U350 wireless not working on win7

Hello - I have a brand new U350 that came with Vista. First thing I did was clean install Win7 Home Premium and the network does not work, neither wired nor wireless.
So went to lenovo drivers download and isntalled
the Broadcom Ethernet Driver v12.2.4.2 dated 2009-10-21. This updated the two unknown devices noted in device manager for networks as these two:
- Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet
- Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN
So now the wired network is working but the wireless is still not. I have tried to make sure it is on doing the little slider on/off control and the Fn-F5 thing - but this does not do anything and the wireless light in the activity status lights by the touchpad does not turn on either.
So - I am not sure if the driver is wrong or what. THere are quite a number of Wireless drivers listed on the downlaod page at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=61415.
Does anybody know if I installed the right driver, or if it is indeed one of the other drivers? Or some other problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Installing the Lenovo Energy Management utility is required for the Wireless to be turned on. as soon as I installed it the Fn-F5 keypress brought up the user interface to turn the wireless funciton on/off. Evidently the Fn-F5 is enabled by or targeted to that UI.
Anybody reading the post I would not rule out the Intel driver download (as opposed to the older one on the Lenovo driver downloads web site) as required for the solution since I did successfully install it first. The version I installed is 13.0.0.107.

    Hi  sparhk, and welcome.
    One of the Lenovo staff who frequents the forum put out a call to help you in a private forum.  I do a little Linux, so I poked into it.  To my amazement my first Google hit was your thread where you indicate you have solved the problem.  (At least, it _looks_ like you...)
    May I respectfully suggest that a post back here indicating success would be a nice touch?  That way anyone who passes by looking for help with this issue will have a better chance of finding it.  For posterity, here it is (see post number 25):

  • Sound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7

    ASound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7
    Please read carefully
    Part number Part SB040
    Hello,
    I have a fresh install of Win7x64 OEM. First, I want to say that I have "AUTOMATICALLY MUTE SPEAKERS" UNCHECKED under the Headphone detection tab. I have tried "Automatically Enable Headphone Settings" checked or unchecked. No difference.
    As soon as I plug in headphones to the front panel connector , the speakers in the mixer say "disconnected" (see below) and the SPDIF becomes the default output. There is no way for me to change this. And there isn't any sound coming from the headphones when plugged into the front panel. (the mic front panel works fine)
    I am using the nati've Win7 drivers for the card. Apparently the Win 7 drivers on your site are older than the nati've ones.
    This worked fine in Windows XP 32. Any ideas.

    Ok guys this is how I fixed the problem on my X-Fi PCI-Express. Open the Creative SB X-Fi Volume panel. Mine is set in game mode and I have 5 vertical sliders for Line-In /Mic, MIDI Synth, Digital-In, and the last one will say one of three things either Digital-In, Microphone, or Mirophone FP. At the top of the?slider there is a tab which brings up a drop down menu. Mine was default set to Digital-In, I switched it to Mirophone FP (tried Microphone first and it worked but the FP sounds better for me) and cranked it all the way up and my problem was solved. Very frustrating one though as there is no documentation that led me to the fix it was just playing around with it till I could figure it out.
    I hope this at least helps some of you out.

  • G700 - Wireless not working

    I have a new G700. In box I found a CD with drivers for Win8.
    I have installed Win7 - and installed drivers for Win7 from Lenovo support web page.
    Everything is working except Wireless. It simply doesn't appear in adapters dialog.
    What can be wrong? I already searched the web and I found that I have to install Energy Management Software. Strange, but I already did and it looks very simple - without any settings for wireless as described.
    I checked again and I found that this software is just for Win8 (but it works on Win7).
    I tried Fn5 (in different combination) but it change nothing. Are there any other software or some indicator light if Wireless works.
    Thanks.

    hi dunda,
    First Make sure that the BIOS settings for the Wireless is Enabled.
    Hit F2 when booting up the system and go to the configuration tab.
    If that did not fix it
    Make sure that your re installation of the Lenovo Energy / Power Management fixed the FN. do this by trying other FN Feature see if those works, If not Uninstall Energy Management under Control Panel and install this one
    Lenovo Energy Management
    Then Check all the FN again and check the Fn for the wireless.
    Best Regards

