP communiations updates/patches that will permit the T41 to communicate and receive an IP address from the newer faster networks? 
    Solved!

    Welcome to the forum!
    I would strongly suggest upgrading to a newer card, such as Intel 2200BG, Intel 2915ABG or IBM/Atheros b/g or a/b/g

  • First time user trying to set up new Mac pro, wireless mouse and wireless keyboard together?

    So  I just bought a new Mac Pro, wireless keyboard and mouse. i am a first time Mac user. How do I even get started......connect the wireless mouse and key board to the Mac Pro desktop to even get started??

    Just turn on the mouse and keyboard and observe that the green light comes on and starts to blink then turn on the Mac. The Mac should give you on-screen instructions.

  • Intel Pro Wireless misbehaving - very slow internet

    I have a problem with the Intel Pro Wireless card in my T60.  When I try to use the internet, it is incredibly slow (about 9 kbps download), even though I have broadband.  I have found a temporary fix for the problem.  In Device Manager, under the Intel Pro driver properties, I noticed that the power management for the wireless card is all the way down.  By increasing the power, my internet problem is fixed.  However, every time I restart the computer, the same thing happens again.  How can I fix this long term?

  • After Intel Pro Wireless 2200 BG software/driver upgrade cant authenticate to WRT310N

    I was having connection issues (solid connection at first then weak to poor connection downloads on the internet started good but degraded - after reading the forums here it seems likely heat related as router is very HOT), so I decided to try upgrading the Intel Pro 2200 BG software for the driver and program.  Upgrade was to version 12.0.4.0 version and driver was upgraded to 9.0.4.39 version.  Now when I try to connect to the WRT310N router via the Intel software it cant get past the authentication (I use WPA2 - Personal (AES-CCMP) ), the message I see is "Authentication process to connect to the network has not started".  Even completely removed the Intel software and reinstalled no dice, can connect to other non secure routers, just cant get my connection to work.
    Now the odd thing is that I can connect no problem with the Windows Wireless manager but not with the Intel software.  I know I could just use the Windows but kind of got use to the Intel and like that better.  Passphrase is correct, so I dont know what the heck is causing this.  Any ideas?  Anyone having the same issue?

    OK last update, tried again when I got home nada, got Windows Wireless connection setup and connected fine.  Prior to that I took off all the wireless security from the router and the Intel connected fine with no security (actually restored router to default as well) soon as I enable WPA TPIK Intel cant connect.  I wonder if somehow it got corrupted and cant relay the passphrase correctly for some reason.
    The other odd thing that I see is when trying to repair the Intel softward (add/remove, click on proggy and select "repair") it tries to repair but then stops as it cannot locate the Intel PROSet Wireless.msi file and I searched my entire HDD and cant find the file so I am just ripping the whole program out and going to stick with the Windows Wireless manager for now.

  • Intel pro wireless card can not connect

    Since some weeks, i can not use my wireless network, it does not associate the access point.
    The cared is a intel pro, using the agn driver.
    I can not connect to my wep key protected home network, or public, unprotected accesspoints.
    I tried various parameters with iwconfig, without success, so I assume the kernel module is broken.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Rather than blaming devs for putting out faulty software, if I were you I'd look at myself - the PEBKAC problem . So an upgrade broke it. When was this? What packages where upgraded? Check your pacman log (yes, it exists).
    You are aware the module name for Intel's wireless cards changed? Instead of referring to the card model it's now iwlcore and iwlagn. But then again, if you let udev figure it out, there shouldn't be the slightest problem in that upgrade.
    Care to share any of your cherished errors? Without them there's not much we can do. The BBS has been out of crystal bowls for a long time.
    Dear mr. B, I do not blame anybody anything. I report, as is, it does not work. On my system, in the hope that someone have something meaningful to say, not because I hoped for you to call me names. I do not know what your acronym means, and I do not wish to find out, since it appearently is there to make me less. I do not care for that.
    The kernel modules that are loaded on my system, and was back when I had working wifi support, are iwlcore and iwlagn. I do not know that the iwlwifi-4965-ucode package is used for anything, I installed it because the before-mentioned wiki page recommends that, and I did get working support. I do not try to configure it by hand, I trust udev/hal/whatever is there to handle the hardware.
    But, sorry for repeating, since some time, I can not connect to an access point. No matter if I try cli commands or use wicd or networkmanager applets. The result appears to be the same, there is no error from iwconfig, which does not succeed.
    I can't even remember the date it went wrong, but i know that the kernel was updated as a part of that particular update. rolling back the kernel did not help though.

