Toshiba portege 2000 and wireless problem

Hi,
I have a following problem with wirelesss card (I use hermes module).
# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
I know that sit0 is my wireless card (MAC matches), but as you see it does not appear as a wireless card.
Any suggestions?

sit0 isnt your wireless card, it's a pseudo interface, apparently for allowing ipv6 tunneling through ipv4.. or so google says.
you sure it uses the hermes module, and have you got it loaded?

  • Toshiba Portege M700-S7003X startup problem

    I have a Toshiba Portege M700-S7003X (Part#PPM70U-03M01J; Serial#38084271H). Few days ago while I was working on the notebook suddenly a message showed up to restart the computer for some update purpose. However, when I tried to restart seems to me the computer is crashed. Right now whenever I try to startup it shows up messages: Safe Mode; Safe Mode with Networking; Safe Mode with Command Prompt; Last known Good config that Start windows normally. However, I tried with every option and at every case gets a quick blue screen which doesn't let me really see what's been said and then restarts.
    I would highly appreciate if anyone suggest me the possible ways to solve the problems.
    Thanks!!

    That's a good sign. It usually means the hard drive contains some corrupt files and can be repaired, but it's not easy.
    You should boot to the Recovery Console and try to resurrect the hard drive by running chkdsk /r. See KB297185.
    Unless you have access to a Windows XP installation CD, you will need the downloadable Setup boot floppies. And you may need a PA3109U-3FDD USB Floppy Disk Drive.

  • Mic problem of  windows 7 on a MacBookPro and wireless problem with macosx

    recently, I installed windows 7 on my MacbookPro, it is MBP985(which has a sound card from Cirrus Logic).
    everything works well but two things:
    1)the first is about the microphone. The mic works, it even can be used with "windows speech recognition" which is complex use of the mic.I also can use the sound recorder and playback the sound.
    but I just cant use the mic for skype or OICQ(a popular instant messenger in china), i dont know why but i'm sure this can be fix in some proper ways.
    before that ,i try a lot, but just cant get it work.
    i need some help!
    2)it is about the wireless (or wifi issues). I can access the network easily both macosx and win7 wiht my home wireless router, but with the macosx, it drops frequently, diagnostication always ask me to restart the router. I living in a house with 7 bedroom, that means i'm not the only one use the netwrok, so i cant restart the router so many times. So i'm dispported by macosx a little bit in this case(windows never give me this problem to me).i just dont know how to fix it.

    another problem, when in college, it is another situation.
    my college is Sheffield Hallam University. SHU provide wifi in various of area. \
    Macosx can easily access the net but the windows not, so i'm so confused by these situation.
    Fortunately,I'm lucky have two different lastest OS on my macbookpro, if one of them have some problem i can switch ot another quickly.
    But I definitely need some help with those things, if some can give me some advice i do appreciate it!

