Lion 10.7.1 upgrade WiFi card not detected

I am having a issue with my Mac Book Pro 15" purchased June 2009. I have upgraded to Lion when it was released. Everything was working perferctly fine. During last few days sometime it shows 'No hardware found" for wifi. After 2-3 times restart the wi-fi comes back. Sometime the it also gets hang. I think this is happening after 10.7.1 upgrade. I have not yet taken to Apple Store for support. If anyone having similar problem and if they have resolved, please post your findings. Thanks,

Apple, please sort this out ASAP.

Wifi card not detected with ifconfig (solved)

Hello,
I'm not sure wether I should post this here or not...
However, I'm using a Realtek Wifi card RTL8188CE on my laptop and I couldn't succeed in using it. (I'm using Arch x64, it's up-to-date).
I tried using ndiswrapper, but even when the ndiswrapper module is loaded and the driver properly created from the ".inf" file, ifconfig -a still doesn't display anything else than the usual "eth0" and "lo".
Here are the information I think are useful, please tell me if I forgot anything.

Hello,
I finally solved my problem. It turns out my driver existed on the AUR and all I had to do is load the corresponding module with modprobe.
Some useful links :

Upgrade Wifi Card in my Satellite Laptop Help.

So our cable/Internet guy come out to our house to fix the internet, when he was done he did a test on all the computers, all were fine accept this laptop. The wifi speed is only pulling in half of what all the others are, even if we hold it directly next to the router.
I want to upgrade the wifi card to something that can take more advantage of our high speed interent, but i have little experience with laptops. I have been building and repairing my families desktop PCs for years, so i do have some experience in this area though.
i did some reading on how to phisically replace the card, so i can probably handle that pretty well, my real problem is finding out what cards are compatable. I can't find any detailed enough specs to find this information, such as, does the wifi card in this laptop use a PCIE slot or something else? Are there different size cards i need ti look out for, and i read something about BIOS white liisting.
One article said some manufatcurers black/witelist some hardware, and i was told to check and see if i can find if this is so, and if i can find the list. I would apreciate any help with thiis issue, thanks.
Anyways, my laptop version is, Satellite Toshiba C875D-S7331

I would love to see that list also I replaced my card with an azurewave broadcom card mod BCM94352HMB I can now connect at 866 mbps on AC but have found no way to get bluetooth to work the different driver installs tell me to turn on the Bluetooth I could not find anything in the bios to enable. The card is a 802.11/ac/867Mbps WLAN+BT4.0 half mini PCI-E.
computer is a S855-S5254....Both win10TP and 8.1 installed the proper broadcom driver automatically but I have not figured out the BT yet. This card picks up wifi better than the realtek that was original. I have read a lot of complaints on the intel cards so I went this way.

Wifi card not recognized after reboot.

I've got a Lenovo X140e and an Intel wifi card. (Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260) that I installed myself, since the support for the Broadcom card it came with was spotty.
If I reboot my laptop, the card won't show up with either iwconfig or even lspci. If I do a cold reboot (power down entirely and start back up), it will show up just fine.
What gives?
Relevant lspci output:
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 4b)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 38
Memory at f1300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi

When the card is recognized, rfkill lists it as unblocked; when it's not recognized, it doesn't show up at all.
I've got i3 installed; for connection management I've been sort of trying different things - netctl never works but wifi-menu has been pretty reliable. I haven't installed any special power management stuff at all - I'm not really sure how to find out what was auto-installed?

Buffalo wifi card not useable

I purchased a Buffalo WLI-CB-G54A card for use with my 15" Apple PowerBook G4, 1.67 GHz with built in Airport Extreme for better range and the ability to use an external antenna. The pcmcia card states it's supported natively with AirPort 3.1 drivers and up. It uses the Broadcom chipset.
The problem comes when I plug it in. If I plugged it in before startup it will kernal panic and crash at the gray startup screen. If I plug it in after the system is up the two green LEDs glow faintly but the AirPort menu lists the networks visible on the built in airport. I can't figure out how to "switch" off the built in and instead use this new one.
How is a third-party wifi card used on a powerbook w/ built in wifi already?

