do not have access to the net.how can i fix the problem??i must install driver?????where can i find linux drivers for my laptop model? because i searched lenovo website and it does not have drivers for linux for B590

Do this in terminal while you have connection via lan cable:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
sudo modprobe b43
The last option is using ndiswrapper with this windows driver

The wireless adapter cannot be detected.

I think there is something wrong with my laptop, but this appears to be a little confused. I buy my laptop about 1 month ago, it is Acer V17 Nitro - Black Eidtion. But two weeks ago the wireless adapter is not working (it disappeared from the adapter settings), then I reinstall the driver, it works. Howver, the problem comes back this week from Tuesday. I install the driver, it not works. So I uninstall the driver and then re-install it again, it works. But today when I open my laptop, the wireless adapter doesn't work again! And when I re-install the driver (like what I do before), it doesn't work. After shutting down for severl times, it works again! It takes me really a lot of time! I am so confused about this! Can any one help??? T.T

The problem still exists for twice. And I have send it to the repair centre twice, the first time they replace the SSD, the second they repair the wifi. And now, the third time! Sometimes it works, some time it does not work (which means when I open the laptop every time, there would be a good wifi icon or a red cross icon). When it does not work, the wireless adaptor cannot be detected at all. I have no idea of it.

Rats.
I hope the replacement card fixes the problem. Over the years I have had just one bad network card -- and it drove me nuts tracking down that it was, indeed, a failed card.
Good Luck - post back if you like and let us know the results!

It is a nice way to say “Thank You” for the help.

Hi:
This is the only thing that I can think of that will work...see if manually installing the Vista 64 bit driver works on W8.
Run this driver. If it installs automatically, great. If not...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-65991-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Go to the device manager and click on the network controller needing drivers.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp34931. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the driver installs that way.

Wireless adapter is not working.

My WiFi is not working, please help me. For tree days I’m trying to turn on wireless adapter.
In Programs and Features I have Atheros 802.11 showing. But in Device Manager it is not showing up. On switch Fn+10 is going on but the control lamp is not going on. I have reinstalled the driver Atheros_WLAN 8.0.0.196. I tried even Atheros AR928x Wireless Network Adapter, but it is not working. I upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium, reset to original factory state, to Win 7 Starter. Now I again upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium. Nothing helped.
I'm hoping you can help me out.
Peter.

You could try a couple of simple things that might help:
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and disconnect attached devices.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.  You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

My wireless adapter is not showing in my device manager under network adaptors

I have a Pavilion, model p6210f with Windows 7
I have used it for 2 years with an ethernet cable and now I need it to go wireless, however, no wireless adpater is showing in the device manager under network adaptors, only showing the LAN.
Checking the specifications for this model at the hp website, it should have a 56K Win Modem.
Don't know what to do except go buy a USB Wireless adaptor, any ideas?
Called tech support, but I was given no assistance.

Hi:
Below is the link to the product specs for your PC.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01852858&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
The PC does not come with wireless networking capability - only a wired ethernet adapter and a dial up modem.
The easiest thing to do is to purchase and external USB wireless network adapter.
Below is a link which will give you plenty of choices to consider. Look at the reviews and buy one that best suits your needs. You will of course, also need a wireless networking router.

When I am lucky and does get to the wifi then i have got Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn driver, current version I have is 5.0.46.0 and date is: 09/04/2014
I normally use network cable to connect internet.
Can anyone help, how to fix this issue... if new driver needed please send me the direct link to the driver.
Thanks
Regards
Saad

this is my model:
HP Pavilion 17-e100ex Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)
Model #: G1P43EA
Serial #: [Personal Information Removed]

The Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter does not detect my external monitor.

Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
I just purchased this dongle, and when I plug it into my thunderbolt port it doesnt do anything. It works for my MBP 2012 13'' which I just purchased today.
iMac 2011 21.5''

Hmmm, if once booting, you turn the Monitor OFF & back ON, does it see it?

X31: not detecting any wireless network

My IBM thinkpad is not detecting any network when my wireless router is on. I have checked the windows zero configration and it shows that it has started. The radio signal is also lighted and shown at the centre of the display bottom. My thinkpad is using the cisco pci wireless lan adapter and I have also check the driver, it show working. When I use a USB wireless adapter it can detect my router and connect.
Why cant my internal wireless adapter detect my router when the radio signal is on , windows zero configration started and the pci wireless card enable already.
Thanks,
alvin

try to run the PC-Doctor diagnostic on the laptop wireless card.

Windows 2003 on T61 wireless adapter not showing

I have 7658( CTO) T61 with XP pro.... I downgraded windows 2003 enterprise edition SP2. i have few questions
1. I changed the bios to compatibility mode ( I keep sata then win 2003 not booting, so changed to compatability mode). Is it required that I keep compatability mode.?
2. Wireless adapter is not working ( not showing at all). It is PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_1014&SUBSYS_058A1014&REV_01\4&29E2C51B&0&00E1
I downloaded and tried many drivers from lenovo website but is not working.
I have struggled for a week and searched many forums but nothing is helping me out. Please help me.

