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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • FIRMWARE ISSUES WITH CREATIVE ZEN V P

    What is going on?!?!!
    Just about every other thread i've read on here somebody has my same problem:
    ) My Zen V Plus was not recognized by my computer and it was always stuck on "rebuilding library" when i turned it on but when it got halfway through, it stopped, and all the music i already had on it was inaccesible.
    2) I tried reformating, cleaning up, and, when i tried reloading the firmware,? my player became completely useless!!!!!
    Trust me guys, i tried everything else that was suggested on the threads prior to 3/3/08, i even e-mailed someone from CREATIVE,?but when i reloaded?the firmware, it was all over. To top it off, my warranty is no good anymore.
    But what surprises me more is the fact that so many have the same problem?and the?guys from CREATIVE still haven't figured out a solution.

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm not sure how i did it but i will explain as best as i can.
    Okay, my problem was that my player was not recognized by my computer when i plugged it in, yet my player was in recovery mode when i plugged it in.
    So i went to the RECOVERY TOOL on this website. Like the previous times, it said my player wasn't plugged in. At that moment, i quickly unplugged my player and reformatted it, but while it was formatting itself i plugged it back in, while the RECOVERY TOOL was waiting for my player.
    Suddenly my Windows Explorer prompted me to choose if i wanted to sync it with windows media player or to just open the files it contained. I WAS SO SURPRISED! But was even more surprising was that the RECOVERY TOOL finally recognized it and i inmediatley updated my firmware...
    So there you have it guys, if you're having trouble like i was, just unplug your player when using the RECOVERY TOOL, start FORMATTING it and while it's formatting, quickly plug it back in.
    I hope this helps and thanks? for all of your tips and information.
    NOTE: my sync manager still didn't recognize the player but i think it has something to do with software compatability issues with Vista, even though it worked the first time when bought my player. But my Windows Media Player works just fine with it. :smileyvery-happy::smileyvery-happy::smileyvery-happy::smileyvery-happy:

  • Windows 8.1 Data reordering issue with Intel Adaptors

    According to Intel, there is a data reordering issue with their adaptors and probably this dumb WIDI software. This is from Intel site. they say some are fixed, "A future Windows 8 fix will address this issue for other Intel wireless adapters." I
    have one Nope, still broke. I get drops all the time. Brand new Toshiba laptop I7 16 gigs of ram and a SSD and a 2 gig Vid card. Would be nice to be able to play games but I get dropped all the time. Now would Microsoft quit hiding
    about this, and fix the darn thing. Also i'm a system admin for 13 years. I have build over 1000 PCs and servers. I know bad software. Please fix this. PLEASE. Its not going to just go away and its not just Toshiba, I have seen other companies with the
    same problem. If there is a Fix PLEASE POST IT. Or even a workaround I have tried everything.

    Yep didn't work. Still get drops all the time, had to run a Cat 5E cable to my laptop from my modem, because I have Atheros Gigabyte Lan adaptor. Works Great. The Wireless still drops all the time. Has Microsoft let out the patch to fix this or is it coming in
    April in the 8.1 patch that's coming. Funny thing is all for Widi, I don't even use widi, I got the software to do that from Samsung works better on my TV. Intel and Microsoft need to get this fixed. because their driving off gamers and that's the
    people that make sure they buy Microsoft so they can play games. With the wireless link dead and a great laptop worthless what's the point. Ive been in IT for 13 years building PCs  and Servers how I knew how to run a 60 FT Cat 5e line thru
    a 2 story house and terminate it. Most people don't. Fix the problem.  

  • SERIOUS lag issues with Intel iMac

    Hello everyone,
    I'm pretty frustrated right now. I've been having this serious lag issue with my new iMac for the past few days. I think it may have started after I ran the last security update.
    What happens:
    When switching between apps, the system will hang for 1-3 seconds between doing anything. This includes typing, mouse requests, etc. It's VERY frustrating. I have activity monitor open currently, and I am seeing both Safari and SystemUIServer hogging up the CPU resources like CRAZY. I've even seen Safari recently give a CPU usage of 120%, right before I loaded this webpage. tis isn't just centralized to Safari too.... I have the following apps running:
    Adium 0.89.1
    FoireFox 1.5.0.8
    Safari
    Activity Monitor
    My Memory stats currently are:
    175MB Wired
    708MB Active
    618MB Inactive
    1.47GB Used
    There should be no reason I'm getting these lags with just two web browsers and a chat client open.
    Has anyone else expierenced the lags?? Any suggestions? I'm almost ready to reinstall OS X and not run the last security update. Thanks

    Hello Matthew
    Are you running any maintenance scripts on a regular basis?
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
    I would manually run this script from The X Lab, and my load times would improve greatly. The problem was, I would forget to run them untill I noticed web pages loading slow or iTunes and iPhoto taking for ever. It wasn't untill someone here in discussions suggested Anacron that I saw the light. WOW what a difference Anacron has been making in my overall system speed. My iMac has not been shutdown for 11days 5hrs 34mins (sleep or use only) and opening new App's, switching App's and web pages load as fast or faster than after a fresh start up. If your system is operating properly and you are having only what seems to be a slow or sluggish issue Anacron will make a difference.

