Wireless fails after Lenovo driver update (X40 23718EU; Atheros 11b/g Mini PCI)

I use Windows XP SP2. My wireless LAN adaptor driver was old (ver 3.1.102.23) and did not support WPA2 protocol so I updated it from the Lenovo site using this driver download: Windows XP, 2000 06 Oct 2009 v7.6.1.260b
Immediately afterward on IBM Access Connections screen, the "Enable wireless radio" menu item no longer would turn the radio on. (I did manage to turn the radio on using Device Manager properties Advanced tab Radio On/Off setting.) Also on that screen, I could no longer see any wireless networks in the "Find wireless networks" button.
So, before I do more damage, any thoughts? Some questions occur to me, not sure if any of them is useful?
1. Since I went directly to Lenovo to download the driver, is the Windows driver Rollback feature likely to work or just to make things worse? (I never heard of Rollback before today.)
2. I could find no good help poking around Lenovo documentation. Atheros seems even less helpful.
3. Has anyone successfully installed a driver lately on Thinkpad X series for this Atheros WLAN adaptor for Win XP?
4. Although I think it's a waste of time, I did try the Windows setup a wireless network wizard for the device. No luck there yet, either.
Have to reboot now, will update if anything new shows up afterward...

Thank you so much for this posting! I had the same problem until I followed your instructions.
The radio is still listed as being "off" on the "show status window", but hey, I'm connected to my wireless network with a wpa-psk password, I can access the internet and use the printer, so all is well. Or will be when I get System Manager to work right - how many hours does a virus scan take, anyway?
Hi and welcome to the forum!
The radio should say "off", but the status should say "on". The button is just like electricity's switch, "Radio off" literally means to turn off device.
As for virus scan, it depends on which one you're using and the amount of data your drive contains.
Hope this helps.

Start up error and beats audio crackling after realtech driver update

I am having several issues.
If I plug in a external hard drive, the OS will not start and goes to "press esc for start up menu" in lower left corner on a black screen. I press esc and it goes to boot options. I have done what HP states and hard started my computer twice and it did not help, and I have found no other suggestion to try and fix this. I have tried everything, including a system recovery and it still goes to the start up menu options. If I disconnect the external, it will still appear, but the operating system will start up after a few seconds. Why do I have to disconnect my external to start OS. And for some reason, my external has been seated in the hardrive section of my computer, instead of the removable storage devices in my computer.
Also, after updating realtech driver, my beats audio speakers pops and cracks. I tried to roll back driver, but no changes. Please help. I dont want to go thru the trouble of sending my computer back for repair. This is really upsetting!!!! I cannot play any videos or music, because of the crackling. Why did it do that, and is it fixable. My laptop has not been jarred or dropped in any manner to have caused any damage. It started after the driver update, and even tho I rolled back the driver, it still does this.

Hi @rbuckner35 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 17t-f000 Notebook and issues with Beats Audio and startup issues. The startup looks at the USB as one of your Boot options. So it can not load anything until it know that this is not a boot device.
You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which could resolve the issue with the sound.
Here is a fix that has helped others.
1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner by your time.
2. Click Playback Devices.
3. Click Speakers.
4. Click properties.
5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
7. Apply the properties.
8. Click OK to close the properties window.
I hope this helps.

[Solved] Atheros Wireless Fails after Update

After the update to kernel 3.6.37 the wireless on my Macbook pro is close to useless, but used to work very well before. Madwifi was upgraded as well but I suspect another problem.
Using WICD there is no wireless at all! With networkmanager the available networks are visible and sometimes logs on. However, the network fails quickly and starts asking for the password - most of the time it is useless typing in the password again. So the wireless is basically working but very unstable with networkmanager and non-existent anymore with WICD.
Any ideas?

Found out more which might be significant for madwifi users:
According to the wiki I loaded the following modules in rc.conf: ath-hal, ath9k, wlan
Beside this one line in the modprobe.conf should be added: alias ath0 ath_pci. This way wicd as well as networkmanager used ath0 for connecting to wireless.
After the update I noticed that there is another wifi device in ifconfig listed: wlan0. So I suspected that 2 devices pointing at the same hardware may cause the instability, but de-activating one by ifconfig didn't help. Now I noticed by loading the modules one by one that the new ath9k is already defining wlan0 and the wireless starts working without loading the module wlan. It looks stable so far, but if I should be right I'm impossibly the only one having this trouble.
Confirmation would be nice, but I will mark this thread "solved" now.

