S230u Thinkpad Twist Intel Wireless Card Compatability?

Is there an official list as to what Wireless Cards will work with the Lenovo Twist. I know when they were sold you had two options of cards, and had to decide if you wanted the Intel which supported Miricast or the Broadcom version which supported 5Ghz. Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 BGN & BT 4)Thinkpad a/b/g/n Wireless & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 ABGN & BT 4.0) Now there are Intel Cards out that support all of the above such as the Advanced-N 6235, but I can find no information if this or any other Intel cards will work with the Thinkpad Twist. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

There was an interesting post on Amazon about wireless cards for the Twist. I'm going to try to upgrade from my Broadcom to an "Intel WiFi part 2230BNHMW chip with "FRU P/N 04W3765" written right on the face of the card" on my 3-year-old Twist, based on the poster's info: "Some Twists come with WiDi support and some don't. Mine didn't. It had the newest dual band (2.4 and 5 g) WiFi card that doesn't support WiDi because it isn't made by Intel. Lenovo did this all to save a couple of bucks. So I brought a WiFi card that did support WiDi and Lenovo had whitelisted the card and I had to return it to get a single band, "Lenovo certified", Intel chip. It would have been nice if Lenovo stated that it didn't have the correct WiFi card for WiDi. You will need the Intel WiFi part 2230BNHMW chip with "FRU P/N 04W3765" written right on the face of the card - the 04W3765 is the Lenovo part number. This is the only chip that will get past Lenovo whitelisting that will make WiDi work. Using the new Intel Wifi card had no impact the Twist's WiFi performance at my house. When I installed the WiFi chip, I didn't have to update any drivers. The computer automatically did it upon booting. The chip was very easy to install and if you go to the Lenovo Twist support website the manual shows you exactly how to do it. However, I did have to update the Audio driver using the Lenovo driver website. This is important because I updated all of the drivers using the Lenovo website when I got the computer. However, the Lenovo website failed to update the audio drivers. So when I first used the WiDi I had no sound. It was very easy to update but you will likely need to update the audio drivers separately should you do what I did. Once I installed the WiDi software for Windows 8 (from the Lenovo Website) and added the Neatgear Push2TV 3000 to my TV, it worked like a charm (I also updated the software on the Push2TV 3000 - PTV3000 that I purchased from Amazon. However, I don't think that this was critical)."

T41 Thinkpad with Anatel wireless card problem

I am working on a Thinkpad with the following information:
T41
Type 2373-9FU
S/N 99-xxxxx
04/07
I tried the Intel drivers that were suggested but, once nothing worked I opened up the machine to find an Anatel wifi card.
The Anatel card has the following information:
Anatel Ambit Microsystem
T60H786U
IC: 349E-T60H786U
CMII ID: 2003DJ1604
If anyone could please help I have been working on this for 2 weeks and this is the final step I need to cover.

Cisco Wireless card software for new laptops

Since new laptops no longer have PCMCIA slots, and Cisco doesnt sell a compatible card, at least none I can find, will their site survey tool work with the built in cards? I need to do a site survey for implementing a MESH, and dont have the software anymore, mine died a horrible death.

tahequivoice wrote:Do they also have a magic pill that convinces he who spends money to buy one? I do about 3 surveys a year, so hard to justify it. What other purpose can it serve?
Try Ekahau Site Survey or, better yet, TamoGraph Site Survey. A far more attractive price tag and excellent quality. TamoGraph should support virtually any built-in adapter, unless it's Ralink-based.

T40 Intel 2915a/b/g wireless card Unauthorized????

To get needed WPA2 security, I upgraded (?) my T40 from Cisco Wireless card to Intel 2915a/b/g. Now get error 1802 "unauthorized entwork card is plugged in". This is the card suggested by a 'guru' member of this forum.
What are my options? I need to access secured wireless networks.
Thanks for any help.

Most ThinkPads have a "white list" of cards in their BIOS, and will throw an error if the non-approved card is used.
If you Google the term "no-1802" you'll find the solution, although I don't endorse it personally.
Good luck.