  • Tablet PC tx2000 - display and wireless problems

    Hey folks. I have an HP tx2000 tablet laptop with a year-from-purchase warranty that expired just last month, and now two serious and potentially debilitating problems have occured. I've spent about four or five hours with the nice people from Livechat, who were patient on the whole and managed to temporarily fix one of the issues.
    1) The wireless device cannot be detected - The laptop's wireless card is not being read. This is a big downer for me because I use wireless exclusively at home and work and I really don't want to shell out bucks for a smart card to replace technology on a laptop that is 1 year and 1 month old. The first thing I tried was re-installing Vista. The wireless card was detected and worked just dandy until as soon as I restarted the computer. Then it disappeared from the device manager list. I re-installed a second time and the same thing happened. Livechat directed me to a new BIOS to install, so I installed that, too. The same thing happened. Then Livechat instructed me to remove the HP Wireless Assistant program, and bingo! The wireless worked fine, and through many reboots. For a day and a half. Now it cannot found again.
    2) When the laptop enters sleep or hibernation, the display will not 'wake up' again. The fan will hum, the leds will flash, but the display refuses to wake. The only way to solve this is to reboot the computer. This also happens /every time/ I power on the computer cleanly. The display will not activate, no post screen, no system beep a few seconds afterwards. The only solution is to hold the power slider down until the system does a hard shut down, and then click it again to turn the computer back on. This usually works, though sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries.
    The Livechat solution was to update my video drivers, and they sent me a nice handy nvidia update.  Upon install restart, the computer behaved normally, but once I restarted again (After wrapping up the marathon Livechat session at 5 in the morning) the blank-screen problem occured. I also tried to install the latest drivers from the nvidia website (which were updated from the ones HP gave me), to no effect. 
    I've read about both of these problems on various internet boards; wireless failure seems to be a widespread thing with Pavilions and the chipset, though this is a rather unique case in that reinstalling does allow the system to immediately 'find' it and it works fine, and HP Livechat provided me with a working solution where the wireless ran for a day and a half and through ten or twelve power ups/power downs. The screen problem, however, seems very common and is frustrating to the extreme for myself and several others. Many hypothesize it involves the tablet technology. My previous laptop was a Dell Inspiron with a large, 2" diameter hole burned into the screen, and Dell Support wouldn't even talk to me even though they had a uniquely extended warranty for what was a major manufacturing problem. Too bad, I fell short of the 3-year warranty, and they would just shuttle me to a pay-for service as soon as I gave them my tags. I've lost all faith in Dell products as a result. HP, in contrast, has been very civil through the Livechat, and I read up on some of these forums.. it looks as if people know what they're doing here. I don't want to throw away more money on another laptop, and the tablet functions are the bomb. I just want a working laptop.
     Cheers,
    This question was solved.

    Nice, only took 'em 12 minutes to censor my post and remove mention of a certain web site. 
    To the Hewlett-Packard employees here, how does it feel to have to constantly cull posts on this particular issue day-in and day-out? I think that you guys have a better scope of this manufacturing problem and just how many people it is affecting. Certainly you know how mad they are. I do think your conduct has been fairly civil, but I find it absurd that as representatives of this company you continue to ignore the mounting evidence that we all have bad GPU-equipped laptops. 
    Then again, you probably can't do much about it, and I'm sure nobody above you is willing to consider the issue at hand and release a public response. I am confident that this arm of HP is ignoring their customers just as much as the other echelons I have visited in my quest to get a free repair.
    http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/ethics/
    From the above, 'Business Ethics' by HP:
    'We are passionate about customers; (Sure are!) 
    We have trust and respect for individuals; (I don't see the respect part, and we no longer hold trust for you.)
    We perform at a high level of achievement and contribution; (If achievement == making money by charging repairs to manufactured-defective laptops.)
    We act with speed and agility; (On ignoring, buffeting, delaying, and downright covering up this entire mess)
    We deliver meaningful innovation;
    We achieve our results through teamwork; and
    We conduct our business with uncompromising integrity. (Yeah, you sure haven't compromised with the THOUSANDS of PISSED OFF CUSTOMERS in this mess!)
    At HP we want to be a company that is known for its leadership in corporate ethics and responsibility. A company where employees are proud to work, and customers, partners and suppliers want to do business with.'
    I think HP is irresponsible not to re-address the issue of machines covered by the LWSE. I cannot say anything about corporate ethics here; all it translates into is finger-point-who-started-the-problem. As a customer, I no longer want to do business with HP. I don't know much about their partners or suppliers' feelings on this issue.
    However, to the censors:
    Is this a company in which you are proud to do the sort of work you do here?