[SOLVED] Wireless fails after suspending (Realtek 8192se)

This problem is already solved on the first post: I spent so long trying to solve it that I thought people should know the solution.
I have a Lenovo X100e with a Realtek 8192SE wireless card. I'm running kernel 3.0. The machine has, since upgrading to the 3.0 kernel had the annoying problem of failing wireless connections after suspending: I'll have a running wireless connection, then suspend the machine, and then wake the machine up and the machine cannot connect to any wireless network (perhaps the same one I was connected to before, in the same place).
Things that did not work:
Installing the Realtek drivers from their website
Downgrading the kernel from 3.1 to 3.0
Using wicd instead of networkmanager
Walking around
Other distributions
The solution was to put an entry in /etc/pm/config.d/config:
SUSPEND_MODULES="rtl8192se rtlwifi mac80211 cfg80211"
Now the machine reconnects with no problems.
This may be the solution to the other big problem I was having with the 3.1 kernel: I would suspend the machine by any means and the screen goes black and the machine becomes non-responsive without actually suspending. I may try upgrading to the 3.1 kernel and adding radeon to the SUSPEND_MODULES list above.

Blank screen after display driver update Satellite Pro P200

I installed the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 display driver (8.432, from the Toshiba site via Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. On rebooting everything looks fine as far as the Windows Vista Business "Please wait ..." screen, but instead of displaying the login page I get a blank screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as normal). All I can do at this point is power off, and I've run out of ideas on how to get any further.
Things I've tried:
# booting into safe mode, low-resolution video or last known good configuration all result in the same blank screen.
# connecting to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) isn't possible because the system hasn't loaded the network drivers yet.
# I can't revert to a restore point because Vista can't find any (I made a manual one after installing windows updates on a couple of days ago).
I can run a command prompt from the system recovery options and would prefer to use that to disable the driver +if+ I knew how before resorting to the more drastic options.
A web search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
previous releases of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at give a solution that's available to me.

No joy with an external screen so I bit the bullet and reinstalled from the product recovery disk. I tried expert mode to retain the data partition but that failed twice, so I had to restore it from the previous day's backup after doing a full reinstall. Two consolations, though.
# It allowed me to increase the size of the data partition.
# The display driver update worked fine on the fresh install.
Needless to say I've since found [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525] which describes how you can disable a problem device driver (atikmdag in my case) from the system recovery command prompt :-(
Hopefully the instructions in there will help anybody who gets caught with similar problems.

Poor resolution of dektop after nvidia driver update

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion Media center 8020n PC connected to HP w1907 monitor with optimum resolution of 1440X900 at 60 hz.
The display adapter is Nvidia GE force 7350 LE. It has Windows vista home premium with Intel Core 2 processor.
I recently updated the video driver from nvidia website version 266.58. Right after the download at the first bootup there was a big difference in the screen resolution. The picture is not crisp and sharp like it was before the update.
I have tried to uninstall the new driver, unnstall the old driver and restart in safe mode with the antivirus off but it still gives the same poor resolution with streched out picture.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Look here for a monitor driver update. Install the driver and reboot. Then check the monitor type in the Device Manager. Now does it indicate the HP 1907 monitor?

WiFi fails after 2.2 update

After 2.2 update
Wifi analyzer Sees my Router as Strong Signal
If I actuate WiFi, it connects to my Router/SSiD
WiFi Icon is on the Top Bar
When I open the Browser to go to a web page, the WiFi Icon disappears and The Screen shows Web Page Unabailable.
Then the Wifi Icon comes back but the web page is still unabailable
If I try to navibate to another Web Page, the Wifi icon again disappears etc etc
When I leave WiFi off, the browser opens web pages nicely and I can watch News casts with some pauses for buffering.
Pre 2.2 I could not watch the News casts but the wifi would bring up web pages rapidly.
Any Assistance will be appreciated.

You will find UMM under QoS Setup within the router's setup.
I have tested both encryption (AES) and Open Security and the WiFi Connection remains connected.
My DroidX did not seem to be happy with UMM enabled.
If anyone corrects their unstable WiFi Connection by disabling UMM on any router, please share your results. Thanks!

Photosmart C4780 - Prints extra page even after HP driver update installed

With Mavericks (OS X 10.9.4) installed, I have noticed that completed print jobs remain in the print queue for my HP Photosmart C4780 when printing from Safari and Preview. If I want to print another (different page), I usually have to delete the previous (100% complete) job from the queue so that the printer will print (I seem to recall that sometimes, with a Google Chrome browser, this is not necessary). If I close my MacBook Pro's lid (which puts it to sleep) with a completed print job remaining in the HP queue, it will then print again for a second time.
Today, I installed the driver update below, but the problem did not go away when I tried to print from Safari and Preview.

