WiFi Card with Tungsten EH

I just received a PalmOne WiFi card for my Tungsten E2 for Fathers Day and was trying to set it up. I have been very unsuccessful. I have internet capabilities at home and at the office on my PC. I have WiFi capabilities with my laptop at work which allows me to take it anywhere in the building and stay connect to our network and all our application. I do not have a media network plan for my cell phone, but it is capable, I just don't subscribe. Do I need to add the data plan from my service provider (AT&T Wireless) in order for my WiFi card to work/connect to the internet or can it connect to free WiFi networks on it's own?

A cell plan has nothing to do with the Wifi card...
Have you viewed the help file at the top of the BlueTooth and Wifi section of the forum? It explains the basic settings needed to connect. I wrote it for the TX, but it's applicable to the Wifi card too.
Do you know the passwords and encryption settings at work? Have you tried entering them into the Wifi card's settings? Are they broadcasting in /b or mixed mode?
What isn't working at home? Do you have your all your router's settings entered correctly into the E2?

Wifi card with rt2500 chipset not detected

Hi all,
I got a new pci wifi card with chipset rt2500, but I can't make it work. I installed without problems rt2500 driver from beta 3, and when I run ifconfig, the wifi card doesn't show up. If I run iwconfig, ra0 shows up but with no wireless extension. I tried to do iwconfig ra0 mode monitor or managed, and it says "Invalid argument". The card works with a live cd distro (rt2500 driver) and with windows so it's not an hardware problem, and when I do a lspci, card is appearing.
I tried the rt2500-cvs driver, but I have the same problem too.
So I think help is needed

Zanton - maybe this is wrong place to ask this question but please can you tell me how did you compile your own kernel. I'm newbie with Arch and using pci wifi card with chipset rt2500 (not just now ).
I've used Slacware over an year without problems and I think it's little bit tricky to compile Arch-linux kernel with ABS-way because it was so easy in Slack.
So did you compile with ABS http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cus … n_with_ABS or some other way?
I'm using latest rt2500-driver (nightly-cvs) and SMP as well PREEMPT is on!

New wifi card with Bluetooth

Hi,
i search for my Probook 6550b a Mini Pci Express wifi card with bluetooth.
For the moment i have only a wifi card, with this spare part number 572509-001.
My CPU is a Intel I5 M520.
I found on the HP partsurfer site this card 593127-001. But the wifi is not the best on this card.
Are there any other better cards that work?

Wifi Card with the E2

Has anyone out there used/using the palm wifi sd card with the Tungsten E2? How easy is it to work? I was thinking of checking it out but was wondering if it is really worth it. I have a wifi enabled system here and wanted to play around with the E2 and its wifi functions
thanks

Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hello jeridmar6, I've never used the card with an E2, but with my Zire72 it was fun!
It quickly went through the battery's charge, but I used to get a solid hour's worth of Wifi use before needing to recharge.
Just remember, it's a very old card by today's standards and the only security it can do is WEP encryption. If you're running WPA or higher it will require you to back down a bit.

Is it possible to replace the wifi card with another one?

Hi
I have a t400 with intel 5100 wifi card and now I want to install mac os on my laptop.
problem is that mac os does not detect the 5100 series of wifi card and I want to know whether it is possible to replace the current 5100 model with a older series?
Is there any certified service center in Uppsala/ Sweden to do that?
Thanks,

Lenovo restricts the wireless cards to Lenovo branded units certified to work with the machine. This is done through a whitelist in the system BIOS. I recently disassembled the latest (version 3.14-1.06) T500/W500 BIOS and found the following whitelist table. This is raw big endian hex appended with what I found by searching the device ID's. Redundant entries are for varying vendor IDs.

Your T400 is from the same lineup and probably has the same list. Remember, you'll need to purchase a Lenovo branded unit.

Replacing the Realtek wifi card with an Intel one

Hey everyone,
I am trying to replace the poor performing realtek wifi module with an Intel Centrino one on my T420.
I purchased an "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205" which is one of the chips the T420 comes with.
Apparently my chip is not whitelisted, as I could not boot with it plugged in.
Lenovo support was unable to tell me where to get a Lenovo branded chip.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Hello and welcome,
As you've discovered, wifi cards have to be the correct model (Intel xyz) and have a Lenovo FRU number.
I can't link to the T420 Hardware Maintenance Manual at the moment - support is undergoing maintenance
Here are the Intel models and FRUs from my local T420 HMM:
Wireless-N 1000       60Y3241
Advanced-N 6205 (2x2 AGN) 60Y3253
Ultimate-N 6300                       60Y3233
Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250, WW SKU       60Y3195
Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250, Russia SKU   60Y3209
Hopefully that helps your search.

