T400 WiFi Link 5100 Incorrect Driver Update Retriever

Update retriever does not have the correct download for the 6474 series it lists the Thinkpad driver 7yc10ww as the only download option.
Message Edited by Davidmf on 01-27-2009 02:43 PM

I'm not sure what you are asking for as 7yc10ww is not a valid driver file name (they all have 8 characters in the name).
However, the current Intel 5100 driver for Vista can be downloaded from here.....
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70505
or for XP its here....

Regarding using wwan in T400 with Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN

Hello,
Im interested to use of WWAN in my laptop, My is Thinkpad T400, having with Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN.
please guide me with process accesing the simcard slot in laptop.
Waiting for your reply.
With Regards
Santhosh

Hi,
I believe the SIM card slot is in the battery bay. Remove the battery to access.
That Intel 5100 is a wifi card, not a wwan card. Do you also have a wwan card installed, or is that what you are asking about?
Information on both (SIM and wwan card installation) is in the hardware maintenance manual: Hardware Maintenance Manual - T400 & R400

T500 - Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN Driver

I purchased my T500 within the first week Lenovo had it available for US consumers to order. I was assured the machine was going to come with a WiMax card. I gave it to my daughter to use. We never tested WiMax since we did not have WiMax in our city until October of last year. Came to find out, our machine did not come with a WiMax card as was promissed. It has in it the Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN card instead. Needless to say, I no longer feel comfortable ordering from Lenovo anymore. We got seven laptops in the house. Five of which are ThinkPads. However, we've moved over to Samsung after this unpleasant experience.
Today I wanted to see if there's an updated version of the driver I'm running for my WiFi card, to my unpleasant surprise, the driver for the Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN card in my T500 does not exist anywhere at www.lenovo.com. I only see drivers for the Intel 5150 and the Intel 5350 cards.
Does anybody out there have any idea where I can find the latest driver for the Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN in my duped T500 laptop?
Thank you in advance for your help.

In the T500 driver matrix you will find the following entry;
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000,
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200/ 6205,
Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250,

Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100 and Realtek ALC663

Hi,
does anyone use wifi card: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100
and/or soundcard: Realtek ALC663
and/or Graphics Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 9650M GT?
Because I'd like to buy Asus X57VN:
: Processor
Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26 GHz
:: Chipset
Intel PM45
:: RAM
3072 MB, DDR2-800, 2 GB + 1 GB
:: Graphics Adapter
NVIDIA GeForce 9650M GT - 1024 MB, core: 550 MHz, ram: 400 MHz, ForceWare 176.05
:: Matrix
15,4 Zoll 16:10, 1440x900 , AU Optronics B154PW02 V2 / AUO2277
:: Harddisk
320 GB - 5400 rpm, 320GB 5400, Hitachi HTS543232L9A300
:: Soundcard
Realtek ALC663
:: Slots
1 Express Card 54mm, 4 USB, 1 Firewire, 1 VGA, 1 HDMI, 56 kb/s Modem, 1 Kensington Lock, 1 eSata, Audio Connections: micro, headset, Card Reader: 8 w 1 (SD/MMC/MS/MS Pro),
:: Connectivity
Realtek RTL8168C/8111C Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC , Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100 , Bluetooth
And I want to know is some issue with hardware described above especially sound, wifi and grafics.
Previously I've had intel wifi 4965 and realtek ALC268. First use iwl4965-ucode (package) and module in kernel, second causing some issue: it was necessary to add "options snd_hda_intel model=acer" to /etc/modprobe.conf.
If anyone use that laptop or some of hardware, please describe me the details about it ( firmware, /etc/modprobe.conf or any incompatibles ).
I'm interested about:
-Does nvidia 177.82-1 driver support Geforce 9650M GT,
-Does iwlwifi-5000-ucode firmware and kernel module enough for Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100 to work,
-Does Realtek ALC663 work smoothly (just alsa), or any /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base options are necessary?
I'll be grateful.

I can answer about the wireless intel 5100 part. I've got an intel 5300 and it's working fine. The drivers are included in the 2.6.27 kernel so you just have to install the iwlwifi-5000-ucode firmware.

