N82 as WLAN adapter

Whenever I google this, I find solutions pertaining how to share the PC's wifi connection to the phone via USB, which is the opposite of what I'm looking for.
I have an N82, and I want to share its wifi connection to my Windows XP computer via USB. In other words, I want to use it as a WLAN adapter. I haven't found any way to do this with the bundled software, but is there any third party software that does?

I see that you've given that answer before, but I don't want to buy a USB dongle. I have my reasons for this, and it's not that I'm a cheap **bleep**; I'm on a wireless only connection, which sometimes refuses my PC for reasons I haven't sorted out. However, when this happens, my Nokia phone still gets connected. Thus, I know that my phone has a connection, so if I could get that onto my computer it would be a safe bet and a good makeshift solution until the hotspot gets a good reboot. When the router is in that mood it refuses ALL the PCs in the house, but not my N82 and some other devices, that's why I don't think another adapter would do the trick (indeed, the PC already has a PCI wifi adapter from Linksys).
I can see many situations where such a solution could be useful, and it shouldn't be too hard to fix, either. What Joikuspot does seems a lot more complicated.

How to use n82's wlan, as internet connection for ...

Hi everyone!
I have a pc without wlan connection and a n82. I have a wireless access point in my room. I want to use the internet connection on my pc, with n82's wlan. How can I use my n82's wlan for sharing the internet connection thought usb cable? Is it possible at all?
Thanks for reply!
VBalu987

although the phone can be used as a modem it can't be used as WLAN switch or adapter, so it's not possible to do so, im afraid.
you need to get Wireless lan adapter for you laptop.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

WLAN adapter doesn't work on my Satellite A200

Hi,
My WLAN adapter doesn't work under Vista. If I press FN + F8 nothing happens. The wireless-communication is still offline.
What can I do?
Details:
Typ: Atheros AR5008X Version: 7.2.0.164
Notebook Satellite 200
PSAE6E
Please help me!
Thx in advance!
Phil

BIOS bug? I dont think so
Firstly you should ensure that this is not a hardware issue. In such case insert the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the OS on this unit. This will set the notebook to the factory settings. Note; this would format the whole HDD.
After new installation, you have to enable the WLan switch at the notebooks side and then you could use the button switch FN+F8 to select the WLan.
I presume you have already configured your Wlan router. So the same settings like SSID, WLan encryption, etc must be set on the notebook too.

Problems with broadcom wlan adapter and wlan-button.

I've got a laptop (HP Compaq 6715S), which has an integrated wlan adapter (broadcom 4311/4312?). A couple of weeks ago the adapter was working ok with ndiswrapper and bcmwl5.inf driver, but it stopped working recently probably after ndiswrapper and/or kernel upgrade. Loading the ndiswrapper module from rc.conf made the whole system kernel panic (IRQ problem?) until I added:
acpi=noirq
to the kernel boot parameters. Now this error doesn't occur every time I load ndiswrapper, but the problem still exists. BCM43xx driver doesn't work either. I'm using the 64-bit arch.
in my rc.conf I have:

The other problem that I have is the wlan-button: The wlan adapter isn't always turned on at boot and I have found no way to turn it on from linux. It can be turned on by booting to windows or resetting the bios to defaults, but it is not very nice. I've noticed that pressing the wlan button adds one usb device:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:171d Hewlett-Packard
Is there a way to fix these problems?

When I used to use ndiswrapper, just downloading one of the generic INF files didn't do the trick for me. I had to go to my manufacturer's homepage and download it there extract the drivers from the exe and use them in order to get my card work reliably.
Also, have you used a 64 bit driver? This guy reckons you need it:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … ost2952703
I guess I solved it. I have been using the 64-bit driver, but have tried the 32-bit driver from hp diver site too. For some reason ndiswrapper seems to install a driver named "ndiswrapper" with this 32-bit driver, which is why it didn't work. So my solution was:
1) Get the 32-bit driver from hp.com
2) rmmod ndiswrapper
3) remove all installed ndiswrapper drivers: ndiswrapper -r <drivername>
4) installed the 32-bit driver: ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
5) ndiswrapper -l gave me:
bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4312) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)
ndiswrapper : invalid driver!
6) Got rid of the weird ndiswrapper driver inside ndiswrapper: ndiswrapper -r ndiswrapper
7) modprobe ndiswrapper
Rebooted a couple of times and it seems to work ok.
How about the wlan-button problem?

