Upgrading My Network Adapter

Good afternoon!
HP G72-250US Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
I have currently installed a Realtek RTL8191SE Network Adapter. I would like to upgrade it to the Realtek RTL8192E so I can use my new dual band wireless router (Netgear WNDR3700).
Can I upgrade the network adapter on this laptop?

Hello mightyeskimo01. I understand you want to upgrade your wireless card.
Unfortunately only certain cards will work in any given notebook. Your best bet is to stick with one listed in your notebook's Maintenance and Service Guide. Any card not listed there is highly unlikely to work.
I hope this helps. Have a great day!

Upgrade Intel network adapter driver (e1000g driver)

Hi,
Here is the context of my question:
I have a Solaris 10 10/09 installed on a laptop. It works fine.
I have a new laptop (similar to the other, but not exactly identical hardware) on which I would like to install the same version of Solaris (to be sure to have the closest configuration to the other laptop).
However, the driver of my new laptop network card (Intel 82579LM) is not included in Solaris 10 10/09. It is included in the Solaris 10 8/11, latest version. It is the e1000g driver (Intel Gigabit Ethernet).
==> Can I copy the e1000g driver of Solaris 8/11 and install it on the older version of Solaris?
Note: I have tried to associate the network card (pci8086, 0x1502) to the e1000g driver 09/10 (thanks to /etc/driver_aliases) but it doesn't work (I have already used this technique successfully for other cards).
Thank you very much for your advice.

This is the error message... “pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </tmp/SUNWINTGIGE>”
under /tmp/SUNWINTGIGE I have copied the files located under SOLARIS_10\PRODUCT\SUNWINTGIGE (as mentioned above), maintaining the directory structure. I then run pkgadd -d . and the above error message pops up.
thanks

Thunderbolt Network Adapter not working after yosemite upgrade

After I upgraded to Yosemite, my MBP Retina 13" doesn't see the link on thunderbolt network adapter. The wireless is totally unreliable and freeze every few min for 1-2 min which is long enough to disconnect any sessions. Turn off and on of wireless works and recovers but it's royal pain. Any suggestions?
I scheduled call with Apple 3 times today. They call me back at the scheduled time and immediately tell me that I missed their call even though I pickup on 1st ring. Been waiting in their support queue for more than 30 min now and no one is on line yet.

the link provide above leads to http://plugable.com/2014/10/31/os-x-10-10-yosemite-ethernet-adapter-problems-we- can-help
...but these seem to be all 3rd party USB ethernet adapters and nothing to do with the Thunderbolt adapter of the thread - or am I missing something?
I have the same blooming problem, it seems to be totally hit and miss whether the adapter works or not.
I thought is was a faulty adapter, so even bought a second one for my MacBook Pro, so a bit more profit for the most profitable company in the world for a non working device. My ethernet cable works fine to an old apple USB adapter but is 90% useless with Thunderbolt.
Renewing the DHCP lease occasionally works, but totally unreliable, at the moment it fails.
Still looking for a reliable solution.
Come on Apple, please sort this out, you have a connector policy of turning everything you can into adapters and dongles rather than building them in, so you end up with a slim laptop and a bag of adapters to carry around, and then when they don't even work - doubly annoying.

Upgrading from iTunes 10.4.1.10 to 10.5.3 on Windows 7 - network adapter is disabled

Hi all,
I tried upgrading to iTunes10.5 on a Windows 7 HP Elitebook 2530p and the result is that my Wi-Fi and Ethernet network adapters become disabled. In fact, they are effectively deinstalled - they simply disappear and I am unable to reinstall or use the Windows hardware installer to automatically find them and reinstall. I had to deinstall the iTunes upgrade and then restore my system back using the pre-install restore point- and the network adapter magically reappear! Noticed this issue seemed to be a known problem and discussed at length on these boards. Have not tried this update since ~Nov so perhaps it has now been corrected, but I didn't want to risk attempting again only to have to back out and waste more time. Can anyone confirm that the current 10.5.3 update fixes this network adapter problem on Windows 7 32-bit? Many thanks, Mark

I came upon the solution in another discussion thread. The solution is to simply wait 8 to 10 minutes on the language selection dialog box allow the install program time to find my OS 10.4.1.1.. I then clicked on "Continue" and the install proceeded without any problems. I know am running Leopard OS 10.5.8., So far with no cliches..."knock on wood". Thanks to all who responded to my original question.