W500 and Intel Wifi Link 5100

Hi,
since my WLAN Card seems to be broken I bought myself a new Intel Wifi Link 5100 for my W500. After I replaced the old card with the new one, I get a "1802 unauthorized network card error".
I googled for the problem an now I am completely pissed about lenovo. My W500 has a standard slot for such cards, but the W500 has a bios which checks cards against a whitelist and I cannot turn this completely useless check off.
Any idea what I could do?
2 weeks ago I started thinking about buying a new notebook after christmas. Now I wonder, whether the W530 suffers from the same problem. In the moment I am not sure, whether it makes any sense to buy another lenovo product, when it turns out, it could be crippled the same way as my W500.
So does anybody know, whether the W530 suffers the same problem.
A last question? What happens, when I plug a WLAN-Stick into USB? Must it also be authorized by lenovo and how do I find out, which products are authorized?
Thanks in advance
Thomas

welcome to the community.
sorry for your troubles.
afaik, all ThinkPads of at least the last 5(?) or more generations have had a BIOS whitelist for mPCI/e WLAN / WWAN options. as i understand it, this is due to getting approvals from numerous "Communications" regulatory agencies around the world for the cards. unfortunately, i've never seen the whitelists published anywhere, so we normally go by the FRU #s included in hardware maintenance manuals when folks ask for advice on compatible cards.
re: the USB WLAN stick, you should have no issue similar to a whitelist block.
regards.
edit: correction and clarification.

E3000 Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN Disconnect Reconnect

I am on version 1.0.04 and my wireless adapter Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN keeps disconnecting and reconnecting? Anyone with similar problems found a fix?

Is the wireless connection dropping on all the computers or only on one wireless computer?
Make sure that drivers of the wireless adapter are updated.

Intel Wifi Link 5100

Hi all. I'm considering ditching my laptop's Broadcom BCM4312 for an Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN. This is primarily because of it's native driver support, as the broadcom isn't giving me very good performance and it's range is quite random (using broadcom-wl driver.)
Anyone have any experience with the wifi link 5100, good or bad? Notebookreview has mixed reviews, mostly from windows users. Some say the card is horrible, some say it's great. The way I'm seeing it atm is that it can't be worse than my broadcom as far as drivers go.

I have an Intel 5100. I can't get it to play well with N-networks, to many dropped connections. Not sure if the Intel drivers suck or that the card sucks. However, it does work very well with G-networks.

Intel WiFi Link 5100 cannot see E2000 at 5 GHz

Hello All,
When I configure My new Linksys E2000 router to 5Ghz, I am not able to see the network in my laptop. How do I tell reliably that the router is working properly? 2.4 Ghz works well though.
Router
Firmware: 1.0.03
Wireless band: 5GHz
Network Mode: Mixed
channelWidth: Auto
Channel: Auto
SSID broadcase:Enabled
Security Mode: WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode
Laptop:
Lenovo IdeaPad Y450
Intel WiFi Link 5100 (11a/b/g/n wireless, Mini PCIe adapter) - does support 5Ghz from intel's website
Windows 7 with full updates, latest drivers from intel
In InSSIDer 2.0. I could see the router when i set at 2.4GHz and not at 5GHz.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Try configuring the properties for your wireless card. Check the settings under the Advanced tab, and go to Wireless Mode. By default I believe it is g only. Set it to a/g and you should see your network.

Using WRT610N w/ Intel WiFi Link 5100 wireless module

I am considering buying an FW or Z series Sony laptop which includes Intel WiFi Link 5100 as the wireless module, which is a dual range (2.4 & 5 GHz) 802.11 a/b/g/draft-n module. In order to benefit from wireless-n speeds as much as possible, I want to buy a good Wireless-N router. The one I am considering buying is Linksys WRT-610N. However, the thing is that I see on some forums that people have some problems with an older Linksys Wireless-N router used in conjunction with an older Intel wireless module. I am afraid I can have similar problem with the combination of the above mentioned router and wireless module. Moreover, I read a comment on somebody’s review of WRT610N on amazon.com that says that WRT610N is based on broadcom wireless chipset and thus may not give a good performance on PCs having an Atheros wireless module. If this is correct, it may go the same for using WRT610N with an Intel wireless chipset. Anyhow, my question is, have you been using a Linksys router with your PC that has an Intel wireless module and how do you find the performance (speed, range, frequency of drop-offs)? Comments from people using WRT610N (at least WRT600) along with a PC that has an Intel WiFi Link 5100 will be much more appreciated!