Can I replace stock wifi card with an Intel 6235 Wifi/Bluetooth PCI-e card in my N580?

I have a PCI-e WiFi/BT combo card that worked in my HP laptop, but when I put it in the N580, It would not boot and said the wifi card was not authorized and I would have to remove it and replace with an authorized card. There are SO many different card available, I just want to find the correct one that will fit in the BIOS Whitelist.
I'm looking for a Dual Band wifi with Bluetooth 4.0 preferred. Something like this. Would this one on eBay work or is there another card I would need.
Thanks!

Hello and welcome,
Whatever card you use, it MUST have a Lenovo FRU number. Cards that will pass the BIOS whitelist have been modified to provide a specific subsystem ID to BIOS. Reputable sellers will list the Lenovo FRU if their card is compatible.
For example, a generic Intel 6150NX will not pass the whitelist, but a 6150NX with a 20002543 FRU number will pass.
Here's the list from the N580 Hardware Maintenance Manual:

Palmone wifi card with palm zire72

completly lost dont no where to go to make this work any help would be nice i guess its not like a plug and play device haha

Wifi card cannot start (Code 10) with 4 port USB2.0 hub inserted

Hello,
I could use some help with the following:
I have an IBM Thinkpad 390X 2626 L0A with 512MB and W2K SP4, for internet/networking I use an Wifi card with an Atheros AR2413A chipset. This setup works great but recently I bought a 4 port USB2.0 hub cardbus with a VIA VT612 chip.
When I insert the USB hub in the second (top) slot and conect a memory stick to it the internet/networking connection falls away. Properties in devicemanager shows: Cannot start device, Code 10.
When I restart with both cards inserted I get the same message.
When I use both cards in a Toshiba Tecra 8000 256MB and W2K SP4 they both work fine. So it looks like the cards are working fine.
I installed all the latest drivers and BIOS for the Thinkpad and for the cards.
My questions are:
Is there anyone with the same problem.
Is there a kown solution. Maybe some changes in the registry.
Could a program like CardWizard help.
Any other advice is also welcome.
Thanks,
Antoine

Glad to be joining ship.
I also thought about an IRQ conflict. But W2K SP4 should be able to handle that and actually doesn't allow you to manually change IRQ settings. Device manager shows both cards on/with IRQ 7. Maybe there is something I can do with the PCI manager in Configuration Manager but I wouldn't know what. It just reads Device 1,3,4 on IRQ 11 en Device 2 on IRQ 5.
I think it is most likely a power issue, since the Wifi-card uses (relatively) a lot of power. Using Configuration Manager I already shut down all not used ports (serial, parallel, joystick, IR and modem) and I also tried disabling the PCI power management in BIOS.
I'm looking for a tweak (registry) to boost the power to the pcmcia slots or just the slot containing the wifi-card, or to assign a different IRQ to each slot/device. Also I would like to try the Card Wizard program that was available for the NT versions.

Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wifi Card - Possible Issues [SOLVED]

Dear Lucky owners of such a card, At least from my experience I realized it is not that bad card, even if most probably many production pieces were faulty or not working properly, and many issues can be resolved. Let me list in order of time the issues I faced and solved about this wifi card: 0) First issue is not about RT3290 card itself but it is related to 802.11w encryption compatibility in between Windows8 and Cisco not allowing 802.11n speed rates so failing to G speeds only. - SOLUTIONS: a. As first test I would recommend trying another router from different brand to see if connecting at 802.11n speed rates b. If you prove point a issue, then try to fix the issue based on following post (in which you can see the reply from myself Emanuele on the 29th of Nov 2014): https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/113836/windows-8-clients-cant-associate-cisco-unified-wireless 1) Signal strenght issue: original wifi card RT3290 installed on my HP laptop was having really bad antenna, with signal fluctuating and sometimes bad even really close to any Router I tried. - SOLUTION: Replace the RT3290 card even with same new card. (In my case as laptop was under warranty, I proved the issue via screenshots and they replaced with new card solving my signal strenght issue). 2) Original issue (1) was actually resolved after HP replaced the wifi card with same model, but with the latest driver installed 5.0.45 seems like wifi rates change too frequently based on high sensitivity of the driver itself, so that suggested me issue was still there, so making me re-testing anything from scratch. - SOLUTION: Install 5.0.37 Driver - frequent rate changes issue (with driver 5.0.45) disappears and sensitivity of signal to rate changes seems to be a really good compromise to have good throughput. 3) To check out 2nd issue above I started again using a third party software inSSIDer free version to check signal while I was doing speedtest on web.
- RESOLUTION:
inSSIDer normally works on Windows7 without any issue but on Windows8 (at least tested with RT3290) I have just discovered somehow this software was slowing down wifi card performance drastically showing a speed up to 0.1Mbps rather than 40Mbps. Simply closing the application issue was not recurring, so uninstalled it and after solving all the other issues above this card works perfectly (at least so far ) Hope this post will be informative and will help other about-to-get-mad guys as me