I have NEVER been able to use a PC Card wireless adapter successfully in my PowerBook G4 1.25GHz not to mention I get exactly the same behaviour as you, kernel panics and all.
What seems to be the problem is that Mac OS X sees the Broadcom based card as another Airport card. Coupled with the fact that it won't let you use two Airport card concurrently it will sit there and do nothing.
The only solution that I have found to this is to remove the internal Airport card. Fortunately or me I have access to the card but I believe this is not possible with the 1.67GHz model.
Alternatively you can try using a card that does NOT use the Broadcom chipset so that it is not recognised as an Airport card. Obviously you would then need drivers to make the card work.

Lenovo yoga 213 wifi card not working in the new laptop

I purchaed lenovo yoga 213 from Best Buy Boston and have brought to India.From the day one,the Bluetooth and Wifi is not working.On taking to their authorised service centr-Hitech technologies they have tried to replace the wifi card but even they are not able to solve the problem.I am trying to contact Lenovo for replacement of Laptop,but there is no response from them.What should I do?

Lenovo service centre has done all these after getting a replacement card
from Lenovo and again they have reported that the wifi replacement card
recieved is defective ,so they have asked for 2 nd time replacement of
wificard as well as the touchpad which they say carries the antenna for
wifi.The bottom line is i am tired of running around to service centre and
have not been able to use the laptop from the time i have bought the
laptop.I thought if there is a manufacturing defect lenovo,being a reputed
brand will replace the laptop.

Wifi card not connected after kernel update [solved]

Hi,
I've got a broadcom wifi card (BCM43225). Having deconnections with the brcmsmac driver, I changed for wl (from broadcom archive).
Today I updated the system and got the b43 driver. My wifi card would'nt see any network. On the networkmanager applet (gnome 3), tab "network parameters", it says "disconnected" and i can't find a way of reconnect my card.
I rebuilt the wl driver, it works as for the b43 (wifi card on) but still it's disconnected.
Extract of dmesg shows:
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
Any idea ?
Thanks

It's weird: I had already installed b43 firmware from AUR but it didn't work (kernel 3.0). As I yaourted b43-firmware it said: "reinstall ?".
So I reinstalled and it f***ing works.
I'm not sure I got what happened...
Thank you though.

Tungsten E2: WiFi card "not supported"

I recently updated my Tungsten E2 with the most recent version of the WiFi software from the Palm Website. No problems with installation, but turning the WiFi on in my settings menu gives me an error message stating "The card in the SIDO slot is not a palmOne supported WiFi card." Pretty sure the card is a Palm card. Any ideas out there? I noticed a similar thread asking this question, but it was about 3 years ago, and no answers were received other than a suggestion to do a soft reset, which I did without success.
Thanks in advance for the help!!
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

I haven't read the instructions for installing the updated Wi-Fi card driver, but did you delete the old one first before installing the new one?
What I'd try next (only once you have a current backup via Hotsync) is a Hard Reset. BEFORE you Hotsync your stuff back to the E2, go through the diagnostic process of renaming the Backup folder on your desktop...this will allow your regular PIM data to return, but nothing else. Your Backup folder is located on this path:
(using Palm Desktop 4.x):
c > program files > palm (or palmone) > [your device folder, usually an abbreviation of your Palm's name, or perhaps a combination of your initials, etc.] > backup
(using Palm Desktop 6.2.2):
my documents > palm OS desktop > [your device folder] > backup
After you do this, go ahead and Hotsync. Then, reinstall ONLY the new Wi-Fi card driver. You should be able to just double-click on the .prc file from the renamed "backupold" folder. If it works, then reinstall your other apps one at a time. If it doesn't, then I dunno...maybe root around for the original driver and reinstall that? If you don't have the original disc, maybe you'll find it in the Backup or the Archive folder on your desktop.
Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Wifi card not working

Hi,
As of today my internal WiFi card in the iPad is not working anymore. The WiFi option in settings is grey and when looking into the "About" there is no WiFI MAC address (N/A). Is this a hardware problem or am I missing some sort of setting to enable the WiFi adapter?
Hope someone can help.
Bob

if you tried holding down the home and power button to reset the ipad
and you tried restoring the ipad
and non of those options work I would bring it in for service

Wifi card not working properly

I purchased an hp Envy in October 2014. The wifi card no longer functions properly. Connections are intermittent or so slow they don't function. Is this defect covered by warranty? The wifi card is Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11
As long as I'm hard wired, I have no internet connection issues. But dysfunctional wifi limits mobility and eliminates one of the primary features that I relied on in making the purchase choice. What is the solution?