  • IPad Sync and Wireless problem

    Suddenly my iPad 3 is taking a long time to find my router, even when it is in the same room. My Macbook and PC are not having any problems with the wireless. Also, I have my iPad connected to the Macbook via USB, but iTunes has been stuck on the Syncing iPad message for hours.
    I have the latest OS for all devices.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hello Chris,
    The following article may be helpful in getting your iPad to cooperate with your WiFi network.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    If your iOS device does not auto-join a Wi-Fi network you've already connected to
    Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
    Apple maintains a list of common or ambiguous SSIDs, including the default SSID for many commercially available access points, as well as the SSIDs "wireless" and "default".
    If you do have a common SSID, try changing your network name to something unique.
    I would also recommend checking out the "Additional Information" section, as well.
    Cheers,

  • 10.4.10 and wireless problems

    Hello,
    I think I may have the 10.4.10 problem -- here are my symptoms:
    Wireless icon in toolbar shows full strength
    Network control panel shows that I'm pulling a valid IP from the wireless router (in my case, 192.168.1.2)
    'Network Diagnostics' initially reports problems sometimes, but then figures out that everything is OK
    Router admin shows that internet is working, and indeed can connect through ethernet from router, and router is pulling a 'real' ip address from modem
    Firefox, Safari, Mail, Software update, etc can not connect to the internet.
    If Network Diagnostics can see that the settings are valid, why can't TCP/IP apps work? Is there some kind of bindings thing I can run that would work?
    I'm currently typing this with an ethernet cord hooked in, which is SO late 90's.
    This all happened when I updated to 10.4.10.
    a) How do you downgrade to 10.4.9?
    b) How do we notify Apple of this problem?
    c) Is it MacBooks only, or everyone?
    Thanks all!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response D, but actually the 192.168.1.x range is what my router gives -- my 'real' IP address goes to the router (a cheap netgear, but it's never given me any trouble) and the router assigns an internal IP to the wireless devices.
    So my 'real' (external) IP shows up in the router control panel (68.160.x.x @ last check) or via whatismyip.com etc, but the router also gives 192.168 addresses via DHCP. (In my experience, if the computer is truly not pulling an IP, it assigns itself one in the 169.254.x.x range.)
    That's what confuses me about this -- everything is working as it should... even Network Diagnostics (or whatever it's called) reports a working connection... and yet the connection somehow isn't working for any internet services.
    For a minute I thought maybe it was a binding type thing, where the TCP/IP request didn't know where to go, but it happens with mail and FTP as well, so that means that all the ports are blocked, right?
    I'm completely befuddled. Anyone know how to reinstall 10.4.9 just in case it's that? I downloaded the updater, but the installer won't let me downgrade...

  • Archlinux on toshiba portege p2000 (2000)

    Hi,
    I just got toshiba portege 2000 from my employer with windows xp on it. I would really like to install my favourite system (archlinux) on it, but I have no idea how. The ways I excluded are:
    1: CD instalation. The only cd-rom I have is on pcmcia, and I does not work on boon.
    2: USB stick install. Portege 2000 wont boot from usb.
    Do you have any ideas that could help me. I really like the hardware but I will give it to another employee if it doesn't run linux.
    Thanks in advance,

    Do you have a desktop computer you can take apart?  You can get adapters pretty cheaply to let you plug laptop drives into your desktop IDE controller.  So unplug all the desktops hard drives, and put the laptop drive as hda, and install as normal

  • Portege 2000 - Information needed

    Hi there!
    I need some special Information about the Toshiba Portege 2000, I hope anybody could help me.
    1. Which CPU can I build in? At the moment there is a Pentium 3 Mobile 750 MHz...Dos the Portege 2000 supports higher CPUs like 1 GHz or 1,13 GHz? Which socket has the P2000?
    2. How many RAM is supported?
    3. HDD-Support. At the moment Ive got a 30 GB. Support for more? Maybe 40 GB, or even 60 GB?
    Thanks so far! :)