  • App-V 5 SP2 install issue with Intel NIC Driver 11.16.96.0

    When deploying App-V 5 SP2 using SCCM 2007 it will install with no problem on the machine.  However, when the user reboots after the install the machine will blue screen.  The user then reboots again and machine comes up to the desktop.  However,
    the App-V service is not running and is still set to automatic.
    Looking at the Blue Screen dmp file the common theme looks to be a conflict with an Intel NIC driver version 11.16.96.0.  Machines running an older version of the driver do not experience the issue with the blue screen after reboot and the App-V service
    starts with no issues.
    Has anyone seen this issue before?

    Version 19 appears to be the latest: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=18713&lang=eng&ProdId=3025
    Have you tested with this version instead?

  • Inherent ground Loop/audio hum issue with Intel Core 2 duo?

    Has this ever been resolved? I can't find a definitive solution:
    We're a recording studio and have put a 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo,
    667Mhz running OSX 10.4.11 into service for a second workstation.
    The audio I/O device is an Apogee Duet Firewire audio interface.
    The Mac delivers a continuous 60 hz hum to the audio signal on the
    output.
    Tried a ground lift which did not resolve it at all.
    Audio is clean on the headphone-out of the interface btw.
    Based on searches, discovered this is a known/reported issue with
    a number of Mac models - tho i've not found specific fix for this
    particular model if any exists.
    Apparently a Mac defect. Any suggestions?
    We are a pro audio facility and things like cables and external devices
    have been tested and ruled out. All definitely points to an internal
    issue w/ the machine.
    There are numerous old threads about CHUD developer tools(?)
    But, NO version I've downloaded (i think we installed/deinstalled
    'em all) has offered this "Nap" processor-adjustment option that is talked
    about as having "fixed" this hum issue for MDD G4 and Intel G5 model users.
    Love to hear from anyone who can help on this...Hate to have to dump a nice
    Imac for this. (Everything's perfectly quiet about it except the audio out -
    that kinda blows ; (

    Hi, checking back in on this. OK, running a Macbook in place of the IMac with the same Apogee Duet firewire audio interface, the hum is not apparent on the output.
    The iMac has a ground lift. All suggests that this is a known internal intel iMac problem and hope any fellow users could give me some idea of how to correct it before I must relegate this one from studio to office use. (we simply have to have clean hum-free audio monitoring...don't think that's asking too much eh?)
    Again, there've been posts going back over the years about some form of developer tool adjustment that enables putting intel machine processors into a "Nap" mode.
    Is there a version of the CHUD tools that will offer this option on this model?
    (intel 2.16 core duo - 10.4.11)
    Thanks for any other ideas

  • [UNSOLVED] Graphics Card Issues with Intel 945GSE

    I have several issues and im not sure if they are related to the same reason. But I think it all has to do with my graphics card not being detected right.
    I have a Samsung N310 with 1,6 Ghz and 2Gb RAM and am using Gnome. If i go to "System settings --> System information" it shows me "Graphics: unknown".
    Since my new installation i dont have an xorg.conf anymore, and i did not experience any disadvantages yet, but before my graphics card was detected as following in the xorg.conf:
    "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)"
    In the Gnome System information it was not listed though, like now.
    This is not really a problem, but it made me think that my other issues could be related to the card being not detected right.
    Here are my real problems:
    When i am watching a video on my external monitor i have slight lags, which are really annoying to me,
    because im a big fan of a good picture!
    It is explicitly visible during pan shots or when cars a moving from the one side of the picture to the other.
    And the larger the file is, the worse it gets... The lag with dvds or large mkv-files is even worse and not watchable anymore!
    My machine should be capable of running a film on fullscreen on an external monitor though, at least it does under XP on the same screen. Flawlessly!! And since arch is a minimal system, it should work! I am experiencing these problems with gnome2 and xfce as well, so it cant be related to gnome3!
    Im also experiencing lags with the Gnome shell, for example when i move my mouse to the activities button in the upper-left corner or when i am moving windows with the mouse.
    And last but not least firefox is very laggy while scrolling. But since even users with faster machines experience slight problems of that matter with firefox, i dont think that this problem is related to my card.
    I could stand the issues with the Gnome shell and firefox, but i at least want to be able to watch a film with my computer!
    I hope that my computer isnt simply to slow...