Hye. After I read up your solutions, I am quite impressive and really want to try out those solutions. However, I am not very computer wise and I really appreciate if you make a video on solving this problem. Up to you if you want to upload it on the youtube (so that others with similar problem can view it and solve the problem too) or you want to direct email to me ( [email protected] ). I really hope you can help me because I am stuck with this problem since last year. Thank you!!!

Satellite C50: Has anyone ugraded Atheros to Intel WiFi card?

Has anyone actually replaced the Atheros wifi card with the Intel centrino one?
If so can you recommend one with 2.4/5mps.
Does the C50 have two internal antennae?
I take it the card in under the keyboard?

Hi
Hmm I guess even if keyboard removal isnt very difficult for people with disassembling experiences, you would lose the warranty.
Therefore I would think twice performing such procedure.
But I guess you will need to disassemble the whole notebook (removal of bottom cover would be necessary) in order to get access the WLan card.
In my opinion this is more tricky as an simple keyboard removal.
If I would be you, I would ask some authorized service engineer for WLan card replacement.

Tungsten T3 with PalmOne WiFi Card & Email

I recently bought the PalmOne Wi-Fi card for my T3. I managed to connect to my home network which is a Linksys WRT54G, and did connect with the internet. Now I'm trying to manage my email account with the T3. It is programmed in order to email from the T3 through cradle synchronization and works fine. I unchecked that part and believe I've got everything set. However I keep getting the following message: "ERR [AUTH] invalid user/password".
So the first question is; Can email be sent from the T3 with a WiFi card? If so, what am I missing. Thanks in advance. Frans

So with these setting, the end tab I get is "Connecting to SMTP server", whci stays for approximately 30 seconds. After that it states it was unable to send this message. No response from SMTP Server.
So I'm stuck from here-on. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! Frans

Tungsten E2: WiFi card "not supported"

I recently updated my Tungsten E2 with the most recent version of the WiFi software from the Palm Website. No problems with installation, but turning the WiFi on in my settings menu gives me an error message stating "The card in the SIDO slot is not a palmOne supported WiFi card." Pretty sure the card is a Palm card. Any ideas out there? I noticed a similar thread asking this question, but it was about 3 years ago, and no answers were received other than a suggestion to do a soft reset, which I did without success.
Thanks in advance for the help!!
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

I haven't read the instructions for installing the updated Wi-Fi card driver, but did you delete the old one first before installing the new one?
What I'd try next (only once you have a current backup via Hotsync) is a Hard Reset. BEFORE you Hotsync your stuff back to the E2, go through the diagnostic process of renaming the Backup folder on your desktop...this will allow your regular PIM data to return, but nothing else. Your Backup folder is located on this path:
(using Palm Desktop 4.x):
c > program files > palm (or palmone) > [your device folder, usually an abbreviation of your Palm's name, or perhaps a combination of your initials, etc.] > backup
(using Palm Desktop 6.2.2):
my documents > palm OS desktop > [your device folder] > backup
After you do this, go ahead and Hotsync. Then, reinstall ONLY the new Wi-Fi card driver. You should be able to just double-click on the .prc file from the renamed "backupold" folder. If it works, then reinstall your other apps one at a time. If it doesn't, then I dunno...maybe root around for the original driver and reinstall that? If you don't have the original disc, maybe you'll find it in the Backup or the Archive folder on your desktop.
Good luck, let us know how it goes.

About wifi card for the tungsten e

is there any wifi card that would possibly work for the tungsten e. the guy i bought it from had a card that worked with it but he kept it. and he showed me that it worked. i know something has to work if you could help me that would be great. thanks
Post relates to: Tungsten E

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
Palm's own Wi-Fi card (which has been discontinued anyway) was not compatible with the Tungsten E. (Sure you're not talking about the E2?)
You might try searching, which brought up this device. Otherwise, maybe ask the person you bought if from what kind of card it is. I am not specifically aware of any Wi-Fi cards to use with the Tungsten E.