You will need the Windows 2003 compatible SATA drivers to stop using compatibility mode. I don't know if they exist... good luck there. Try Intel's web site since you probably have an Intel chipset.
As for the wireless adapter, again it may be a matter of Win2003 not recognizing the device. I would try and manually install several drivers and see which one may work. You may have to force-feed Win2003 since it doesn't recognize the hardware. Be sure you know the manufacturer of the wireless chip... Intel or Broadcom or Atheros? Look at the specs for your laptop.

Airport Extreme wireless stopped working/not recognized by Airport Utility

I have a 2nd gen Airport Extreme that's been working fine for years (the last time I changed the configuration was 2.5 years ago when I switched internet providers). Here's my problem:
Woke up this morning and tried to check the weather on my iPad Air. No internet connection.
Looked at Airport: light is green, all cable modem lights are normal
Tried Airport Utility on iPad: initially couldn't connect, then asked for a password; never got any status/config info
Tried Airport Utility on my iMac, which has a direct ethernet connection to the Airport: same as on iPad
Note: Airport Extreme status LED was green throughout this
Next:
Unplugged Airport, then reattached power. Now LED is blinking orange (after startup); still doesn't appear in Airport Utility on iMac
iPad no longer recognizes my wifi; my wireless network is not detected at all by any of my wireless devices (ID doesn't show up in list of available networks)
Switched ethernet cables for connection from iMac to Airport: still not detected in Airport Utility
After this I did the factory reset (held down reset button); nothing changed, still not detected in Airport Utility
And then I had to leave for work.
Does this sound like my Airport has gone bad? The fact that the wifi no longer seems to work at all and it's not detected in Airport Utility makes me think it has.

Please start another post for your question, as you do not have a 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme...and...you are also asking about extending the network.
Include information about "how" the AirPort Express connects to the Time Capsule.....wired connection?....wireless connection?
What operating system are you using on the computer that is used to administer the AirPort Express?

WRT350N compatibility with XBox 360 wireless adapter

I just installed a new WRT350N - all my computers connect just fine - my XBox wireless adapter will not connect. Is there a compatibility issue?

Make sure that your wireless security is not set to WPA2. The XBOX 360 wireless adapter does not support it. You need to use WPA or WEP.
EA6500 - v1.1.27.144156
WUMC710 - v1.0.00

WRT54G - How do i make my router find my xbox 360 wireless adapter?

Can someone please help me? My wireless adapter is not getting anything. My ipod gets wifi from the router but no my xbox.

All you need to do is forward ports on the router for XBOX-360 you got from the XBOX provider for the assigned static ip address & do the complete network power cycle & you will be able to play the games wirelessly!!!

Windows 7 will not detect the wireless adapter on my Dell D610 laptop

Windows 7 will not detect the wireless adapter on my Dell D610 laptop
Any workaround?

hey guys.... i believe i have some light for you all. I gave my daughter a D610 which came pre-installed with Linux (ubuntu). She did not like it so i loaded windows 7 and guess what? no wifi.
Unknown Device listed on device manager. to make the story short, after almost returning the laptop and spending 2 days looking for drivers everywhere I decided to reload Ubuntu because the wifi always worked. Then going a little deeper inside linux hardware
specs I listed all the hardware using the command lshw from linux shell and what shows up as wifi interface? Atheros AR5001x.
Problem was almost solved. The adventure now was find the driver for Atheros AR5001x that worked for windows 7. And now just to finish this story even faster, the diver is xp32-5.1.1.9.
Unfortunately after downloading the driver I did not save the website. I have the file with me if you need.
Just send me a message and i will be more than happy to email it to you.
Happy New Year for all!!!!

Satellite 5200-903 does not detect Wireless Adapter

hello everybody,
I wonder if anyone can tip me on this one...
Since I reinstalled the OS ( have XP pro SP2 ) PC seems not detecting anymore the WIRELESS adapter in Device manager under Network Adapter.
Also the light of the wireless switcher does not turn on anymore.
I am also having problems to access the BIOS to check if the adapter is detected there, I do not have a Toshiba HW setup in Control Panel as indicated in the manual.
Any suggestions?

Hello Juliana
The question is how did you install the OS? If you use recovery CD all tools will be installed including Toshiba HW setup. If the unit is preinstalled with Microsoft WXP CD you must install all Toshiba stuff belatedly.
Just short explanation about WLAN card. Basically if the light of the wireless switcher does not turn on thats clearly indicate onto hardware problem. I assume that the WLAN card is defective. Check also if the card is listed in device manager.
If you want to enter BIOS settings pres ESC button at the boot up procedure and keep it down for a few seconds.
Bye