Asha 302 WLAN adapter Power input

Hello,
This may sem a wired question but I need to know the power input in mW for the WiFi client adapter embedded in the Asha 302 phone. We are covering a broad area with high powe outdoor acces points and need to know whether the phone will be able to talk back to the access points or not. I cann't find the phone WLAN adapter power reading anywhere or even the the data sheet. I was hoping a Nokia guru can help me with that.
Thanks

Tragedy: Express as a WLAN-Adapter/AP-Client?

An avoidable tragedy:
I bought a Mac Pro 2009 without the Airport-Card.
Didn't expect it to be an "option" when buying
the best apple offers... my fault.
I do really need the WLAN, so there are 2 options:
1. Leave my workstation I'm depending on to an
apple authorized service for a few days... pay
50 bucks for the airport extreme + the service
= at least 90 to 120 altogether...
+ alot of money I lose due to the lack of a
replacement workstation while it's at
the service
=> Thus NOT the option I can use...
2. Buy a WLAN-Adapter...Oh wait: there is NO
Mac-compatible one out there.
->So I need a WLAN-Access-Point-Client with
a RJ45/LAN port which will wirelessly connect to my
WLAN-Router. There are (thanks god) plenty available.
the Airport Express looks interesting:
Can the Airport Express be used as an AP-Client?

the Airport Express looks interesting:
Can the Airport Express be used as an AP-Client?
Only if the wireless base station is compatible with ProxySTA or if the wireless network is being created by another AirPort Express (AX), an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), or a Time Capsule.

Wlan Adapter on MBP?

I need a USB Wlan Adapter. MBP works fine, only my Airport Hardware seems to be broken. Which one works good on Mavericks and has a long range?
Thank you

(MBP 13" early 2011)

Hi
The Equium A200-PSAF5 seems to be equipped with the Realtek Wlan card and the Wlan driver should be downloaded from this Toshiba Wlan portal:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/ or from the Toshiba driver page.

Driver for 0bda:8176 Realtek RTL8188CUS WLAN Adapter

Hi there,
I hope you can help me. I just bought a 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter and tried to use it with Kubuntu and Archlinux. Both have the same problem. The device is recognised correctly and Wireless Networks are found, but when trying to connect it fails and asks for password again and again. The driver-install-script from the Realtek-Homepage does not work and exits with errors.
How could I get that one to work?
Cheers,
Gem

It's the driver. The open source one is not working properly and realteks driver works 'til linux 3.9, there is a patch for ubuntu - I'll try to get that one working and post the results here - thanks for looking into this.

Wlan adapter not recognized after Standby (S205, Windows 8)

Hi!
I installed Windows 8 to my Lenovo IdeaPad S205 Netbook just a few days ago. Unfortunately, I have problems with Wlan. In the beginning, it didn`t work at all. Then I found a thread in this forum, where somebody recommended to set the network as the first booting device. Doing so made the Wlan work!
But, after using the Standby-Mode of the netbook, Wlan doesn`t work again. The system says the adapter would be deactivated, though it certainly is activated. To make Wlan work again, I have to reboot the netbook.
I also noticed that sometimes it is not possible to start the Bios while booting. Always when that`s the case, Wlan doesn`t work.
I installed the newest drivers, also a driver I got from Atheros, the newest Windows 8 updates and I tried to de-/activate Lan adapter and to change the energy management setting - without sucess.
It seems I´m not the only one with these problems, but I didn`t find any solution so far.
Do you have any idea?
Best regards
Philipp
Btw: I had no problems before with Windows 7.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi Phil205de,
If you're having issues accessing the BIOS after a shutdown, check this article.
As for the WLAN card not being recognized or not being able to detect wifi networks, try to:
1. Turn the computer OFF and remove the wifi antenna (see page 42 of the hardware maintenance manual)
2. Turn the computer ON and when it gets to Windows, shut the PC off.
3. Reconnect the wifi antenna and turn the PC ON.
If you still get the same problem, try to Install Ubuntu via Wubi (can be uninstalled after) and try to check if you can now detect wifi networks. If everything's ok on Ubuntu, you need to reinstall Windows and load the wireless driver on Windows Setup as discussed in this article.
Cheers

