T61 Wireless Drivers

i downgraded my T61 from Windows Vista to Windows xp SP2 using the recovery CD of the same system ,, now my Wireless is not working i tried to download the drivers from the Lenovo site but they are not working. The system is not showing any device driver error in Device manager. Can you assist on how to make the wireless work in XP environment.

I had the same issue and ajkula66 pointed me to this file which worked.
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70504
After downloading, go into C>Drivers>Win>Wlanint and run the setup file from there.
I saw it said it supports a T61.. re-read and verify.
Hope it helps you like it did me

T61 Wireless Repeatedly Turns Off Windows Control

Upgraded firmware in my wireless router, and now my T61 can't connect wirelessly.
Wireless Network Connection is properly identified, Signal Strength is Excellent, speed is 54 Mbps. Status is Limited or no connectivity.
Something keeps turning off my Wireless Zero Configuration Service. EIf I start it manually, and check off "Use Windoes to configure my wireless network setting,", I get wireless access back. But those actions get reversed when I reboot the computer.
What can be causing this?
In case it's relevant, the Lenovo PC Doctor 5 wireless troubleshooting test fails on the TCP/IP Network Connection Test, saying "Cannot Run". That happens even if I've gotten my wireless connection working.

Hello,
Have you tried upgrading the ThinkPad T61's wireless drivers as well? If so, did that make any difference?

Need wireless drivers for Satellite A100-259

Hi
Had to reformat my daughters laptop (A100-259 PSAA2) due to virus issues and am in the process of rebuilding it. Almost there but can't seem to get the wireless bit to work. Nothing appears in the system tray even when it's switched on (little switch on the right has the light on). I assume because i've reinstalled XP that i need to reinstall the wireless drivers but i can't seem to find them on the toshiba web site (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK). It only shows the Atheros management utility.
Any advice would be greatly appreciate especially as i'm pretty new to this kind of stuff and she has lost the manual that came with the laptop.
many thanks
Norrie

Hi!
I dont know why no WLAN drivers are available for this A100 model and Windows XP but you can search for an other A100 model (for example Satellite A100 PSAA8).
Then you will find an Atheros WLAN driver for Windows XP and it should also work.

HP all in one ms237 cant get wireless drivers to work

Hi i have a HP all in one PC, ive had this PC for a very long time, we upgraded to windows 8 and i dont remember how but i did manage to get wireless drivers on it at one point. the PC's hard drive went out and so i bought a new one and re-installed windows 8 (64 bit) onto it and now i cant get wireless drivers to get installed on it. I tried running the drivers with windows 7 compatability but no dice. I also tried different versions of the driver and still no luck, device manager will see the wireless card but says its not working properly (driver issue) the weird thing is that when i uninstall the drivers for it i can see the adapter in adpater settings, however when i install newer drivers and it goes back to being non existent lol. Any ideas?

Hello @rapid3642,
I understand that you are having issues getting your wireless to work on your HP Pavilion All-in-One MS237 Desktop PC running Windows 8. As you probably have already figured out there are no Windows 8 drivers for your computer. I can see why you would have issues installing Windows 7 drivers on a Windows 8 computer. What you probably did initially was upgrade your Windows 7 to Windows 8 with the driver already installed. Unlike a new Windows 8 installation where you need to install the drivers an upgrade will already have drivers installed and the operating system is simply replacing what is needed without having to go through the installation process.
I would recommend that you either install your original Windows 7 and then upgrade to Windows 8 or you may want to look at replacing the 802.11 b/g/n PCI express wireless half-length mini card with one that is compatible with Windows 8.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Scientific Linux On G50 Laptop No Wireless Drivers

I bought a brand new G50 laptop with a core i5 intel processor for my business as I do with every computer I installed scientific linux and the wireless drivers aren't available.
I need to find some that will work in a bad way.

Maybe try System76: http://system76.com/index.php?cPath=28
I think they use open source drivers for everything, except the ones with Nvidia cards that probably use the closed source Nvidia drivers (not a problem on Arch obviously). I've heard a lot of good things about System76, and they even sent me free Ubuntu stickers
EDIT: Looks like they use "Intel Wi-Fi Link 5100" for wireless, at least on the one that I checked. Here's more info: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wir … 000-series The firmware it talks about I belive is available on the Install CD as long as you tell it to install, or of course with pacman (duh).
Look at the "Windows" button

Wireless Drivers... Error :/

Hello all!!!. I Was able to Install a Full Arch Linux Install including a Full GUI (GNOME). Now i'm installing this on a MacBook Pro so this is INTEL hardware. I'm running the x86_64 version. Now im trying to install my Wireless drivers (Broadcom BCM312) Now i was able to compile and install YAY!. Using Makepkg and Pacman install method. Now following this guide to install http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312 . I Now to do these following commads
# modprobe lib80211_crypt_tkip
# modprobe wl
# insmod /lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko
Now when i do this command i get the following error in Terminal: WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf line 5: ignoring bad line starting with 'MODULES=(!snd_pcsp). Im getting this for "modprobe lib80211_crypt_tkip"
now when i do this command i get the following error in Terminal: WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf line 5: ignoring bad line starting with 'MODULES=(!snd_pcsp)'. Im Getting this for "modprobe wl"
and Last but not least when i do this command i get the Follow error in Terminal: insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko': -1 File exists. And im getting this for "insmod /lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko". Please assist!
Thanks! And this is my Offical first post in Arch Linux Forums ::)

Correct - no bumping. See here for details on this and other guidelines for using this forum.
Re your issue - the first message is quite clear IMO. Line 5 of your modprobe.conf is not in the correct format i.e. it's a bad line, so modprobe is ignoring it. It also says it is a warning, not an error. If you want it to go away, fix line 5.
The second message is an error, due to a mistake on that wiki page. Use either modprobe or insmod (preferably modprobe) to load the wl driver, but not both.