    Unless you're using wpa, then you might need the new version.  ipw2200 and madwifi seem to anyway.  Sync your abs and edit the pkgbuild for base/wireless_tools.  Delete every instance of pre9, run makepkg, and install.  Hopefully the devs will update the package soon in the repos.

  • Wireless router and beige G3 question (OS 8.6 or 9?)

    I've purchased a Netgear 54 mbps wireless router to network my Macs. For now, the G4 tower and the 266 beige G3 are going to be connected through two of the hardwired ports until I can get an Airport card for the G4. The G4 is running Panther 10.3.9 and connects via built-in Ethernet. The beige is running OS 8.6 and connects via an Ethernet PCI card (the built-in port is dead). The third machine is a laptop with an Airport card.
    Should I upgrade the G3 to 9.2.2 before I set up the network or can I go ahead with things as they are now?
    G3 beige (OS 8.6), G4 Sawtooth (OS 10.3.9), TiBook (OS 9.2.2 and OS 10), G5   Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier  

    don't like being different, but on a 266MHz G3 with maybe limited memory, OS8.6 will still fly, OS9.2 starts to slow down on certain tasks.
    IMHO, OS8.6 was as good as it ever got for a stable and secure Mac OS.
    But you may find the update to OS9, with IE v5 and QuickTime v5 may just be worth the slowdown. Depends what you're going to use it for, I removed OS9 on my old iMac 233MHz and put OS8.6 back on. It does everything I want it to, fast.

    The beige is running OS 8.6
    Should I upgrade the G3 to 9.2.2 before I set up the
    network or can I go ahead with things as they are
    now?
    You should be able to go ahead now and see how it works, the OS 8.6 G3 should be able to connect to the internet, mount any shared drives from the other network Macs, and print to any shared printers (may require OS 8.6 drivers on the G3) on the other Macs. This would be useful for backing up the G3 harddrive to another Mac's larger HD and then burning to CD/DVD media, if your G3 has only the stock CD-ROM drive. If you find that something doesn't meet your needs, then you can upgrade the G3 to OS 9 later, but it should operate on the network just fine with 8.6, although I haven't used OS 8 myself in quite a while, so I could be totally wrong.
    From memory, I think I had at one time networked a Performa 5200 with 8.1 and my G3 running 10.2, so I'm not sure if there are any major differences that might cause difficulties between 8.6 and 10.3.
    What is your planned usage of the G3 on the network?

  • [SOLVED] PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

    Since the long time ago kernel update and ndiswrapper threads, I didn't get my wireless to work..... laptop wireless light not turning on. It works fine with Linux Mint live CD, not a hardware issue. I tried all the solutions in the forums and wiki, seems I am missing something. In my Linux years, I never configured wireless. What are the steps?

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless
    IPW3945 is well supported. Shouldn't be any problem at all - you need wpa_supplicant, wireless_tools etc. installed (I assume you already have a DHCP client).
    Check dmesg output for pointers, if your drivers are loaded, check with rfkill to see if it's a software block (and also make sure you don't have a hardware switch you need to flip).

  • Intel PRO/Wireless Protected Connectioon

    I've been using my security connection after help from users on this forum. When I display what connections are configured, I see the secure connection and a second non-secured connection with the same name. If I exclude the non-secure connection, the next time I boot my system and wait for the wireless connection to connect, it does not until I enable the un-secured connection. Why?

    hi....this may happen if u have a "wireless profile" defined on your PC....to verify ...got to the control panel and then to network connections.....right click on the wireless network connection and select properties.....click on the "wireless network" tab, and under "preferred netrwork" check if your SSID has been specified .....select and remove....retart your PC and see what happens.

  • Windows 7 Driver for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG

    Hi,
    I've upgraded my MotionComputing LE1600 Tablet from Vista Business to Windows 7. A relatively seemless process and a more efficient OS. However, I need the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG driver for my WiFi card or maybe even a generic one? Anyway have a suggestions?
    Thanks,
    j

    I have a DELL Lattitude D830 with the Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN. I upgraded from Vista Business 32bit and all of the netwrok connections (wired and wireless) went out. The wireless told me I had an invalid IP configuration and that I could connect locally, but not internet. Looked like a DHCP issue - couldn't get a valid IP configuration, coudn't specify static IP information.
    I tried *everything* to get the network to work. Luckily, I stumbled across this post. If you aren't familiar with it (I wasn't), in order to install in Vista Compatibility mode, right-click on the .msi and choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility", then choose Vista from the list of OSs. I DID get the latest drivers, both from Dell and Intel (The one that I installed was from Dell, haven't tried the Intel version which is slightly newer under this process). You may have to get the newest version to get it working - not sure.