  • SB wow wireless not working after firmware upgrade

    Hello,
    In the beginning of this year I bougth a pair of Sound Blaster World of warcraft wireless headset. And there have been alot of trouble with them, I've been using the latest software but not the latest firmware ever since then.
    And every now and then my mic stop to work, I could hear sound but the mic was totally dead, and all of a sudden, of no logical reason the mic started to work agian.
    So I thought a firmware upgrade could make them work better, but no, i upgrade firmware from .9.x to .0.x.
    And guess what happens? Nothing works no, not the sound, not the mic, the USB trasmitter cant even sync with the headset anymore.
    Ive tried a million things now, some of them are:
    . Just tried to reinstall it, didnt work
    2. Tried to install it in winxpsp3 compability mode, didnt work.
    3. Tried to clear all temp-folder (the temp-folder under c:\windows\temp and the user-temp) after Ive uninstalled it, didnt work.
    Im running on Windows 7 Professional x64 edition.
    What could cause this? I havnt tried to install them on a XP-computer yet tho. But I have to get them work in Win7, since i cant downgrade just because of a headset, huh?
    Thanks,
    Johan

    Ok, please redirect me to a tecnical supportpage where I can find potential solutions,
    - and instructions how I do for example a downgrade of firmware?

  • Satellite L300 - Wireless not working at all

    Hi everyone,
    Im new here and my name is Jodie. My husband and I bought new laptops a couple of weeks ago, the Satellite L300.
    On my husbands one the wireless just stopped working, the switch is on but no light is on. I've tried FN and F8 is says the wireless is not working. I then checked in the device manager under netwrok adapters to see if it said the same as mine and the Wireless Adapter has vanished? It's the Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Netwrok Adapter.
    Can anyone help? Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old :(
    Thanks Guys
    Jodie

    >Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old
    I understand what you mean but if you check this forum and all questions here your problem is not so complicated. You cannot even imagine which problems people have with notebooks. Sometimes I ask myself what people do with notebooks. :)
    Back to your problem: Jodie if there is no way to get WLAN to work I recommend you to use most radical but most effective way to test WLAN functionality install OS again using HDD recovery image. After doing this you will have factory state and all hardware components should be installed properly.
    Enable WLAN using WLAN switch, be sure WLAN is enabled with FN+F8 and scan the area.
    It must work.

  • Quick launch buttons and touch functions not working post win7 upgrade

    I have several problems that I think are related.
    1) When I rotate the screen and then bring it close (as in flat) to the keyboard, the screen goes blank. There is no key combination I can find that restores the screen. Putting it back in notebook orientation doesn't do anything either. Only thing to do is a hard reboot.
    2) the quick launch buttons on the screen edge are not functioning as follows:
    a) the hp mediasmart button (the one with the wave) doesn't work
    b) the screen rotation button produces the same problem as 1) above
    c) the third button which looks like either gears or a sun (I don't know what it should do) brings up the windows mobility center, where I have found problem number:
    3) On tablet PC settings, the display tab, there is one display: 1. mobile PC display
    on the same tab, there is a setup button. The next screen says:
    pen input
    touch input
    Regardless which one I select, on the following screen (where it says Press this screen with ....) when I press with either my finger or the pen, nothing happens. Which seems like either:
    it thinks another screen is active or
    the touch components are completely non functional.
    4) Not surprising, the touch functions are completely non-functional
    I have installed all of the drivers for this TX2-1025dx for Win7(64bit) per the HP support/drivers page.
    Not all of them resulted in a clean install. 
    Here are other drivers that I had problems with (meaning that I got an error message, it failed, it had to be done more than once, something else broke, etc.)
    AMD AHCI  - started catalyst installer then failed
    Authentic fingerprint driver - "dpinst64 not marked for installation"
    Ntrig Duosense - had to do this one multiple times to get the fingerprint reader to work
    HP Mediasmart MVP - hung in CMD
    I have checked that all of the startup services are actually enabled in msconfig including quick launch buttons, hpwuschd, and media smart. Nothing is disabled in services.
    I have reinstalled the quick launch buttons driver for this product from December 2009. (There is an earlier version from November.)
    I installed the bios upgrade (before win7, actually) it is currently F.25
    I have also eliminated EMF possibilities.
    I have searched the forums, and while I have found some interesting clues, I don't see anything like this - at least with a solution.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as this thing is quite useless to me as it currently functions. It is not a tablet anymore.
    TIA

