Upgrading the wireless LAN card

I want to upgrade my current wireless card (802.11b) to a 802.11a/b/g card.
Where can i find one?
what is the part number? 
My model number is  23737FU (Thinkpad T41)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

FWIW that card can be purchased on eBay brand new for $40...and yes, a genuine one with a FRU...
I hate when I have to disagree with Mr. Bolton whose opinions and knowledge I hold in very high regard, but many people (myself included) have bricked their laptops using the aforementioned patch/hack/name it as you like it...
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

  • Windows xp on te2000 cant detect wireless lan card

    I have a te2000 laptop the wireless lan card is detected as PCMCIA MTD-0002.
    I downloaded the drivers but even after I install windows wont use it. I get error code 10.
    How do I make it work ?
    The wireless port is enabled but it has an orange light (not green) any ideas why ?
    Thanks in advance
    Ken.

    Thnks Joao for the response.
    I downloaded the drivers here but even if I install them Windows doesnt let me use it and there is the yellow question mark in device manger & status is T'his device cannot start. (Code 10)'
    If I remove the driver and let windows search for it manually it doesnt get it, so it installs it as pcmcia-mtd-0002.
    How do I tell if it's Orinoco or not ?
    At the bottom the wireless lan has a number 00022d 366fed if that is any help.
    Notice hot the timestamps on this board are off :)

  • Need Wireless lan card for L100-179

    Hi guys can any one advise me where to buy a wireless lan card and any advise and installing one please

    Hello
    In my opinion the first step is your local dealer where you have bought the unit. This unit is not known to me but I presume unit is WLAN ready and upgrade with mini PCI WLAN card is possible.
    Other way to find out which WLAN card is compatible with your unit is to contact service partner in your country.

  • PCI Card Slot - Wireless LAN Card Problems - Help!

    Help.
    I'm having problems getting my board to recognize both:
    Linksys WMP11 Wireless LAN card; and
    Netgear WG311T Wireless LAN card
    (returned the Linksys card, but the Netgear card had the same problem).
    Neither card is being picked up by Windows (XP Home), although both the "power" and "link" LED lights up when inserted.  I've tried every PCI slot, same issue.  Nothing shows up in the device manager, and no new hardware is detected.  The Netgear software tells me that the card has not been installed.  
    Am left thinking I need to RMA the board.  Any suggestions woudl be much appreciated.

    My roommate has a similar setup as you and I am having the same problem getting a pci wifi card to work in the machine.  I have tried both a Linksys WMP54G and a Netgear WG311. Both cards will scan for networks bit will never connect my router (Linksys WRT54G). Just to get them to recognise the network, I have to turn off WEP, and turn on ESSID broadcast.  Both of these cards work prefect in other computers. I know it not a signal problem because I can take my laptop and set it in the same location and it gets excellent signal.
    I have tried changing slots in the machine, the wifi cards were the only PCI cards in the machine and an GeForce 6800 GT in the AGP slot. I have no idea what the problem could be. But I'm leaning towards the mobo at this point.

  • I cannot change the wireless LAN encryption WEP settings

    Dear all,
    I have a WRC-1000 which I did not use for about year and a half. Now I reconnected the unit and during the configuration I cannot change the wireless LAN settings for security (WEP). No matter what I do it keeps stuck on 128 bit WEP.
    It also does not show the WEP key settings (so the screen where I should configure the WEP key).
    This is what I have done so far: Full reset, reload default configuration, updated to latest firmware. Still no change. I suspect a hardware failure. Is this a memory failure (flash)??
    Can someone help me out?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Do you speak about the router settings or about the WLan setting on the notebook???
    Did you try to use a Wlan connectivity tool like Intel ProSet Utility or Atheros WLan client utility?
    Depending on your WLan card I would recommend checking these both tools and try to establish the WLan connection using one of these programs!

    Hi,
    I got an 802.11n Wireless LAN card, which i found should be allowing 300mbps max. Mine is currently stuck at 54mbps, even though i changed the router settings to N 40MHz mode.
    Anyone know how to fix this?

  • Update ralink 802.11n wireless lan card

    Receiving a pop up saying that there is an update to ralink 802.11n wireless lan card. Is this crucial?Bad past experience with updating things that weren't crucial.  Thanks!