GX60 1AC-021US - Network adapter upgrade

Hi all!
I've tried the search function before posting here, but didn't have any result. So here's my question!
I've bought an Intel Wireless-AC adapter to replace the Qualcomm Atheros adapter that comes pre-installed with the laptop. The thing is, after I uninstalled every drivers, format my system to re-install OS, it seems like the network adapter isn't working, giving me the "No network found" message while I'm accessing the connection nearby. I've tested an Ubuntu live CD and the adapter seems to work just fine. Is there anyway to make it works with Windows? I've tried the latest drivers from Intel, both for Win8 or Win8.1 and the previous version of the driver too, without success. The card worked 1 time, but after reboot, the same problem re-occured.
Any idea or advice I can get?
Thanks!

Well....a quick google turns up these:

http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/303338-frequent-bsod-problem-3.html
How many sticks of memory do you have in your laptop? 2 or 3?
Just wondering.....
Lastly, I saw your posts on Techinferno (I don't frequent there as much as I used to....). Honestly, the Killer Networks cards are just as much problems as many others. Go look at the GE/GT series users having a mess of a time with drivers with those cards. My GT70 took about 6 months until I got drivers that were BSoD free. Imagine that?
The best thing I can say, is I believe a few users 'upgraded' to the Intel 6235 and had good experience once they got the drivers sorted out.
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/centrino-advanced-n-6235.html
I don't have thread links atm (the search function isn't working right...), but they are here in this forum. You might have to go back 5 or 10 pages to find it, but it's there.
I have 2 RAM sticks, default. The only thing I tried to upgrade on the laptop is the network adapter...
Yeah, I've read almost all thread related to the card. Seems I'm not the only having trouble with that card, and since I installed the card myself, the people over at Intel won't offer me that much support. Anyway, I asked them and they sent me to the infos related to install latest drivers or try windows drivers. Nothing fits. I'll still look at that and if nothing good comes out, then I'll just be done with the card... Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

Just to be 100% clear, you install PSE 5 from the disk first, then after that is done, you apply the 5.0.2 patch.
Also, I wish you'd be orders of magnitude more specific ... what do you mean by "I get to the selection page"? Exactly what do you see. Describe it in great detail. Screen shot would be nice. After you see this, exactly what do you do? Exactly? In great detail
Have you tried Terri's idea of copying everything to a folder on your hard disk?
Have you tried installing this software from the disk on a different computer?

HP ENVY Rove 20 - Network Adapter not showing after Windows 10 Upgrade

After upgrading to Windows 10 the Network Adapter does not show up. Verified in Device Manager that there is no issue and the driver is there. Removed the device from device manager, attempted to use a different driver, still no success.

Really disappointed in HP for not being ready for W10 rollout. I upgraded my HP Envy desktop PC 700-214 and after the upgrade, I could not connect to the internet. Didn't recognize the networking hardware. Went to HP Support (on different computer) and found out here aren't W10 drivers yet for this machine. Very Poor.My wife has a Dell laptop and we have another older Dell that upgraded no problem. Why because Dell is on top of their $__t when it comes to this stuff.Won't by HP again.Did you not try to reinstall the last support Drivers into Windows 10 to see if it works? Also with the lastest Windows HP will probably not support redoing drivers for older system as that will be cost prohibited to do. And it will be up to the Endusers to find the right drivers and software that matches their system to work with Windows 10 assuming they work with Windows 10. As to Dell that is something only Dell can answer that question and since we don't know if this is Dell Consumer or Business product since this falls outside of HP forums to discuss. You can't expect to have drivers if your system is too old to support Windows 10.

Trying to upgrade to 10.7 64 bit. Network adapter becomes disabled and drivers lost.

Fixed it. Reloaded the network card drivers after 10.7 install.

Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter - With any driver: "The device instance name is invalid"

Hello there,
I was trying to install various "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" drivers, with versions ranging from 2007 to 2010, both from the manufacturer and specifically for this computer (a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile) and others from here:
http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=22&system=3
All of them are for Windows Vista 32bit.
The computer had previous drivers installed and working, but also had a network problem. In the process of figuring out what was causing it, I tried to install newer drivers to see if that was the problem. It turns out the network problem was due to a different
thing that is now fixed (some dependencies of the WLAN Configuration service were turned off), but I'm still stuck installing the new drivers.
TL;DR:
However, every time I install new drivers, after install, Windows says that
"The device instance name is invalid", regardless of what drivers I install. I even tried to install drivers for different hardware in that slot just to see what it told me and IT STILL gave me the same error. I also tried to uninstall the
current driver, checking the box to delete the driver's software, running CCleaner and then deleting
"athr.sys" from the Windows/Drivers folder and
"oem8.inf" from Windows/Inf as those files were referenced in the driver's properties. The install still gives me the same error.
The fact that it gives me this error with any driver leads me to believe it's Windows' fault and not the driver's.
Note: I am translating from the original in Portuguese. "The device instance name is invalid" is the closest/correct translation and seems about right with the info I find online regarding the english version of Vista and how it refers to devices.
This (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/yFa_XnlcLJQ) and this (http://finderr.net/windows/pt-PT/O-nome-da-inst%C3%A2ncia-do-dispositivo-%C3%A9-inv%C3%A1lido-/2082573452) also seems to confirm that, though it
doesn't help me. It may be that the text is actually different in english Vista but I also searched for driver instead of device or stuff like "The device instance name appears to be invalid" and can't find anything either.
I also did SFC /SCANNOW a while ago and it found no errors. I then repeated it again after this problem and this time, SFC found errors BUT it couldn't repair all of them. Here is the CBS log:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bayum2rsezxpmre/CBS.log
Thank you for the help!
EDIT: The Notebook model is a Fujitsu-Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5535 and their support drivers can be found here (after specifying the OS and model):
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ShowFiles.asp
EDIT2:
The last SFC /scannow scan repaired everything left to repair. The system restore option can't be used because the earliest one still has the (suposedly faulty) drivers installed.
This computer has a Win Vista serial number, but no CD and the second partition doesn't have any kind of backup. The second partition is empty though. So, as a last resort, if I really don't have a choice, I'll try to do an upgrade install to see if that fixes
it and if that still doesn't fix it I'll have to move everything in the users folder to the second partition and format the first which is a bummer :/
EDIT: Here is the setup.api.log that was inside C:\Windows\Inf and details the instalation process of all the drivers:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyxs1e4r7rxofch/setupapi.dev.log
I'm still trying to read into that setup.api.log file.

So, can I assume that the only way to fix this error is to download an iso of Windows Vista, unninstall my service packs, upgrade install Vista, run Vistalizator to change the language to Portuguese and then install Service Pack 1 & 2?
EDIT: Alright, so I formatted the thing since the driver bug wouldn't give me a break. The details on that can be found searching for the same thread title either on tomshardware or vistaforums if anyone happens to find this looking for the same error.
I have a real knack for bumping heads with errors that nobody else gets that somehow turn into unfixable bugs. At least if someone else searches for this problem they'll know what to do.

How can I set ne2000 network adapter in Solaris 8 for x86

I am a beginner. I can not set a ne2000 compatible network adapter(isa) in Solaris 8 for x86.
I do follows:
write the file ' /kernel/drv/nei.conf ' with ' name="nei" parent="isa" reg=0x1,0x0300,0x1f interrupts=10 '
and use the command: drvconfig -i nei --failed
use the command: drv_add -i nei; devlinks; --there is no the command drv_add
use the command: touch /reconfigure; reboot
after reboot, use the command: ifconfig nei0 plumb --failed
Did I miss something obvious, or what driver should I use?

After backing up the suspect hard drive, I ran Disk Repair on it and found no problems. Then ran Disk Warrior again and no problems. It is a Hitachi, btw.
As for the PrefPane issue: Repairing disk permissions on the main volume and on the partition that holds the system did not make any difference.
Reinstalled the 10.5.8 upgrade, performed safe start and then repaired permissions again. Still getting a blank PrefPane for network.
Next step is to try and trash the System Configuration plist and Network Interfaces plist.