Is there an installation ISO with preloaded wireless drivers?

I have no access to cabled networking right now, and I want to install Arch.

The installation ISO has a standard Arch kernel, which includes many wireless drivers. But if you need an additional driver that is ot provided by the kernel, you will need to build it yourself.
Maybe instead of just indicating that you have no networking, it would be better to actually indicate what kinds of problems you are having, including what kind of hardware you have, whether you have found that it is supported by Linux or not, and whether this hardware is actually detected in a Linux environment.
There is a saying about there never being bad questions, but I have to clarify that there can certainly be very poorly formatted questions. Around here, if you want help, you need to be much much more explicit and show that you've taken some initiative in trying to find some information yourself.

Senforce 3.2 conflicts with Intel Wireless drivers

Hi, the company I work for is running Senforce 3.2 (the old name for Endpoint Security). It is conflicting with the Intel Wireless drivers in a batch of new laptops (both trying to start/stop the drivers at same time).
Would like to know if anyone has seen similar behaviour, or what a possible solution might be.
Many thanks.

Wireless drivers for toshiba satelite C850-F228

This driver should be the right one.

But you probably need to set up the motherboard first by installing the Intel chipset and display software.

Trying to patch my wireless drivers, kernal issues.

Im trying to patch my wireless drivers while following http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compat-wireless
Now heres what my issue is, in the make file it looks for my directory "/usr/src/linux-3.8.*-1-ARCH", it uses "uname -a" to do so, but what ive ran into is that that folder is alway 1 number ahead of my actual kernel version.
EX:
uname -a shows me:
3.8.5-1-ARCH
While the only folder i have in /usr/src is:
/usr/src/linux-3.8.6-1-ARCH/
So its 6-1 when in reality my kernal is 5-1.
I went in and manually edited that since i knew that would be no biggie, then when i ran "make" as normal user it came up with this new error:
make[3]: *** [/home/dyzaster/Downloads/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/drivers/bcma/main.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [/home/dyzaster/Downloads/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/drivers/bcma] Error 2
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/dyzaster/Downloads/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-3.8.6-1-ARCH'
make: *** [modules] Error 2
So with this thread i have 2 questions, first off, is it normal for the folder and kernel version to be off like that? Im assuming no, and if not then how do i fix that? And most importantly what is this error and what do i do at this point?
Thank you for any and all feedback

You probably didn't paste the line which has the actual error.
The page you linked to is for older kernels, it links to http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcg … t-drivers/, which has stuff for the 3.8 kernel.
There are some compat-drivers packages in AUR.
What patch(es) are you trying to apply?
I need to patch 2 drivers:
rtl8192cu (Which is a USB Dongle)
and
iwlwifi (Build in Athros wifi card+Bluetooth)
And i would rather use source for this then use the AUR, just to make sure its correct.
I dont see 3.8.6-1 there, because im sure you know more then i do about the kernel, which version should i use? "compat-drivers-3.8-1", or "compat-drivers-3.8-1-u"?

Does the core install media include wireless drivers?

I was originally planning on doing a net install but that would require me to hook up to a wired connection, does the core install media include wireless drivers so I can connect via wireless? I use an intel wireless card that was supported out of the box on my previous arch install, no ndiswrapper or anything like that needed. Thanks in advance.

Firmware for all cards are not available though due to silly licensing.

Thinkpad T61 wireless access connection problem and heat problem

My laptop keeps heating up ALOT i've been using tpfancontrol to make my fan go really fast and to cool it down. Anyone have a clue what to do about that? It automatically sets itself to smart (fan control config). Also my access connections has been working really bad lately. It won't connect anywhere. When i press fn+f5 and click on the network i want to connect to it would show connection successful and say applying wireless settings with a x next to it. Anyone know what to do about this?! cause i installed and uninstalled and nothing is working =[. Newest access connections and updated wireless drivers. Wireless zero connection is working fine though.

Wireless drivers for 2373-82U (Thinkpad T40)

I've rebuild a T40 and I'm having problems connecting wirelessly.
I've tried both of the following drivers below:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-59438
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70504
Currently using LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter v.1.2.5.37
I can scan for available networks, but cannot connect to them. It's possible, the wireless card is faulty.
Noticed the following items in system log
-The WLAN transport service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified
-The Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi service service depends on the WLAN Transport service which failed to start becuase of the following error: The system cannot find the file specified
-The Intel PROSet/Wireless SSO service service depends on the WLAN Transport service which failed to start becuase of the following error: The dependency service or group failed to start.
This is driving me nuts. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!
The first driver is the correct one. You may want to re-install it, then go to C>Drivers>Win>Wlanint and run the setup file from there.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George
