T42 - 2373-4WU WLAN Driver Problem

Hello,
I have searched the forum but couldn't find the answer.
A friend of mine brought me a T42 (2373-4WU), hard drive was dead so we bought a new HDD and installed it.
I reinstalled Windows XP PRO (SP3) and got all the drivers from IBM site all of them are working except the WLAN.
I don't know which brand/model is used in this notebook (since it has the Centrino sticker I am guessing it should be one of the Intel ones) there are 9 different drivers on the support site (Onlye 8 of them is actually available, 1 link is broken) for this model and none of them is matching this card. I am about to go crazy, how can I know which WLAN card is hidden in this machine?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Update:
The one driver that had a broken link was the one I needed (1rwc89ww.exe), it came back online and resolved my problem.

MEGA865 Wireless (WLAN) driver problem.

Hi,
I have a MSI 865, and am having trouble getting the onboard Wireless network to work.
In Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP SP2, and Windows XP SP1, (which is all I've tried), the wireless card drivers don't work.
Every other driver is correctly installed, and under Device Manager, "Ethernet Controller" appears. When I try to update the drivers in any possible way (Windowsupdate, Search for drivers, Let me specify drivers, Update drivers, right click on the driver-INF file and click INSTALL, run the setup program, etc), it will always fail at installing the drivers.
If I try to customly select the files (specify location), it will say that there is no information about my hardware in there.
Now I'm pretty sure I purchased an 865 Deluxe - but I have no idea how to tell. And since I was told it has Wireless onboard, and the only unknown device is showing up as "Ethernet Controller" with all but the wireless card installed, I have good reason to believe that it's the wireless card.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? I don't have any other wireless hardware, except an iBook with Wireless and an access point (Billion router).
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

The wired network does show up as Broadcom 440X for me. I've tried removing these drivers, and installing for the other "Ethernet device" listed first, but to no avail.
I've also tried to use the "RALink RT2400" drivers, but they still don't work. Is it possible that my WLan card is somehow busted? Even though it knows something is there, nothing recognizes?

WLAN Driver problem for HP Touchsmart IQ772

Hi All I have had a HDD failure on my IQ772 so have had to scrap it and put a replacement in. I have installed Vista Home Premium 64 bit but the system no longer recognises the wireless card. The device manager states that the HW is not recognised and there is no driver. Obviously I can't connect the PC to the internet to download a river or scan the system so I am using my laptop to try and download drivers onto USB sticks and transfer across but I can't get anything to work. I have tried all th drivers on the HP website. where can I find an orignal full set of drivers for the PC or at very least a driver the wireless which simply shows as "USB2.0 WLAN" ? Thanks

WLan driver installation solved WLan connection problems on Satellite P200

After 2 fruitless days of trying to get my wireless adapter to recognize my home network I finally stumbled on the solution. I have a Satelitte P200 which used the AtherosAR5007EG adapter.
If you go back to the Windows XP 32 bit drivers it works like a charm. Installed the new driver and it found my network right away and I could get on the internet.

Hi
You are a owner of the new P200? Its a great notebook I like the design
Anyway thanks for the great info and I wonder that a XP WLan driver works with Vista OS
Bye

Error building RT2860 WLAN driver in kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.4.25.el5.i686

Hello,
I installed VM Server v2.2.1 (kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.4.25.el5.i686) and am trying to build the RT2860 WLAN driver from source (2010_07_16_RT2860_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.0). I installed package kernel-ovs-devel-2.6.18-128.2.1.4.25.el5.i686 and when I run make I get the following compile error:
error: expected identifier or '(' before 'void'
The offending snippet of code, from a header file, is:
typedef VOID (*STATE_MACHINE_FUNC)(VOID Adaptor, MLME_QUEUE_ELEM Elem);
typedef struct STATEMACHINE {
ULONG Base;
ULONG NrState;
ULONG NrMsg;
ULONG CurrState;
STATE_MACHINE_FUNC *TransFunc;
} STATE_MACHINE, *PSTATE_MACHINE;
The odd thing is, I'm able to build the source when I replace kernel-ovs-devel-2.6.18-128.2.1.4.25.el5.i686 with kernel-devel-2.6.18-128.2.1.4.25.el5.i686 or with kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-128.2.1.el5.i686 but then, of course, I get an "Invalid module format" error when I try to install the module (/sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko).
The issue is probably very simple to solve, but I'm not much of a C programmer so it's not clear to me why the compiler is choking on the snippet above.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Matt