    [knock knock] Helloooooo??!!??
    Installed 6.50.9.1, which is in between the last two quick launch button (QLB) drivers (that did not work). Also fixed the lightscribe and mediasmart DVD installs. Same problems, no touch or pen, and a new bug I discovered with qlb
    First, if you search for tablet in the start menu, there is a selection to set the tablet buttons to perform certain tasks. When you run that, it says that teblet buttons are not installed on this pc. Doesn't matter if QLB is installed or not - same error. Hmmmmm. Check with your pc manufacturer..... I think I am doing that. I am starting to feel like I am working for HP.
    Next finding: Using mobility center, I found that if you orient the screen to landscape for the slate config, and then rotate the screen, it does not go blank. However, if you rotate the screen back to notebook, it goes blank. And of course it keeps that upsidedown config when you reboot, too. So, the way to recover from that (because you really need a keyboard if you don't have a working pen and touch takes 30 sec to respond) is to keep trying to get touch to orient the screen back to landscape for notebook. Then rotate the screen to landscape for notebook. And uninstall the QLB driver that doesn't work and reboot. But after that, touch and pen did not function.
    Since touch and pen had previously been restored when I uninstalled QLB, I reinstalled MVP and smartmenu coz they were the actions that I took the last time before touch and pen returned. Didn't work this time, tho.
    I decided to do a system restore back at the point that I had used HP Advisor, since that was the last time I made note that pen and touch were working. Restore failed because a sfi.dat file was not found (and search didn't find it anywhere either). I tried 5 different restore points, before and after that one, and they all failed. But the first time around, I had touch on the logon screen, just not after windows started. The next time, I had touch but not pen. The next time, I had touch and pen, but only for a period of time (I think HP Advisor may have been the intervening event) before they stopped working.
    Oh, and HP advisor does not appear to be actually installing the things on the action list. That could be an issue with Comodo, but it really looks more like an issue with that "mother may I" message from Windows asking for permission to run the program. Often as not, windows reports that the program is not responding. Closing the program with that dialog box actually gives it the kick in the knickers it needs to complete.
    A not so great workaround is to use the mobility center to orient the screen when you want to put the thing in slate mode. You can pin it to the task bar (with a little fiddling).  Touch is extremely slow to respond in slate mode. For example, it took about 3 minutes to get the screen oriented back around to notebook config, which is 4 "clicks" if things are working right. Pen works sort of OK (although I haven't tried any writing) . Gestures for scrolling do not work.
    I am done with the troubleshooting until someone comes up with other targeted ideas.I have been keeping detailed chrono notes.
    Again, I hope the information here leads to a solution. This unit is not a functional tablet and I don't want to stay with Vista, neither should I have to since this is supposed to be compatible.

  • Wireless not working at a hopeless tech person's house

    Wireless doing fine then I tried to connect the new direct tv connect kit. First step was to press my wan button on router till it blinked then press something on the direct tv connect thing. Never got it to talk to each other. But then none of my wireless things worked so I tried a unplug of modem and router and that didnt reset everything so then I hit the reset button and now my little button no longer lights up yellow. The tiny power light is flashing (not holding steady).did I ruin my router?

    Is that a Linksys/Cisco router? What is the model number? Reset again the router for 30 seconds and then unplug/replug the router for 30 seconds also. Observe after that if power light goes solid and if ever it still flash after a minute or two, try to plug the router in a different power outlet. If you get the power solid after the reset, reconfigure the router again for wired and wireless internet.

  • Wireless not working in linux, but works fine in windows vista

    Hello!
    I have installed Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 4 in a dual boot config. with Window Vista on a Compaq Presario laptop. After install completed I found that my on board Broadcom Wireless Adapter (Dell 1390 Mini PC card) was not recognized. I have tried installing NDISwrapper versions 1.48 and later 1.47 (after uninstalling 1.48) because everytime I got to the "modprobe ndiswrapper" received a fatal error about an unknown symbol or parameter, and on install I also encountered a "CONFIG_4KSTACKS" error as well. The good part is the light on my laptop for the wireless adapter finally came on and the driver (bcmwl5.inf) appears to be installed and the wireless adapter identified as being present, but it still doesn't show up in the network manager gui interface. So I am out of ideas if any one can give me a suggestion for a solution I would appreciate it.