I think your in luck.. I have the exact combination that you are considering. I have a Sony FW190 with the intel 5100 a/g/draft-n card.
In my network I have the following:
1 Toshiba laptop 802.11abg (atheros)
1 Sony laptop 802.11abg (intel)
1 Sony FW190 802.11agn (Intel 5100)
I'm leveraging the dual radios on the wrt610n using 5Ghz band (wide) exclusively for the Sony FW190 the other laptops use the 2.4Ghz band.
On the Draft-N wifi connections I get connection speeds from 136Mbps to 300Mbps .. I've gotten donload speeds from my home server at a sustained 60Mbps+ speeds.
The configuration on both the laptop and the router took some understanding because of the features that 802.11n provides and the capability of the router to support dual radios. But overall I'm happy with the hardware and performance.
Good luck!

WRT110 with Intel WIFI Link 5100

MSI GX640 Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN dropping connection every ~10 minutes

Problem: Getting disconnected every 5-20 minutes. Network card: Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN.
Solutions tried: Router restarted? No idea what to do, googling it yielded no viable results, even though I can't say I'm pro at googling. Found no drivers on MSI homepage.

Further information:
My MSI GX640 had problems with heating and was sent to be repaired and got its heatzink switched. I started getting disconnects every 10 minutes or so, sometimes less than a minute apart, sometimes up to 20 minutes without a disconnection.
Don't really know what information you might need, so please do tell if something is missing.

Those are not the newest: http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=nbdriver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1998
You'll get the newest at: http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/detect.htm - click the check buttom and follow steps. <- These are from 18-10-2010
But yeah you'll might need to change which wireless channels you are on. If you aren't using Wireless connection then you might have to check your LAN card drivers or this can allso be caused by your ISP or bad connection on your internet line.

Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN not connecting

I am having an issue getting the Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN on my HP Pavilion dv7-1275dx to connect to my wireless router (Zyxel P334WT). It would intermittently connect, then drops off for no apparent reason, and then refuses to connect for days. I contacted HP support and we spent three hours trying to fix the problem, to no avail. Strangely enough, when I stick my Netgear WG111v2 USB wireless adapter into the computer, I am able to connect to my network with no problem. The computer runs Windows Home Vista 64 bit. Thanks in advance for your help.

ok everybody you are not the only one my pavilion dv6000 has the exact problem and i just sent it to hp to get my motherboard changed and i still have problems btw <text deleted> Message Edited by adybotchev on 07-23-2009 01:46 AMMessage Edited by adybotchev on 07-23-2009 01:47 AMMessage Edited by WendyM on 07-23-2009 07:08 AM

T61p Intel Wireless Wifi Link 4965 AGN driver upgrade

Hi,
I have T61p (XP 32bit) with wifi Intel Wireless Wifi Link 4965 AGN. Recently I tried to upgrade driver to version 13.xxxx but after installing the driver the wifi card doesn't work. To make it work I had to revert the driver to version lower then 13. Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thanks

did you download the Lenovo driver, or did you down load the driver from Intel?
Lenovo writes alot of their own drivers for things like wifi cards, its possible that by downloading Intel's driver, it isn't compatable with thinkpads.

Hi
Check if Wlan card use the Draft N standard.
You can choose this in device manager -> WLan card properties -> Advanced tab
As far as I know the WLan card is Intel 5100AGN.
Check if an WLan driver update would help too

Wifi link 5100 in X200 shows disconnected

My X200 stop connecting with my wifi network. The troubleshooting in the hardward tool, it says "the wireless adaptor is disabled or uninstalled". I have checked and bluetooth is working fine.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Try the following:-
-Make sure that the hardware switch on the left is turned on (although I guess it already is since your Bluetooth is working).
-Press Fn-F5 -> Radio on the wifi.
-Go in the BIOS -> Config -> Network -> make sure internal wireless is turned on.
-Reinstall the wifi driver:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70476
-If you use Access Connections, then uninstall it.
Keep us updated.