    Why you dont install and use hardware diagnostic software like Everest home edition for example.
    Such software provides all infos and details.
    > Dos the Portege 2000 supports higher CPUs like 1 GHz or 1,13 GHz?
    This depends on the Chipset. Check the chipset and the specifications. The chipset details can be found on the Intel page. There you should find the info about the CPU compatibility.
    >2. How many RAM is supported?
    Only one slot is available and can be upgraded. You can upgrade the RAM max to 512MB
    >3. HDD-Support. At the moment Ive got a 30 GB. Support for more? Maybe 40GB or even 60GB?
    I think it should be possible to use the 40GB or 60GB.
    The difference between the 30GB and 60GB is not so huge.
    But you should firstly try with a 40GB enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface.
    bye

  • Wireless Problem in windows 7 intel wifi link 5100agn

    i bought a dv7 1270us laptop in january. everything was fine until the last 3 months i started having small problems in vista. it would take 10+ minutes to connect and the speed would go up and down. then i installed windows 7 and am either having problems with the card or driver but ive tried every driver i can find and nithing has worked.. the wireless drops randonly. when it drops it doesnt lose connection the signal drops all the way down to one bar and i get maybe 10Kbps of bandwith well it takes 2 minutes to load a page of this forum atleast. When it drops it also only drops for maybe 5-10 minutes or else it stays like that until i restart but resarting always fixes it tempoparily for 10 minutes or so. toaday i tried to disconnect and reconnect to my network. as soon as i cicked connect i got a blue screen it pointed torwards netw5v64.sys i have tried re installing the drivers multiple times and the problem isnt resolved. i have sent the laptop in twice in the last 2 months one for the blue ray drive and wireless problems i am having now. they sent it back with a new blue ray drive and a new antenna for my wireless saying the card was fina it was a driver and maybe a new antenna would help with connectivity. well they were wrong. i got it back and it started overheating to 90+ degrees celcius and wireless problems were still there even though they re-imaged the hard drive so all drivers should be perfect.so i sent it back again. now i just got it back and they cleaned the heatsink and completely ignored my wireless problems. the sheet that states the repairs that were done has a circle aroubd cleaned heatsink/fan and thats it n comments or anything. then to make the icing on the cake there is a 3 inch long fairly deep scrath on my laptop i take verygood care of all of my laptops so that i can sell them used for more than a scratched up one. i am very disappointed in hp and almost dont want to send it back and loose it for another week just to get it back without anything being done again i am almost certain they would re0image the hard drive again and send it back since they didnt even do that the second time. okay back on topic is there anything anyone has heard t fix this so i dont have to send it in again. any help is appreciated

    Intel! They make processors and a variety of motherboard hardware, but they seem to have a devil of a time making decent drivers. Particularly with their wireless NICs. Lately I’ve noticed a number of errors springing from the Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 AGN family of wireless adapters. They seem to cause random bluescreen errors on Windows Vista systems. Fortnuately, there is a viable workaround:
    -Right click on Computer and select Manage.
    -After Computer Management opens up, go to Device Manager.
    -In Device Manager, expand the Network Adapters category.
    -Right-click on “Intel (R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN” and select Properties.
    -In Properties, go to the Power Management tab.
    -Under the Power Management tab, make sure that “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” is unchecked.
    Apparently, the driver for the WiFi Link 5100 can’t properly handle the device going to sleep, and pulls down the whole system. Hopefully Intel will fix this in future driver updates. Until then, this workaround will have to do.

  • Sleep function = wireless problem?

    I have an Intel iMac 2.4 GHz/OS 10.5.2 (the earlier version of Leopard came pre-installed) and a lynksis router.
    Like many others I experienced an unstable wireless connection from day 1 with this computer. The other two Macs in the house, both running Tiger had and have no such problem.
    Changing the router channel from 6 to 3 seemed to help somewhat, but the problem persisted.
    I noticed it was worse when the computer had just been wakened from sleep. That is, the wireless signal would start strong then quickly fade away. I found that putting the computer back to sleep, then immediately waking it up would restore the signal, but I often had to do this a dozen times during a session of an hour or so.
    Since there seemed to be some connection between the sleep function and the wireless connectivity I decided to experiment. I went to System Preferences/Energy Saver and set the sleep function to Never. The screen is still set to black out after fifteen minutes. So now the computer is awake all the time, only the screen darkens after some inactivity.
    For three days now the wireless signal has been extremely robust - no fading out whatsoever and the bars have remained at full strength. This certainly doesn't explain the cause of the problem, but it does seem to be an effective work-around, at least so far.
    Has anyone else had a similar experience? And can anyone explain why the sleep function would affect wireless connectivity?