    HAHA!! The trick was not to enable VSync but to disable it!
    I just changed the SwapBuffersWait Option to "false".
    I have around 300 FPS now and my video lag problem is GONE!!! Thanks for the tips! I will mark this solved now!
    Well, that's a surprise for me.  I had to enable VSync to stop video tearing with my Intel HD 3000 GPU (Sandy Bridge).
    From the Intel xorg driver man page:
    Option "SwapbuffersWait" "boolean"
            This option controls the behavior of glXSwapBuffers and glXCopySubBufferMESA calls by GL
            applications. If enabled, the calls will avoid tearing by making sure the display scanline is
            outside of the area to be copied before the copy occurs. If disabled, no scanline
            synchronization is performed, meaning tearing will likely occur. Note that when enabled, this
            option can adversely affect the framerate of applications that render frames at less than
            refresh rate.
    Default: enabled.
    Glad you got it sorted!

  • Issues with intel graphics

    Hello everybody.
    I recently installed arch on my new laptop (lenovo z460, core i3, intel graphics), and I'm facing issues with graphics: every time I execute some 3D application the X is crashing.
    I use kde4 as window manager, but did a test on gnome and faced the same issue there, so it does not look like a WM issue.
    The applications I tested so far are the video players using gl as video output and games like openarena. Video players using xv as video output with composite disabled runs well.
    Searching on the forum, I saw an old post with an issue similar to mine, saying that this is an issue introduced in ligbl 7.4.2, but I cannot even downgrade to this version since I cannot find it anymore.
    One more information that may help, I did a try with arch 32 and 64 and faced issues on both, but I also tried on kubuntu 10.04 LTS and this issue does not happen there. Unfortunately I am not that experient to understand the differences and find a solution
    Do you guys have any ideas on how to fix this issue? I really don't wanna use kubuntu...
    Thanks

    Kubuntu likely has older versions of Xorg and the intel driver. If you look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log on both Arch and Kubuntu, it should be possible to find out which version works and which don't. You can then see if you can find the working version in the repositories.

  • Does anyone else have display issues with Intel X3100 graphics and OS X Lion?

    I took the screenshot below to demonstrate one issue I have had with graphics since upgrading to OS X Lion. I use a Late 2007 MacBook with 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo and the Intel X3100 graphics chipset. I have 4GB RAM. Had to reboot to get this to correct itself. The problem is the menubar (obvious) and the desktop image is missing, replaced by the grey.
    I have an external monitor connected (second image) and everything displays properly there.
    Some other issues I've noticed are using Mission Control sometimes yields unpredictable results, graphically speaking, and the fullscreen apps don't always allow me to see the menubar. These all seem graphically related. Is this a hardware or software problem? Any solutions?

    Here is another display issue with my machine...perhaps software rather than hardware? The icon for the rtf file "Matt Passages" is missing entirely. There is a faint rectangle present instead. The same file has an icon in the first image posted above. No change to the file since then. And two other RTFs have the icon! Odd things with Lion.

  • AirPort Disk - Issue with Windows Vista Ultimate

    I setup an AirPort Extreme network, with a shared USB Drive and so far I've only found one issue.
    When attempting to create new files and renaming them, or rename pre-existing files on the shared USB Drive using Windows Vista Ultimate I get the following Yes/No dialog:
    "The Z:\ folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted. Do you want to create it?"
    Then there's information about the mapped drive. If I click "Yes" in the dialog, then the dialog goes away for a moment then pops back up. I can't create a new file directly on the shared AirPort Disk, nor can I modify or create and rename new files on the disk without getting stuck in the loop.
    I can, however, create a new file locally on the Vista box and copy it up, and I can even create a new directory locally with files and copy them up without issue.
    Now, the issue does not happen when I use my MacBook or my XP machine. This issues seems to be a Windows Vista issue only, and I haven't seen anyone else reporting it.
    Here's information about the disk share implementation:
    - The disk is password protected (turning on accounts really breaks the ability of Windows Vista to work with the disk)
    - The disk is Mac Formatted with Case Sensitivity, and Journaling
    This works like a top for OS X and Windows XP, just not Vista. I'd like to getting working properly for all machines.
    If anyone's got some advice on this one, I'd love to hear it.

    Here's a little more information regarding the issue:
    - It's an AirPort Extreme Wireless Router with Firmware ver. 7.1
    - The Windows Vista Ultimate PC has the most recent Microsoft patches to-date, and has the most recent Apple Airport Utilities Software to-date.
