New wifi card with Bluetooth
Hi,
i search for my Probook 6550b a Mini Pci Express wifi card with bluetooth.
For the moment i have only a wifi card, with this spare part number 572509-001.
My CPU is a Intel I5 M520.
I found on the HP partsurfer site this card 593127-001. But the wifi is not the best on this card.
Are there any other better cards that work?
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
That's needed before anyone can tell you want will work...

Satellite A110 - WiFi switch is not working with new WiFi card
Hello Everyone
I have a problem with my Toshiba Notebook Satellite A110-178 (PSAB0E). I replaced the original WIFI card Intel 3945abg with Intel Link 5100 and on the new wifi card wifi hardware switch is not working.
New wifi card is discovered and drivers working correct but when I try to scan for wifi networks with IntelPro/Wireless software I have message to turn on hardware switch but it's turn on and not work. On old wifi card swich is working correct - orange light is on. On new card light is off and swich is not working.
Please helpHi
Maybe you could enable the Wlan card using different way;
Go to device manager -> WLan card properties -> Advanced tab
There you could check if there is a option which would enables the WLan.
Its worth a try
Otherwise its a compatibility issue like suggested by PinkPanther
I read in different threads that this could happens if there is a different pin assignment on miniPCI WLan card and this could not match with the miniPCI slot on the mobo... -
I spilled some red wine on my keyboard and i cannot connect to the internet any more. it says on the internet icon: Wi-fi: no harware installes. so i guess i need to get a new wifi card for my mac air. do i have to buy this from a apple store? i live fare away from an apple store. Also, I do have a macbook with software system:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). can I take out the wifi card from that mack and use that one for my mac air?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Consider yourself lucky that your MacBook is still working. Now, turn it off. Wine may have damaged other parts of your computer.
Then, take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be a very expensive repair, as it's not covered by warranty and the logic board has to be replaced. In some cases, it may be better to get a new MacBook.
If you can't take it to an Apple Store, contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 -
Getting on WiFi Spot with Bluetooth enabled iBook! I know it's possible.
I have this in the Bluetooth forum too.
I know it's possible as I know someone who got it working.
Something about changing IP Packets and where they go.
I was wondering if I have another Mac with an Airport card can I have it say it's connection to Bluetooth enabled Mac's? If I had both of them Bluetooth enable could I do it?
Is there anyway I can connect to a WiFi network with Bluetooth?
Thanks, Internet Wiz™is there anyway I can connect to a WiFi network with Bluetooth?
No, it's not possible.
You can use Bluetooth to connect to a Bluetooth Internet Enabled Mobile Phone and gain access that way, but there's no way to directly connect to an 802.11b/g WiFi hotspot via bluetooth.
You made the correct choice going with an Airport card. That is the proper way to connect. -
Wifi card with rt2500 chipset not detected
Hi all,
I got a new pci wifi card with chipset rt2500, but I can't make it work. I installed without problems rt2500 driver from beta 3, and when I run ifconfig, the wifi card doesn't show up. If I run iwconfig, ra0 shows up but with no wireless extension. I tried to do iwconfig ra0 mode monitor or managed, and it says "Invalid argument". The card works with a live cd distro (rt2500 driver) and with windows so it's not an hardware problem, and when I do a lspci, card is appearing.
I tried the rt2500-cvs driver, but I have the same problem too.
So I think help is neededZanton - maybe this is wrong place to ask this question but please can you tell me how did you compile your own kernel. I'm newbie with Arch and using pci wifi card with chipset rt2500 (not just now ).
I've used Slacware over an year without problems and I think it's little bit tricky to compile Arch-linux kernel with ABS-way because it was so easy in Slack.
So did you compile with ABS http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cus … n_with_ABS or some other way?
I'm using latest rt2500-driver (nightly-cvs) and SMP as well PREEMPT is on! -
Can I replace stock wifi card with an Intel 6235 Wifi/Bluetooth PCI-e card in my N580?
I have a PCI-e WiFi/BT combo card that worked in my HP laptop, but when I put it in the N580, It would not boot and said the wifi card was not authorized and I would have to remove it and replace with an authorized card. There are SO many different card available, I just want to find the correct one that will fit in the BIOS Whitelist.
I'm looking for a Dual Band wifi with Bluetooth 4.0 preferred. Something like this. Would this one on eBay work or is there another card I would need.
Thanks!