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I have read your post on how your desktop computer displays a pop-up message prompting you to update the wireless card installed. I would be happy to assist you in this matter! If you are not experiencing any difficulties connecting to a wireless network on your computer, I would not count the update as crucial. If your computer is having trouble connecting to the network, even if the problem is intermittent, it may be a good idea to install the update. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions or concerns feel free to post back! Cheers

  • Disable the wireless network card upon connection.

    Has anyone done the following, if so can you provide some insite on how to do it and how well it works....If wireless networking is not being used in the organization, it is possible for CSA to disable
    the wireless network card when it is connected to the corporate network. I'm assuming by using the system
    state variable with the rule, you can allow laptop users the ability to use wireless when they are
    not connected to the corporate network.

    I dont' see a system state "ethernet active" do I create this? I'm on CSA version 5.1.0.103. I have a system state called network which has the description of All users who are logged on via a network connection. Is that the same thing you mean? Then how do I create the rule? I get to where I have a NAC rule but I'm not for sure what to choose after that.

  • How could the wireless ethernet card running automatic when system reboot?

    I have already setup the wireless networking card correctly which name is wpi0,but every time when I use it to link to internet,
    I had to key the instuction like this :
    ifconfig wpi0 plumb
    ifconfig wpi0 up
    ifconfig wpi0 dhcp
    and then input:
    wificonfig -i wpi0 connect mywifi
    comment: mywifi is the profile file of connection to my wireless router
    I had set it with the instruction before like thisi
    wificonfig createprofile mywifi essid=2WIRE678 encryption=wep wepkey1=1234567890
    anybody can help me group up the command line and has it running automatic when system reboot
    it seems the wireless card always need manual connect to router, that 's trouble.

    It should connect on it's own. Which version of Solaris are you using?
    If worse comes to worse just drop all of your commands into a simple script and then run that script as part of your .profile or equivalent.

  • Will the wireless extreme card fit a MDD Mac

    I tried to take the wireless extreme card from my FW 800 out and put it in my MDD Mac. It doesn't seem to be interchangeable. The guide in the MDD is about 1 inch longer than the FW 800. With some fooling around you can seem to plug it in and hook up the antenna but it doesn't seem to work. About this Mac doesn't see a wireless card installed. What wireless card should I use? There ate some USB wireless cards that claim to work in any Mac with a USB port and 10.3 or higher??
    Bob

    will the wireless extreme card fit a MDD Mac
    No. Remove it immediately.
    What wireless card should I use?
    The original AirPort card, a PCI card, or an external adaptor.

  • HT2494 The wireless internet card in my macbook pro 2009 is damaged, where can I have it repaired?

    The wireless internet card in my macbook pro 2009 is damaged, where can I have it replaced or is there any alternative way so that I can connect to wifi?
    Thanks

    Really? The AASP I went to services both Macs and iPhones (and was actually within that list,) and I was very surprised earlier that they refused to help me with repairing my iPhone 5, even if I voluntarily and expressly said that I am willing to pay for the cost. The service provider said he can't help me with anything and advised that I have it shipped to Singapore (and since that is very difficult for me now, I came here instead to ask for advice).
    I will try another AASP very soon and shall update you. Thanks for your help, Clinton!

  • JDS fails to detect wireless LAN Card

    I've installed JDS on my Dell laptop (Latitude C840). The network works fine with my wired LAN card - 3COM 3C920-TX. However, JDS fails to detect my wireless card - "True Mobile 1150". Any idea?

    Winston:
    I would appreciate any info you can provide on how you got the 3com network card to work.
    I have a 3com 3c940 in my ASUS p4p800 and the
    JDS doesn't install it.
    3com say the 3c940 is compatible with Linux 2.4 kernel and SuSE, so theoritically Sun should have installed it correctly, not so.
    ASUS says I need kernel source installed in
    /usr/src/linux - there is no such directory.
    The nonexistent manual in Java Desktop certainly doesn't help.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Can I install the latest GCC compiler or do I need to recompile a pile of programs to use it.
    I believe the ATI video card needs files and compilers installed, which the default install did not do.
    Thanks in advance for all and any help.
    New to Linux, like the JDS all except the network issues. Wireless doesn't work and realize it is because a huge company like Cisco, the grand daddy of networking which brought Linksys are not supporting the broadcom chipset. ARGH!!

    No there is just no way to upgrade the graphics. That is true of almost all laptops. Are you still within the period to return it and buy something with better graphics?