Network Adapter can't connect - HELP!

I'm getting the infamous "Network adapter could not establish the connection" error
for my RDBMS realm. I am running WLS 6.1 on Win2k. What is really wierd is that
I have an instance of WLS 5.1 running on the same box and I don't see that problem.
This started about a week ago... I used to have 6.1 running, then it did this
for a day, then it ran and now it seems to be permanently unhappy. I've looked
through the newsgroup posts and everything in my setup seems OK.
Any ideas?
thanks,
lisa

I'm not positive on this, but it might be a encryption compatibility problem between your network and your AirPort Card. I believe that OS 10.3.x is only capable of the basic encryption WEP, and not the the more modern encryptions WPA and WPA2. I also think if you upgrade to 10.3.9, that might help get you into WPA encrpytion but it still not up to WPA2 that many modern networks now use. Then there is 40 bit and 128 bit encryption, and I can't help you there with that.
There are two iMacs with a G4 1Ghz chip, the 15" model M9285LL/A or the 17" model M8935LL/A. Both of these are AirPort Extreme ready. Did you use an AirPort card or an AirPort Extreme card? Perhaps this might be a conflict.
There are WiFi protocols like IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n (with each letter signifying a different protocol). I'm pretty sure the original AirPort card on worked on IEEE 802.11a/b. That might be a problem.
I have an old Tangerine iBook running 10.2.8, that I can't use anymore on WiFi because it couldn't handle the encryption.
I hope some of these might be helpful.
Good luck.

Failure -lo exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connecti

I get the following error when I attempt to connect:
Failure -lo exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
I'm running 64-bit Windows XP Pro. Is that possibly an issue? I can ping the server. I am going to go now and install Oracle client software, to see whether I can tnsping and then connect from that.
The remote listener is up and running. I did check that.
What else might be the problem?

Kris,
I don't mind having to re-key connections between versions of Raptor, but if Raptor is going to save a connection that worked when I entered it, I expect that connection to work when I restart Raptor.
If you can't save a connection with just the TNS Alias, at least save it as something that works - convert it to the basic format.
Having said that - I would certainly prefer the connection to be saved as the TNS Alias if it could be. We have in the past had cases where we have modified the SID or Listener Port behind a TNS Alias to reduce downtimes during upgrades. With a centralised TNS Names file (which we have), there is only one place to update - if we are saving the full details behind the connection on every developer's PC, there is then a lot of additional places where the details need to be changed.

The Network Adapter could not establish the connection Error Code: 17002

Hi,
after upgrade b41 to b49, I get error from subject, without any changes in my app.
This occurs only on Oracle AS, on standalone OC4J application works OK.
I use connection defined in persistence.xml:
<non-jta-data-source>jdbc/MyAppDS</non-jta-data-source>
and can successfully test this connection in Enterprise manager.
Also, I tried all tricks mentioned here:
http://www.websina.com/bugzero/kb/oracle-connection.html
I know, that this is JDBC layer problem, but I am sure, that my connection is OK, and
after downgrade to b48 this problem fall away.

How have you deployed your application exactly, i.e. what is the structure of your ear. I use standard war for deploy.

G4 Won't Boot after Tiger install and Belkin USB Network Adapter install.

I'm sure this would apply to my G5 as well.
I installed Tiger on my G4 and it restarted and opened to desktop. Great!
Next, installed software drivers from Belkin USB Network Adapter.
Restarted computer,
Screen has firmware 'like" look asking me to type mac_boot.
I do this and the next screen is all grey with two small purple folders in the corner. I believe one was flashing!
Nothing happens just stays there.
How can I get back to normal boot mode?

tigerswim, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Did you already have Tiger installed or did you have Panther 10.3 installed? Tiger is not a free upgrade; you have to buy it & then update (for free) using the download updates from Apple. Also, you have to use a universal/retail install DVD (or CDs) to install Tiger. You cannot use the install DVD from another model Mac.