Go to Solution.Hello and welcome,
Whatever card you use, it MUST have a Lenovo FRU number. Cards that will pass the BIOS whitelist have been modified to provide a specific subsystem ID to BIOS. Reputable sellers will list the Lenovo FRU if their card is compatible.
For example, a generic Intel 6150NX will not pass the whitelist, but a 6150NX with a 20002543 FRU number will pass.
Here's the list from the N580 Hardware Maintenance Manual:

New WIFI card will NOT connect correctly.
Hi,
I just purchased a Gigafast WF748-CUI wireless card for my iMac G3 running Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.10) and I followed the instructions exactly and did everything right but it will NOT connect. It keeps generating these weird IP addresses beginning with 168. but my networks IP address begins with 192. I had the same problem with my previous WIFI card on the iMac but it would work eventually. I have been messing with this one for like 2 hours and it has shown no sign of working. I even entered a manual IP address in but still nothing. The program for the wireless card says its connected but it is not (or isnt connected to the right IP anyway). What do I do?Sooo, there's no way the CP has to "Join" a Network? Just says you're connected to 169.x.x.x?
Might try making a New Location in Network CP, turn off all other Ports, the set the IPv4 settings to Manually...
IP: 192.168.0.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1
Assuming the Router is 192.168.0.1, but change the 2nd & 3rd digits accorcdingly. -
[GAVE UP] New Wifi card problem - no orange "Wifi on" light
For some silly reason the Intel Wifi 4965 agn mini-PCI card in my wife's laptop will not work with anything newer than Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Linux will not even "post". (I think that's the right word) So, I ordered an Intel Wifi 5100 agn mini-PCI card as a replacement.
When I installed it, Linux recognized it (hooray!) but will not use it. (boo!) The dmesg output says that the radio is disabled by the hardware switch. (the physical switch on the case of the laptop) Also, the orange "Wifi on" light does not light up any more.
Physically, the new card is an exact replacement for the old one. I don't think the two wires are on backwards. (they are labeled) I did not see anything in the BIOS related to Wifi. Toggling the switch off and on does not help. It is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5837 with an AMD Athlon64 processor.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Does anyone have a suggestion of what to try?
Thank you!
Last edited by drcouzelis (2010-08-06 13:37:14)Thank you for the suggestion. I installed the firmware, the modules were loaded correctly, and the OS detected it, but it wouldn't work.
I pretty much have given up. I returned the card mentioned above. I even bought and tried another wifi card without success. My experience has been:
Intel wifi 4965 miniPCIe: Works great, but anything past Linux kernel 2.6.27 (I think it was) will not boot with the card in the computer and with the wifi switched on.
Intel wifi 5100 miniPCIe: The wifi switch never appeared to detect it. Linux detected it and installed the drivers for it, but the "wifi on" light never turned on, and Linux couldn't use it because it didn't think it was on. I gave up and returned it to Newegg. The problem may have been related to this, but that is for miniPCI cards, and not miniPCIe.
Intel wifi 3945 miniPCIe: It is branded as a Toshiba card, and so I thought it would work in a Toshiba laptop. I bought it cheap off of Ebay. It is neither detected by the OS or the wifi switch.
I'm not sure what I'll do now. I may buy a PCMCIA card. I may just leave Hardy on it until it dies.

I just received a PalmOne WiFi card for my Tungsten E2 for Fathers Day and was trying to set it up. I have been very unsuccessful. I have internet capabilities at home and at the office on my PC. I have WiFi capabilities with my laptop at work which allows me to take it anywhere in the building and stay connect to our network and all our application. I do not have a media network plan for my cell phone, but it is capable, I just don't subscribe. Do I need to add the data plan from my service provider (AT&T Wireless) in order for my WiFi card to work/connect to the internet or can it connect to free WiFi networks on it's own?
Post relates to: Palm PilotA cell plan has nothing to do with the Wifi card...
Have you viewed the help file at the top of the BlueTooth and Wifi section of the forum? It explains the basic settings needed to connect. I wrote it for the TX, but it's applicable to the Wifi card too.
Do you know the passwords and encryption settings at work? Have you tried entering them into the Wifi card's settings? Are they broadcasting in /b or mixed mode?
What isn't working at home? Do you have your all your router's settings entered correctly into the E2?