Problem - wireless card discontected in windows xp

Hello
I'm having problems connecting to my home wireless network. I'm using my macbook booted in Windows XP. I can see my wifi network in the list but cannot connect. When I type "ipconfig" at the command line I get a message saying that my wireless card is disconnected !
Does anyone know how to re-connect the wifi card in windows ?
I know that the hardware is working because I'e connected to other wireless networks in various places.
If anyone has had a similar problem, I'd appreciate some tips
cheers

Fisrt of all, thanks for your reply Sandra.
I wrote the following commads in cmd.exe
--------> Compiling <--------
$:> g++ -c examp_1.cpp -I "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Berkeley DB 4.5.20\include"
and all did corectly i get my examp_1.o object file.
-------> Linking <--------
$:> g++ -o exampl_1 examp_1.o -L "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Berkeley DB 4.5.20\lib" -I "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Berkeley DB 4.5.20\db-4.5.20"
but i still get the same error.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As i understand without know enough about linking it's impossible for g++ (MINGW) to understand in linking step the .lib file which is Berkley DB's library for C/C++ API. The only that g++ tackles is .so or .a libraries and no .lib.
If you don't aggree with this I want to know your opinion.
As a result the only way to link correct an DB application with g++ is to Build the Berkley DB again with g++ something that is not so easy for me.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I Builded DB in Fedora 6 Linux Distribution. I did the make and the .libs directory inside the build_unix directory was created.
But I have similar problem to build my DB application.
I do the following 2 steps:
1. Compiling
g++ -c example_1.cpp
and I get the example.o object file. I don't understand why g++ didn't complain to include the .h files that demands Berkley DB.
2. Linking
g++ -o example example_1.o -L my_path/build_unix/.libs
And I get the known messages the same i get with MinGW's g++.
What does it happen in Linux environment? what arguments i don't give?
And one last question how s.o could find the default path that a linker automaticaly include its libraries? Is this standar for all GNU linux distibution.
I am writting this cause in Fedora there is in old DB distribution and i found it in /etc/libs (db-3XX.so) so I don't know what happens.
Thanks for your help and for your support I really appreciate it.

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.

George

WLC 5508/2504 - Wireless users having their Citrix sessions disappear randomly! Cisco APs, Intel Wireless Cards..

Last year we built a new citrix 6.5 farm on 2k8 r2 servers. Previously, we had a 4.5 farm running solid.
With the new farm, wiresless users connecting through ANY cisco wireless controller/ap will get disconnected at what seams "peak" times.
For example, a user will launch a published application at 8:05 in the AM, and a few minutes later; the application will just disappear. Within the mgmt console, it will show the session as disconnected. The users device will remain connected to the WLAN, and if they double click the application, it will relaunch immediately.
This never happened on our old farm! We are using the same laptops + some newer updated models.
It is also important to note that fat client/thin clients do not experience this at all. I can open an application on my desktop and leave it open all day, where as if I do such on a laptop it is bound to disappear atleast once during the day. Aside from hitting the WLC; both packets take the same path.
I'm working with Citrix right now gathering logs; but nothing is jumping out right away at us.
Has anyone here experience something similar?
This discussion is the same thing thats happening to me I believe;

If you need anymore information, please ask!

Configuring wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI

I'm not a newbie in linux but now faced with a trouble. I could not manage to set up the card properly. I just installed Arch 0.8 and it's not quite clear to me how to do this with Arch. I've read all available Arch's docs on this topic.
So my situation's the following:
I have the wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI and I've been using it with Slackware for a year. It works quite fine. But now, when I decided to move to Arch - I cannot set it up. My card's using `airo` module and it is loading well. All the present network devices are recognized. I can see this by ifconfig -a.
I have 2 NICs in my system:
1) simple Ethernet card - eth0. Is switched off in rc.conf
2) wireless. There are 2 different devices for it in my system: eth1 and wifi0 (and it's correct). I don't know why is it so and how about this with other wireless cards.
For example I placed here network configs from my Slackware which works well with them and expect your advice on how to do the same with Arch.
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:
##IPADDR[0]="" #wired NIC is off
##NETMASK[0]=""
##USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
##DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""
# Config information for eth1:
IPADDR[1]="xx.xx.225.8"
NETMASK[1]="255.255.255.0"
USE_DHCP[1]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]=""
# Default gateway IP address:
GATEWAY="xx.xx.225.254"
/etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf:
# Cisco/Aironet 4800/3x0
# Note : MPL driver only (airo/airo_cs), version 1.3 or later
00:0F:F8:*)
INFO="Cisco/Aironet"
ESSID="MoyEssid"
MODE="Managed"
KEY="xxxx-xxxx-xx open"
Here is the ifconfig and iwconfig output in Slackware:
ifconfig:

Who is aware - please describe or give me a link on this, how the two devises eth1 and wifi0 are connected to each other and how to set them up in Arch.
Thnx.

Excellent! It works! Thank U very much.
My conclusion - /etc/network-profiles/ is much more suitable way/place to set your wireless network parameters even it's quite steady.
And now I have a couple of extra questions:
1) What should I do with actual network parameters in rc.conf? Currently they looks like:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
NET_PROFILES=(tier)
and that looks and works OK. What about gateway? Should I comment it here or not?
2)Though everything works fine now, I can see that wifi0 device is not listed by ifconfig now (only by iwconfig), but in my Slackware system it is. Don't have I to mention my wifi0 device in network profile's section:
#WIFI_INTERFACE=wlan0 # use this if you have a special wireless interface
# that is linked to the real $INTERFACE
Thnx!
And sorry for ugly English

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Always disconnect

Wireless not connected media disconnected

I have a Compaq presario with wireless & wired lan, running winXP sp2 and all latest updates. I have comcast connection, motorola modem, vonage phone, linksys router nr041 then a linksys wrt45gs wireless router. I have upgraded the firmware also. I can connect to the wired connection with no problems. I cannot connect to the wireless because I get the message "no connection". when I look in the ipconfig I see the message "media disconnected". Contacted linksys and tried their suggestions, the wireless router resetting, both router resets, both router and modem resets and no luck. I changed the settings to remove all security, disabled my firewall, changed the channel to every one from 1-11. Still no connection. Anyone got any new ideas?

My computer must be unique. I have a Broadcom. At any rate after trying for weeks I managed to get it running. I did so many things I am not sure what ones worked. What I do know is HP was the most helpful in solving the issue. After I downloaded a couple of helper files and a couple of upgrades, it popped right up there. I still need to secure it but I am going to enjoy what I have for a couple of days before I change anything. (Scared). I live in a rural area so not worried much about someone accessing it for a couple of days.
Thanks fall all the help.

T540p Thinkpad Wireless card issue

Hi all,
My T540p just arrived and I promptly installed arch linux on it. To my surprise, the wireless card is not detected. I look up the specs on the lenovo site and it is just branded as "Thinkpad 2x2 wireless card", looking at hwinfo it turns out it is really a Realtek RTL8192EE card, and upon looking at reviews on the net for this particular card, it seems that even in windows there are issues making it work consistently. There are no drivers provided by Realtek nor Thinkpad, only the 8192E, CU and SE series are out. After calling support for a couple of days (my warranty did not showed up in their database) I was told there is nothing they can do given the machine was shipped with windows 8. This situation is really dissapointing to me given the past Thinkpad models are great on linux. If you are considering buying this machine, just go with the intel card. If any of you have been on the same boat, is there anything else I could do besides havng to buy the card out of pocket to make this work?

If you just got it, you could probably return it and order one in a different configuration.
I, too, recommend getting the Intel card where possible. It just seems Intel has fewer support issues than other wireless cards.
For what it's worth, with some patience it's not horribly difficult to replace the card. I had to replace a fan on a Thinkpad X-series and in the process learned about replacing the wireless card. If you follow Lenovo's manual (free) and go slow, it's not complex.
Best of luck

Cisco 340 wireless card with Mac OS 9?

I'm trying to get a Cisco 340 Wireless pcmcia card working with my G3 laptop (wallstreet) running 9.2.2. Can anyone tell me what software I need to get to make this work? Is the driver included with Airport software? Is there a generic wireless card system extension that I need? I'm kind of lost here.
Thanks
