Upgrading wireless card problem

I have a laptop, S105-A4074.
Running Windows Xp media
I am trying to replace the Intel wireless card with an new intel WiFi Link 5300. I have loaded drivers from Intel.
The laptop identifies the card, loads drivers but gives error message that there was a problem and device won't function. The device manager indicates a code 10 error
Are there any other drivers or software that I am overlooking?

Just Google it. But, I liked this review of 6 different ones.

Wireless Card Problems after Upgrade

Hi,
Just updated to new kernel and udev... got everything running back to normal without much problems cept my wireless card.
I got a cardbus card so I have to use ndiswrapper to load it.. but if I boot up with the card in, the computer freezes at the network module. It will boot up without the wireless card inserted.. but once I login and insert it it freezes up.
I've tried rmmod ndiswrapper module but that freezes up the comp too..
Anyone have any suggestions???

As I understand it my laptop has been fine and it uses broadcom-wl, and I just re-yaourt it each time my kernel version changes using a cable in my router. But I believe there is something called dkms and a version of the driver for it, which (I haven't read fully into it) is something like a separate tree, which can (from what little I've read) eliminate this need to recompile every time, however I literally read this 5 minutes ago, from the AUR page for broadcom-wl and a quick google so I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to it than that.

Problems upgrading wireless card

I recently bought a TP-Link TL-WN861N wireless card (Atheros chipset, AR9223) for my nw8240 laptop. I chose this particular device because 1) It's wireless 802.11n compatible, and 2) it uses an Atheros chipset that's compatible with the ath9k driver for Linux. But as soon as I turn on the laptop, I get this BIOS error message saying I have an incompatible wireless device and can't boot until I swap the old one back in. Is there a way to make it work or did I just waste $30 for nothing?

Well, sorry to say it is not going to work for you. HP implements a BIOS whitelist that only allows the system to boot if there is an HP tattoed wireless device in the wireless slot (or no wireless device). There are some very elaborate workarounds involving a rewrite of the BIOS Code with a hex editor. I would not try it.
This thread is dated but will give you an idea what is involved:

Lenovo g570 and wireless card problems

Ello folks,
I recently bought a Lenovo g570 Notebook, started using it all went fine recently i even upgraded my windows 7 to windows 8 x 64 and everything was swell. At some point my wireless connection was working fine but then BAM my wireless connection dissappeared from the list of connections. I must say that i had the same problem with the previous windows 7. Figured that the broadcast from the router was the problem but it turned out it wasn't sooo i'm assuming it's some kind of setting from the laptop because all other wireless using tech from home can see that particular network, all except the lenovo notebook.
Any help would be appreciated. I must say that i recently updated every driver to the latest after deinstalling the previous ones, without any result..... It's driving me nuts ....

Tip: Temp work around for Intel 7260 wireless card problems

I am currently having lot of issues with the Intel 7260 wireless card relating to unstable network connections (i.e. limited or no network connections, frequent dropouts). These problems are quite widespread, so it is not limited to Lenovo branded machines, many other brand of laptops are also having similar problem. This workaround is temporary until the laptop company and intel provides an official fix.

Step 1. Go into your control panel -> System Security -> System
Step 2. Click on Device Manager on the left hand side of the window.
Step 3. Click on Network Adapters
Step 4. Right click on Intel Wireless 7260, and click on properties
Step 5. Click on Advanced Tab
Step 6. Click on HT Mode and then select disable as an option.
Disabling the HT mode means you are operating the wireless card in G mode (54 mbps), for some people this is too slow, but it is an acceptable short term solution for preventing frequent network connection dropouts.

Upgrade wireless card for DV6-6B26US....

I have two Hp laptops that are used for work. One is a HP Pavilion DV6-6B26US and the other is a HP Pavilion G4-1215dx.
Recently our employer informed us that company network upgrades will require laptops to have dual band (2.4 & 5 GHz) wireless cards (as the are blocking 2.4 GHz bands in selected locations).
I initially attempted to upgrade the HP Pavilion G4-1215DX with an Intel Centrino 6235 Advanced WiFi card and found that the BIOS contained a whitelist preventing use of the Intel card. I was able to find and order a suitable replacment listed in the service guide for the laptop:
Realtek 8188BC8 802.11a/b/g/n 2×2 WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0+HS Combo Adapter (602993-001)
I cannot, however, find a suitable dual band wireless card listed in the service guide for the HP Pavilion DV6-6B26US. I need to know if a whitelist is employed in the bios for this machine, and if so, which dual band wireless card would be comapatible with this machine?
Alternatively, is there a BIOS avaiable for this machine (or both machines) that does not employ whitelisting of wireless cards?
Thank you,
Patrick

Hi,
Unfortunately the whitelist is still present in this model series (Dv6-6000). I haven't been able to find any compatible dual band wireless card because all wifi chips from the manual are only 1x1. Have you tried the Realtek 8188 on a 5Ghz network? I don't think that it's a dual band wireless card..

Upgrading Wireless Card in dv7-6197CA to Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC

I'm looking into upgrading my wireless card in my dv7-6197CA to something that will perform a bit better than my current wireless card. I was looking into upgrading to a card which supports the WiFi ac standard, and saw the Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC. During my research I've heard something about only certain wireless cards being compatiable with HP laptops due to a whitelist. My question is, will the Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC be compatiable with my model of laptop? Thanks in advance!

Only wifi cards offered by HP on your model are sure to work and it has to be a wifi card bearing an HP Spares Part number or yes, the whiltelist will jump up and bite you. I am not aware of HP's offering any 802.11ac wifi cards yet.