    That a graphics update would fix the sleep function (not to mention the associated wireless issues) seemed odd to me too. I'm just reporting what the Apple tech said. I do have the impression that if they really can't solve your problem their next objective is to get the caller off the line as pleasantly as possible. That may possibly be the case here.
    I would certainly be interested to know if anyone else has a similar problem. The two necessary conditions seem to be:
    1. Sleep function (as set from System Preferences) unreliable, e.g. doesn't always put the computer to sleep, sometimes invokes such a deep sleep that the computer must be unplugged to restart, sometimes wakes up by itself;and
    2. Wireless signal slows to a crawl shortly after awakening from sleep (and in my case, remains unstable, requiring toggling sleep on/off or airport card on/off to resume strong signal.)
    As long as I have the sleep function set to Never the wireless problem disappears. It's been almost two weeks now, so I'm pretty sure there's some link between the two conditions. After the last software update from Apple a couple of days ago I reset the sleep function back to 15 minutes and the wireless fade immediately started up again. Reset it to Never, and, voila!, no problem since.
    I hope anyone else who has both sleep and wireless problems will try this. So far it's the first reliable clue I've found regarding the issue of unstable wireless.

  • Toshiba Portege Problem: *Battery is not charging and web camera initialization failed.*

    Hi, 
    I am having problems with my Toshiba Portege laptop. 1) Once laptop opens, window appears which says, "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer." Not sure what happened why the web cam application did not run properly. 2) Battery won't charge. When clicking the battery icon, it just says, "0% available plugged in, charging." I  can not open my laptop when the cord is unplugged. 
    Appreciate if you can help me or any advice.
    Thanks,

    always good to tell what Portege and what system is running...
    anyway -
    to #1
    an autostart process requests the camera, maybe Skype?
    some web cams on USB ports do take some time
    been initialised especially when attached via hub.
    Windows boot sequences do not wait until they finished.
    if the camera is working after a while than thats here the
    case despite that message and it can be ignored.
    to #2
    forget the software symbol for the purpose of the question -
    on any notebook you should see a battery symbol/LED
    somewhere on the case. its yellowish/orange when
    charging green when battery is full.  if it doesn't change into green
    (overnight charging) the battery is faulty or even missing...
    regards

  • Toshiba Portege S100-S1133 Laptop - Intenet (Cable or Wireless) cuts off when phone rings

    Toshiba Portege S100-S1133 Laptop, Intel(R) Pentium(R) M, processor 1.73GHz 795MHz, 512 MB of RAM.  Internet (cable or wireless - COMCAST service) cuts off when the house phone (AT&T service) rings.  The HP Laptop in the house doesn't have this problem.  COMCAST can't fix the problem.

    The only way to fix the problem entirely is to not have any 2.4GHz cordless phones in the house. You can try to change the wireless channel on your router but it probably won't be far enough from the 2.4GHz phones to help. I assume when you say it shares internet you mean that your home computer is connected in the back with ethernet and that is why the internet stays up on it. Your MBP connects wirelessly so it disconnects when the phone is in use.
    Go to 192.168.1.1. Log in by leaving username blank and password is admin. [Follow these instructions|http://www.tutorial5.com/content/view/155/79> to change anything you need to (such as if you have unsecured wireless). Click wireless and under basic wireless settings you probably have channel 6 by default. Try channel 1. (Though you can also get into problems with wireless networks of neighbors interfering so download [Airport Radar|http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/networking_security/airportradar .html] and try to avoid channels that are nearby).
    As I said the only solution is not using 2.4GHz phones.