    HP Laserjet Pro 1102w Wireless is not working on my MacBook Air Yosemite (v10.10).
    I tried setting it up via this link: (v10.10 Yosemite, Method 3: Wireless Setup Using a USB Connection)

    All I get under printers is the USB kind and NOT the Wireless/Bonjour kind.
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks.  

    Hi @Random_Pelican ,
    I see that you are having issues setting up the printer on 10.10. I would like to help you out today.
    If the printer has a valid IPv4 address and you still can't add the printer as a Bonjour printer, most likely Multicasting is turned off on the router, since your not able to add the printer as a bonjour device and the other devices won't recognize the printer. Just call the router company and have them turn it on.
    If the printer doesn't have a valid IPv4 address please try these steps:
    Reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
    Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
    Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
    Printing a Configuration Page.
    Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometime the Embedded Web Server won't open if it isn't.
    Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
    I will provide the steps for 10.9, which should work the same for 10.10.

    Here is a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w wireless installation on Maverick.
    Laserjet P1102w.
    You may follow the steps instead of watching the video.
    You have to connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer to install the printer as a USB device first and then configure the wireless network.
    Turn the printer on, connect the USB cable and install the Apple Update that should automatically load.
    Then go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.
    Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
    Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button.
    The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
    Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
    Fill out this information for your network. Status make sure you select Enabled.
    Apply the settings.
    Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet bonjour printer. (might take a couple of minutes to appear) Make sure the printer listed beside use: shows the proper printer name and not the default driver, then click on the add button.
    Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
    Disconnect the USB cable.
    Test the printer.
    Let me know how you make out.
    Have a great day!

  • [Solved For Now] Wireless Not Working on HP Pavillion 15-n278sa

    EDIT: I seem to have fixed it for now by following this tutorial, I don't know how long it will last though: http://askubuntu.com/questions/337785/w … -c55-a5281
    Hi there guys,
    I have been having some problems with my Wireless under arch on my lapotop, which is a HP Pavillion 15-n278sa. I've had the wireless working twice before, but a reboot broke it both times. The Ethernet works perfectly fine. The first time I have no idea how I got it to work, it was a combination of a bunch of different threads and eventually I modprobed the wireless adapter and it worked (this no longer works).
    This is the output of when I try to connect to the wireless using wifi-menu:
    Job for [email protected] failed. See 'systemctl status [email protected]' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
    So I run systemctl status [email protected] and journalctl -xn and this is the output of the both respectively:

    The network cards that I am using are the following (output from lspci -nn)
    02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8179] (rev 01)

    This one being the wireless controller:
    02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8179] (rev 01)
    If there is anything more I can provide I would happily do it, I really need the wireless to work under this laptop. I know it works, I have had it working under Arch and it works under Ubuntu no problem. I am not sure if it is a driver problem, or if it's a problem with netctl. It looks more like a problem with netctl as after netctl updated it started working, and after a reboot it broke again.
    Thanks so very much everyone,

  • Wireless not working after suspend (madwifi)

    Hi there
    I successfully converted from Vista to Archlinux! Everything's working fine (yep, I'm a bit proud as this my second try at linux ) except that after I suspend with powersave my wlan is not working anymore. I've also tried to unload the ath_pci module and restart the network in /etc/powersave/sleep but that doesn't seem to work.
    I guess it has something to do with the network deamon because when I try to restart my network manually it says that dhcpcd is already running for ath0... Oh, and also the iwconfig for ath0 seems to be perfectly correct after suspend...
    Here's the network part of my rc.conf:
    lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
    eth0="dhcp"
    ath0="dhcp"
    wlan_ath0="ath0 essid FeelGood key s:******"
    WLAN_INTERFACES=(ath0)
    INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 ath0)
    Any ideas? Help would be appreciated

    Well, maybe you already know this, but: ath_pci (the madwifi driver) is among blacklisted modules (/etc/hibernate/blacklisted-modules), so it gets unloaded during the suspend process. That screws up whatever wireless connection you might have had before suspending. Now if you have the option LoadModules auto in /etc/hibernate/common.conf, it should get loaded after resuming - but that of course doesn't renew the connection. So that I do is I have a short script that calls /etc/rc.d/network restart, and I run it manually after suspending to renew the connections.
    BTW, I have this in /etc/hibernate/common.conf:
    UnloadBlacklistedModules yes
    LoadModules auto
    EDIT: Eh, B managed to post before I finished writing this :)