Wireless Card Problem

Following the info found in this forum, I've been trying to use a Netgear WG511T wireless card on my Powerbook G3 OS 10.2. I downloaded and installed the Orangeware driver, but after inserting the card (the light on the card blinks) the computer freezes during reboot and I get a grey screen with lines across the screen. This driver is supposed to work with this card, but I haven't been able to get past the reboot stage. Everything works fine without the card inserted. Am I missing something? Are the Mac gods playing with my mind? I really want this to work.

Hello,
cmlle, I have exactly the same problem.
For months I have been using Orangeware wireless driver on my Pismo G3/400 OSX 10.4 in combination with Netgear WG511T card with no problems at all.
Suddenly one day a black square appeared on the grey background when booting my Pismo. I red that is something to do with Kernel Panic but I don’t know much about that.
So it took several rebooting until Pismo appeared to be OK. But then a few times the screen just went black. That eventually stopped but instead Pismo would just freeze.
I then discovered that if I take my Netgear card out my Pismo, it unfreezes and start to work normally. If I then try to insert the card again while the computer is on the card wouldn’t connect with my router but only one LED would flash.
I eventually reinstalled OS but to no avail. I am so puzzled.
I would be ever so grateful if somebody could make a logical sense of all these symptoms.
Many thanks again
Alex

Pavilion dv6 - 2090er - upgrade wireless card "b/g" to "n".

I have HP Pavilion dv6 - 2090er and I 'd like to upgrade my wireless card "b/g" to "n". What a model of wireless card is compatible to my system

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01860375.pdf
Supported wireless cards can be found in Chapter 3, starting on page 3-6.
If I were you, I would get the Broadcom 4322AGN 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi Adapter with the applicable HP part # depending on what country you live in.
That is a dual band (2.5/5.0 GHz card).
You must get the card with the HP part # on it, or it will not work.
I like to get used but tested and working cards on eBay. So a search by the part number.
Or you can order new from HP at the link below.

Upgrading wireless card to b/g/n

hp Mini 210 1010 NR
Does anyone know what card will work with this mini? It presently has a b/g card installed.
Thank you,
Frank
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi, Frank:
Below is the link to the service manual associated with your notebook.
Supported wireless cards are listed in chapter 3 on pages 19 and 20.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01988326.pdf
You can only use one of the supported cards listed and they must have the HP part number on them or they will not work.
I would look on eBay for used but tested and working b/g/n cards of one of the models listed.
Make sure you get one listed for the country you are living in.
Query by the HP part number and only buy a card where you actually see the part number listed in the picture.
Or buy new from HP at the link below.

Linksys wireless card problems

Just today, I purchased the new Airport Extreme and hooked up the wireless network to my iMac. My roommate has a PC with a new Linksys wireless card. When trying to access the iternet using the Airport Etreme, it gives an error saying that 'Cannot associate with the access point'.
Our neighbor has an unsecured wireless connection and she can use that just fine. How can we get her onto our own wireless network?
Thanks!

Per chance to you have your AX configured to NOT broadcast its "Network Name?" (Note: In the PC world, this would also be called the SSID.) If so, I would re-enable it so that it does.
As the issue is most likely Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) on your PC, I would try the following:
o In the WZC menu, remove all of the preferred networks, and then, restart the PC.
o With the AX configured for WPA Personal, add back the AX's network as your preferred network.
Did WZC find the AX's network? If not, can it find any networks in the local area? If it did not find the AX's network, did it allow you to add it? Can you PC connect to any other wireless network?

MacPro Wireless Card Problems

Hi:
I installed a new wireless card in an early 2009 MacPro (2x2.26GHz 2 core w/ 8GB of RAM).
I've done it before (wires 2 & 3 on the terminals) and the wireless does come up and connects to my router.
Unfortunately, the whole purpose of the exercise was to be able to create a computer-to-computer local network for iPad content development.
When I go to create a local network, I don't have any channels and the connection attempt fails.
Any idea why I don't have channels and how I might get them back?
Thanks.

Third party wireless card problem

I installed a Sitecom WL-171 Wireless Network PCI Card (http://sitecom.com/drivers_result.php?groupid=5&productid=525) and appropriate driver.
I ran the set-up and the card was found and then connected to my WDS network via its own utility program.
The problem is the G4 doesn't seem to recognize this network connection.
I phoned Sitecom who said to change PCI slots which I did but didn't help and Apple want to charge me £35 with no guarantee of a fix!
Is there a simple way to manually configure network connections so the G4 reocognizes the card?

Eventually solved by copying Ethernet ip settings when it was hardwired to router into the PCI Slot 3 settings where the card is housed

Lenovo t60 1951-cto wireless card problems

i recentally purchesed this computer from a freind. i put a fresh install of windows xp sp2 on it right away. iv gotten the ethernet port to work. however i cant find the right wireless driver. in device manager under network adapterers it only shows the ethernet card. under other devices there is still two unknown devices and a modem device on high definition audio bus.... iv tryed multiple drivers. with no luck. does this computer even have built in wireless? it has the wireless symbol by the battery light, but it never comes on. there is also a wireless fn key. but i havent been able to use any of my fn keys. any ideas?

Sorry, let me further add I get the following messages from Access connections after the wireless connection fails....
Error code: 011
Veyify that the encryption settings (WEP/TKIS/AES) specified in this profile match those expected by the wireless network
and
Verify that the wireless adapter in your computer has not been restricted from accessing the radio channels being used by the wireless newtork.
and
The wireless network name (SSID) specified in this profile shares the same radio channel as another wireless network that is in range. To attempt to resolve this conflict, click repair.
None of these messages are helpful or should be the problem. I had been using wireless access on this laptop with the same router for several years before 'uprading' the dirver...that's when my problems started.