Is it possible to replace the wifi card with another one?
Hi
I have a t400 with intel 5100 wifi card and now I want to install mac os on my laptop.
problem is that mac os does not detect the 5100 series of wifi card and I want to know whether it is possible to replace the current 5100 model with a older series?
Is there any certified service center in Uppsala/ Sweden to do that?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.Lenovo restricts the wireless cards to Lenovo branded units certified to work with the machine. This is done through a whitelist in the system BIOS. I recently disassembled the latest (version 3.14-1.06) T500/W500 BIOS and found the following whitelist table. This is raw big endian hex appended with what I found by searching the device ID's. Redundant entries are for varying vendor IDs.

Your T400 is from the same lineup and probably has the same list. Remember, you'll need to purchase a Lenovo branded unit.

New wifi card for PowerBook G4 (2002, OS 10.4.11)
Hello,
Can anyone recommend a wifi card for a PowerBook G4?
I've just bought a secondhand model, and I'd like to broaden its wifi capability. Being able to use WPA security would be a good start.
- RichardI bought the WiFi card from eBay. It's a Chinese clone of a Motorola WN825Gv3 (part number: 518565-001-00). Here's the old eBay link: http://bit.ly/XmW0Gb
I can't remember exactly what settings I used on my Powerbook – mainly because I clicked things at random until it worked – but I did have to click "renew lease" in WiFI settings to get the card to work.
I didn't have to change any settings on my router, but the card isn't compatible with 5Hz WiFi frequencies, or the "n" speed WiFi.
Other than having to renew the lease occasionally, the card works smoothly.

Replacing the Realtek wifi card with an Intel one
Hey everyone,
I am trying to replace the poor performing realtek wifi module with an Intel Centrino one on my T420.
I purchased an "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205" which is one of the chips the T420 comes with.
Apparently my chip is not whitelisted, as I could not boot with it plugged in.
Lenovo support was unable to tell me where to get a Lenovo branded chip.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello and welcome,
As you've discovered, wifi cards have to be the correct model (Intel xyz) and have a Lenovo FRU number.
I can't link to the T420 Hardware Maintenance Manual at the moment - support is undergoing maintenance
Here are the Intel models and FRUs from my local T420 HMM:
Wireless-N 1000 60Y3241
Advanced-N 6205 (2x2 AGN) 60Y3253
Ultimate-N 6300 60Y3233
Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250, WW SKU 60Y3195
Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250, Russia SKU 60Y3209
Hopefully that helps your search.

Has anyone out there used/using the palm wifi sd card with the Tungsten E2? How easy is it to work? I was thinking of checking it out but was wondering if it is really worth it. I have a wifi enabled system here and wanted to play around with the E2 and its wifi functions
thanks
jeridmar6
Post relates to: Tungsten E2Hello jeridmar6, I've never used the card with an E2, but with my Zire72 it was fun!
It quickly went through the battery's charge, but I used to get a solid hour's worth of Wifi use before needing to recharge.
Just remember, it's a very old card by today's standards and the only security it can do is WEP encryption. If you're running WPA or higher it will require you to back down a bit.

The new Ipod nano with bluetooth
I now test this new 7th gen (i think) with bluetooth to an wireless loopset as I´m hard of hearing. I can hear music on the player but how can I hear the radio?
You have to connect the earphones to get the radiostations, and so the hearing would come over the earphones. But I would lite to hear the radio over my wireless loopset. How can I do that?You aren't able to listen to radio with wireless headphones. The radio function piggybacks the headphone wire to use as an antenna.
If you decide to use radio with headphones with a cord, make sure the cord isn't tangled for a clearer audio track. -
Hello, I have been trying to upgrade my wifi card. The standard wifi card is only bgn, and I want an abgn wifi card. However, the manuel only shows possilbe wifi cards being only bgn since I have an AMD model. I was wondering if I could just install an intel wifi card even though it says "intel only" laptops. I looked up online and intel says they have no compability issues with AMD chipsets. Also, I was wondering if the whitelist still exists in this model? (Been informed that whitelists are being removed for some models)
I was thinking of getting this wifi card: http://www.amazon.com/Bigfoot-Networks-KillerN-1202-Notebook-Wireless/dp/B008H5V9ZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UT...However, I am seeing this forum: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware-Upgrades-Replacements/HP-ENVY-TouchSmart-m6-k012dx-Sleekbook-W...