This issue has been resolved. The problem was, we were (attempting to) use EMC PowerPath (/dev/emcpower* devices) but the default SCSI devices (/dev/sd*) were being discovered and used as path to storage.
The solution was to edit /etc/sysconfig/oracleasm and add "emcpower" to the ORACLEASM_SCANORDER parameter and "sd" to the ORACLEASM_SCANEXCLUDE parameter. Once we did that, failovers are working successfully.

Trouble installing WLAN Driver on Satellite C850-1CW

I've had to reinstall the Windows that the laptop came with (I'm now on Windows 7) and so I need to find all the drivers myself. This one is proving to be a huge problem.
According to System Information the WLAN Card's PCI ID is
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV _8723&SUBSYS_072310EC&REV_00\4&13FD83EA&0&00E1
Which leads me to believe the WLAN Card is Realtek 8191SE. I went to Realtek website and even check other websites and tried downloading and installing every driver that seems to fit that card but none have worked and the Network Controller remains unrecognized.
Any ideas?
(Bluetooth and Ethernet drivers installed with no problems, by the way)
Thanks

try this driver:

WLAN Driver not working (Tecra-R950-116 PT534E-00E00CGR)

I'am stuck with installing the WLAN Driver for the above mentioned Notebook on our preconfigured Windows 7 64bit image.
It seems to be a combined WLAN and Bluetooth Card (Atheros AR9485WB-EG Wireless). Unfortunately the problem is complicated by the fact that the Modell is NOT in the Support database of Toshiba. maybe because it was custom tailored for our organization.
So neither "autodetect my Model" or entering Serial number on Toshiba Support works, just yields "Model not recognized". Not very professional.
After putting the Image on the Notebook there are 4 unrecognized devices in device Manager.
One is labeled Network Controller, 3 more are unknown.
I downloaded the official Driver for Atheros from Toshiba homepage.
It installs without error message but device is still shown as non-functional in device Manager.
In Toshiba Support Forums I picked up the tip to install BT Filter Driver package first but didn't help.
I tried 3rd Party Drivers. There was an constant error of either "Access Violation" or "file not found".
I didn't save the Image the Notebook was shipped with.
Ordering recovery media would lead to big administrative Overhead because it requires credit Card or payment in advance.
Anything more I can do ?

Hi
The notebook supports the Atheros b/g/n WB225 WLan card including the BT functionality.
The Atheros driver from the Toshiba EU driver page should be compatible:
[Wireless Lan Driver v 9.2.0.489|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=5&selSeries=241&selProduct=7562&selSh ortMod=3563&language=13&selOS=30&selType=all&yearu pload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=a llMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=al l&selectedLanguage=13&type=all&page=5&ID=82924&OSI D=30&driverLanguage=42]
You have to pay attention to the BT function you have to install WLan driver, then Atheros BT filter package and then the Toshiba BT stack in order to get the BT and Wlan working.