Satellite L50D-B-146 - WLAN Adapter drops the Wi-Fi connection

Hi all,
I have a problem with the Wireless card (Broadcom adapter), it randomly drops the wifi connection for no apparent reason (I have disabled the power saving modules within win 7 etc).
Running the hardware diagnostics within the latest Toshiba/Broadcom driver package yielded everything passes with the exception of the SPROM checksum failing.
Is this a sign of faulty hardware? is it possible to reflash the SPROM with the correct data?
Many thanks for any helo,
Hob

> Is this a sign of faulty hardware? is it possible to reflash the SPROM with the correct data?
I think you are on the wrong trace
If the WLan card is listed and recognized properly in device manager, then the WLan driver was installed properly.
The sporadic WLan disconnection issues might be related to different reasons which are:
Router WLan compatibility issue
Router settings (kind of encryption, WPA WPA2, TKIP AES)
WLan signal strength
I would recommend you to reset the Wlan router.
Then you could test the Wlan performance using not secured wireless network (of course just for testing purposes)
Then test different encryption settings.
Also test the notebook with and without connected AC adaptor.

How to install WLAN adapter in Satellite Pro A10

I am trying to set up a wireless connection with my Satellite Pro A10. I thought it was wireless enabled, but when I toggle the wireless switch, no light comes on and there is no wireless card listed under Network adaptors (so I guess not).
How easy is it to install a wireless adaptor (i.e. can I do it myself or do I need to have it done by a professional)? Can anyone recommend which card I should by (or any I should avoid)?
Thanks.

Hi
According the notebook specification your Satellite Pro A10 is WLAN ready. In notebook specification there are listed two compatible WLAN cards:
PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802.11b) and PA3273U-2MPC (802.11a/b).
I really do not know if you can use some faster WLAN cards with standard g. Maybe you will be lucky and someone will post here WLAN card upgrade results.
I am not 100% sure where the WLAN slot is placed but check please under the cover placed nears the battery.

T8200: Where is physical access to WLAN Adapter

Hi,
I've bought a Tecra 8200. The internal WLAN card does not work. When I activate it with the button at the front of the notebook nothing happens.
The card is not recognized by WinXP -> means it doesn't appear in the device manager. It seems to be that the card is not "powered on".
However, can someone explain me how to open the notebook to check if cabling is correct? I removed all screws at the bottom of the case but the keyboard is still aligned with the rest of the notebook, so I cannot open it completely.
Thanks.
Ralf

Problem solved..... the WLAN Card is under the plastic cover with the security screws....

Dual band wlan adapter replacement

Hi, I have an HP pavilion DM1 4310sw and I would like to replace the WLAN card. Inside there is a Ralink 3290 b/g/n/2,4Ghz only. I want to have dual band wlan card with bluetooth. Which wlan card will work with my laptop?
Thank you for your help

Hi Rapi,
Welcome to the HPCommunity, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are looking for dual band card for your Pavilion. I took at a look at the specifications for your model and there isn't a particular card that I can recommend. Not of the wireless cards recommended in the Maintenance and Service guide are dual band. There is one that is but only if your model has an Intel processor but yours has a AMD dual-core according to the specifications.

hi Ace_Rimmer
Just to check, have you tried re-downloading the driver and installing it again?
If that doesn't work, can you try these steps:
1. Download this A540 Wireless Driver - Win7 x64.zip and extract it on the desktop. When done, run the setup.exe inside and observe.
2. If same problem, open Device Manager > Other Devices > Network Controller (right click) then choose: Update driver software > Browse my computer for driver software and point it to the A540 Wireless Driver folder on the desktop then hit ok to manually install the driver.
Let me know how it goes.