GS70 2PE Stealth Pro Wifi Card Not Showing

Hi,
these weekend i used my laptop connect with lan card, and when i do that i disable my wifi card on the windows network panel, as i always do on weekends. Problem is that yesterday went back to the network panel and wifi doesn´t show. tried to enable and disable wifi through the SCM panel but still nothing, wifi card doesn't even show up on device manager.
Things i did this weekend was update the Bios to the latest on msi site and installed the vmware station to trie out windows 10.
anyone have any idea?
Cheers.

That isn't actually a reset hole it only cuts off the power from battery so if your etc gona do a change hard disk or something then you press in that button for it to cut off the electricity from the battery so motherboard has no power
I know what it does since samsung uses this type of thing as well on one or more models of theirs where battery is built in so you gota use pin and press this button that will cutt off the electricity to motherboard from battery.
Thanks for the input, Jakesully! The reason I brought this up was trying to give another thought as the problem was raised after BIOS update. And according to SOP provided by MSI, for some older models, they recommend removing both AC/DC power. Although I think it is just a long shot but it is no harm to give a try.

WiFi Adapter not detected on T530

Hi there, I just purchased a refurb T530 form the Lenovo outlet and have had enormous problems with the Wifi Adapter. Machine: T530 Win 64 Pro Wifi card Realtek I know there have been many similar discussions of this issue in the past, so I can start by eliminating certain possibilities based on previous posts.
1. The plug-in Ethernet functions fine.
2. Toggle power switch has been tried, as well as FN+F5, which generates a message about no supported wireless adapters being found.
3 WiFi card does not show up in the Device Manager (DM). There are no errors for other hardware components listed in the DM.
4. WiFi does not show up in the BIOS.
5. Lenovo support sent me a replacement WiFi card, but an Intel model, which immediately generated an error message upon bootup about a non-compatible PCI card. I reinstalled the original Realtek card and still cannot see it in the DM or BIOS.
6. Have tried loading and unloading various drivers with respect to both the WiFi card as well as power management and hotkey features.
This is brand new machine, and hence will go back to Lenovo under warranty service, but I would much prefer to handle this without the shipping hassle back-and-forth, plus I would like to understand the underlying issue to prevent its recurrence (especially if it's software based and not simply a defective chip). Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If adapter isn't broken, fitted to the slot preperly and turned on it should be recognised by system on the pci-e bus and seen in the Device Manager at least as Unknown device.
To ensue that open powershell window and copy-past (via right click menu) the following string:
Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object{$_.ConfigManagerErrorCode -ne 0} | Select Name, DeviceID
If adapter is recognised but doesn't have drivers installed, you'll see its description.
Or you can check wireless adapter by its description context:
Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object{$_.Name –Match “DeviceName”} | Select Name, DeviceID
Replace "DeviceName" in the string above with "Raltek", "Wireless", "Adapter" etc. (keep the quotes)

ACER ASPIRE Z5801 Wi-Fi card not detected

Hello, After 2 failed attempts at installing Windows 10 on the Acer Aspire Z5801, I finally managed to get it installed on the 3rd attempt. However, this wasn't without problems after installation.. I found that Windows 10 was not detecting any wireless adapter, preventing me from accessing the Internet wirelessly. I tried to get the driver off the acer website (selected W7 as the driver is only listed on that OS) but that didn't work - it said it successfully installed but still wouldn't recognise the card, even after a reboot. The ethernet adapter was there (listed in Device Manager), just not the wireless card. To test whether it was a Windows 10 issue with how it handles wireless connections, I attempted to install a USB wireless adapter I had (which is usually in use by another PC) and that worked successfully after installing the driver for the adapter. This is not a solution though because the other PC needs that adapter to connect to the Internet. In the end, I just reverted back to Windows 7 and the card was detected once again. This is disappointing because another computer of mine that is much older + has weaker hardware, successfully managed to install Windows 10 without hiccups and even after installation, it runs flawlessly. So why can't Acer enable more support for other systems? The Z5801 should be perfectly capable enough of running the latest OS but due to lack of support, users of this PC must stick to Windows 7.. It's not just the driver either.. this PC suffers from other issues during upgrade and after installation. I don't know, it's disappointing. I've wasted so much time trying to install it and every time, a new problem arises.