G510 Windows 7 WLAN driver doesn't work

My G510 came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed. I didn't want that, so I installed Windows 7 instead. After that, I downloaded this driver (WLAN Driver (Atheros, Broadcom, Realtek) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Lenovo G410, G510) using a different computer. I copied the driver to a USB thumb drive. Then I installed the driver on the G510.
The driver installed without any errors. However, I still can't enable the wireless adapter. Device manager shows missing drivers for several components (as expected) under "Other devices" but I am not sure which one is the wireless adapter:
BCM43142A0 (I believe this is the bluetooth adapter)
Ethernet Controller
Network Controller
PCI Simple Communications Controller
SM Bus Controller
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
Unknown device
USB2.0-CRW
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections shows no network adapters at all, but Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features shows Lenovo_Wireless_Driver is installed.
When the installer runs, it copies the files from the "C:\drivers\WLAN Driver (Atheros, Broadcom, Realtek)\Broadcom\6.30.233.75\Driver\Win8" directory to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\Lenovo_Wireless_Driver\Win8" directory. I believe the problem may be that this is in fact a driver for Windows 8 and not for Windows 7 as indicated.
I thought at first I may have just downloaded the wrong driver (I was careful to select the right one), but after downloading it again, I confirmed that I have the correct installer with the file name wlan125w7u1.exe.
I've tried re-installing the driver several times as an administrator, rebooting before and after each install. I've also tried Fn+F5 and Fn+F7, which does nothing.
Edit: I almost forgot the best part. I called Lenovo technical support last night, who told me I must contact premium technical support in the morning (they were closed at the time). But premium technical support refuses to help me with this problem unless I am willing to pay $59, or $170 for a one-year support subscription, as they consider it a software support issue.

hi FoulSynthesis,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Your issue might be similar to this thread.
If you have the Broadcom 43142 Wireless LAN Adapter (BCM43142) with the following Hardware ID then you may wanna check the driver below:
Hardware ID:
USB\VID_04F2&PID_B3BB&REV_1152&MI_00
USB\VID_04F2&PID_B3BB&MI_00
Driver:
Broadcom BCM43142 Wireless LAN Driver (802.11b/g/n)
h0wg01ww.exe
10.6 MB
If the driver above doesn't work for you, kindly follow this guide on how to find the hardware ID of the Wi-Fi card (it's the one labelled Network Controller underDevice Manager > Other Devices) to correctly identify the appropriate Windows 7 driver.
Regards

Can not instal Win7 WLAN Driver for Satellite C660-168

I can't install WLAN driver on my Satellite C660-168 after Windows 7 installing.
What's the problem?

Hi Admiral,
And why you cant install it? Do you get an error message or what happens exactly?
As PauPau wrote you have Broadcom WLAN card so you have to download Broadcom WLAN driver that can be downloaded on Toshiba WLAN portal.
Before installing the driver make sure you are logged in as Administrator or with Administrator rights. ;)

Max HDD size on T42-2373-F1G ? Can it take more than 40GB?

Hi. I have a T42-2373-F1G and if I understand the T42 hardware manual correctly, it can only accept a 40GB drive (and that is what is currently installed, the original). Is this correct? Is it possible that it will anyway accept another higher capacity?
Thanks!

any PATA 2.5 inch format HDD will be fine as long as its 9.5 mm in thickness.
The largest capacity drive in the PATA format is 250 gig.

Lenovo G510 Graphics Cards Driver Problem

Hi!
I just bought the Lenovo G510 Laptop, with an Radeon 8750, and installed Windows 8 64 Bit.
After installing the drivers from the provided CD, I get the following Bugcheck error code in WhoCrashed
0xA0000001 (0x5, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
when rebooting ,or when I try to open the Catalyst Control Center.
Actually the AMD graphics card driver seems to be responsible, as this problem does not occur until I install this driver.
I tried to use the driver provide at the Lenovo support page too (for both Windows 8 and 7), with the same result. The ThinkVantage System Update does not install an AMD graphics driver at all.
Accordding to WhoCrashed atikmdag.sys causes this error.
I would highly appreciate any help!

Hi Aimor,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the Wireless driver is not getting installed in your G510 Laptop, I suggest you to download a fresh copy of the driver from the below mentioned link and while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error:
WLAN Driver (Atheros, Broadcom, Realtek) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
The trick is finding what data.
By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
Back up the system first of course,
Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.
