Toshiba satellite 2450-s203 does not recognise atheros wlan card

Hi!
I have a toshiba satellite 2450-s203 and there is an embedded atheros wlan card -somewhere in the laptop-.
However, I am running win xp pro and the device manager DOES NOT FIND THE CARD!
It finds the ethernet card and a 1394 net adapter!
But not the WLAN card!!
Any ideas?! I have downloaded the wireless card's drivers from the site but with no luck!
What should I do?!
thanks!

Hi,
The W-lan card is optional to this model eg. it's not included in all machines. You need to purchase the correct module to get W-lan to work.
If the card would be installed in the machine, You should see either a yellow esclamation mark (!) or "unknown device" if You have uninstalled hw.

  • Can not use Atheros WLAN card on my Satellite A100-784

    I install the Atheros WiFi driver from the Toshiba drivers folder and I get a message saying "The device is not present or could have been ejected/unplugged from the system-Insert or reinsert now".
    The WiFi switch is switched on while it was being installed but t still does not work.
    Can someone help please...

    Hi,
    so you installed a mini-pci atheros card into your A100? Usually there shouldnt be any problems with that card. I have a couple of machines here at home, and my tecra 9100 which was
    primarly equipped with an intel card, works flawlessly with that atheros AR5005G card.
    Maybe you should re-seat the card and try it again. And try (if available) the old card, to make sure that the slot is working properly.

  • Emac does not recognise airport extreme card.

    I bought my emac less than a year ago and its running on the newest version of Mac osX. I also have a PC with broadband and a wireless router which is emitting. I was told that i needed to get an airport extreme card to let my mac use this internet aswell. I have bought the card and i installed the software on the disc and i then fitted the disc into my mac and i have checked to see that it is in firmly and so is the aerial. This said when i turn my emac on it does not search for available networks like it supposedly should and when i go into system profiler it says no information available for the airport card. I am not convinced that the disc actually installed anything onto my mac however since i cannot find any files that i would have thought would have come from the disc. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Emac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    P.O.R.G, Welcome to the discussion area!
    There is no need to install the software from the disc. OS X contains all of the software needed to support the AirPort Extreme card.
    The early eMac's require the original AirPort card instead of the AirPort Extreme card.
    If you are using the correct card and the card is not recognized in System Profiler, there are only 3 possibilities:
    The card is not installed properly.
    The card is defective.
    The eMac's motherboard is defective in the area interacting with the AirPort Extreme card

  • Lspci does not recognise my 11g card

    I've started a new Arch install on my laptop, in a separate partition form the existing Debian and Windoze. I'm using arch-0.7-beta2-base. The base install is complete, and I have network access via a PC Card wired NIC. However, I generally use this laptop wirelessly - no problem with either Debian or Windoze - but when I run lspci under Arch, I get the following:
    02:00.0 Network controller: 3Com Corporation: Unknown device 6001 (rev 01)
    I've had a look at /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable, and it contains the following correct information:
    0x10b7 0x6001 "prism54" "3Com Corp.|3cRWE154G72 Wireless LAN adapter"
    If the card worked, this wouldn't really matter, but when I modprobe the required prism54 driver, kernel.log shows the following:
    Nov 29 02:10:02 myhost Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2
    Nov 29 02:10:02 myhost ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
    Nov 29 02:10:02 myhost eth0: islpci_open()
    Nov 29 02:10:02 myhost eth0: resetting device...
    Nov 29 02:10:02 myhost eth0: uploading firmware...
    Nov 29 02:10:02 myhost prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890'
    Nov 29 02:10:02 myhost eth0: could not upload firmware ('isl3890')
    The firware file isl3890 is in the right location - /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware - and is the same as the file used under Debian, where it uploads with no problem.
    Now I had Arch 0.6 on here briefly before, and the card worked fine, so is this an 0.7 beta bug? Is there anything I can do to fix it, or should I blow the partition and go back to 0.6?

  • IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

    Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

    I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!

  • I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

    I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
    Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
    I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
    I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
    I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
    Please can anybody help.
    Cheers,

  • I changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

    In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

  • Please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my  pc it recognises it as a sigma mass usb device, yet its a 8gb ipod nano,and i tunes does not recognise it, im running on windows vista basic yet my own 80g classic ipod runs perfect

    please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc, it does not recognise it in itunes,yet it comes up as a sigma mass usb device. its an ipod nano 8gb?. im running on windows vista,my own ipod classic runs fine.

    there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
    so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit.