Sure - restart your router, your printer and your Mac. It should print faster (especially with a router restart).

Wireless fails after pacman update

I had my wireless functional but after the latest set of updates it somehow broke.
It's a Broadcom wireless that uses the b43 driver.
I wrote myself a little cheater list when I first set up the wireless. The commands appear okay but when I attempt to get to the net I get a network unreachable error when I attempt to ping anything.
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID
I see the available wireless. 2WIRE824 is my router.
ESSID:"2WIRE824"
ESSID:"Enforcer24GHz"
ESSID:"2WIRE409"
ESSID:"2WIRE907"
ESSID:"BAMFs"
I submit my key and attempt to connect to my router
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "2WIRE824" key **mykey**
sudo dhcpcd wlan0
returns --> dhcpcd[797]: sending commands to master dhcpcd process
now when I try to ping anything I get network unreachable.
What has changed (or what am I missing) that broke the wireless?
I have all my wireless profiles that haven't changed and they are still listed in /etc/rc.conf
I've even tried
sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel auto
despite my cheatsheet stating to use that only if the dhcpcd times out.

I had asked about systemd because I have noticed it sometimes starts things that have been installed and are lying around dormant if they were not in the DAEMONS array. I have been bitten...
So, you said...

I would like to see the output of a second iwconfig without any switches or parameters performed a few seconds after that first one, just as you wrote it. I want to establish if you are actually associating with the AP. You should see the MAC of the AP in that output.
Then, you said

Okay, the wlan has no address, as expected. The carrier, however should be up.
[arch-nicky@arch-nicky ~]$ ip link set wlan0 up
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
But you have to run that as root
So, put the interface up as root.
Try to associate with sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "2WIRE824" key **mykey**
Pause. Run iwconfig
If it associates, then run dhcpcd wlan0 . Don't waste your time if it does not associate.
If you are still having trouble, look at the output of rfkill list
One last thought. Are you trying to connect to the same router as you are wired to? You should be able to associate, but you may have routing issues later.

Tsclient drive redirection fails after wrt54g firmware update

Recently updated firmware on WRT54g wireless router. Ever since am unable to redirect drives in rdp client session to 2003TS. The drives show up as "system folder" on the server, no drive letters visible, not accessible.
This happens with all PC's on my home network. If I shut down my wireless router and poach a neighbors connection using my laptop the drive redirection works as before.
Any ideas?

Are you able to access the drive before upgrading the firmware ?
If yes, reset the router as it is recommended by Linksys that you should reset and reconfigure the router after resetting .
Press and hold the reset for 30 seconds .
Power cycle the router and modem .
Open the setup page of the router and configure it again .

Wireless networking fails after AirPort Extreme Update 2007-003

I have just tried installing AirPort Extreme Update 2007-003 on a MacBook Pro and wireless networking, which used to work, now no longer works.
My wireless network consists of the MBP and a Thomson Speedtouch 585 ADSL modem/router.
The symptom is that no connection can be obtained - the Airport menubar item flashes continually about once a second, as does the WLAN activity light on the 585.
The Console.log reports (repeatedly) that "configd crashed" and the corresponding information in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/configd.crash.log says that:
"Command: configd
Path: /usr/sbin/configd
Parent: launchd [1]
Version: ??? (???)
PID: 473
Thread: 1
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xb1e0cf60"
(There is a lot more diagnostic info - which I can supply if it helps)
All system software is up to date (Tiger 10.4.9) - I had just run the system updater.
If I disable Airport (i.e. wireless networking) and connect the MBP to the 585 by Ethernet, then it all works fine.
Something similar happened to my system about 4 weeks ago - I got around it that time by rerunning the MacOS 10.4.9 Combo update - but this time that doesn't work.
Any suggestions on why configd is crashing and how to stop it?
MacBookPro 15" Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks for your help
Curiouser & curiouser!
My answer was going to be that keychain had nothing to do with the problem. If I log in as a different user (even a freshly-created one), I still get the same symptoms. I was also getting the same symptoms with a rescue copy of 10.4.9 on an external hard disk.
However, I thought I would have a look at my keychain using the Keychain Access utility (which, I seem to remember, has some recovery/repair functions). Lo and behold, the Keychain Access utility crashes after about 2 seconds and the crash report in ~/library/logs looks similar to one for configd. Here is a sample:

So it looks as if something is messing up my keychain (all my keychains?) and that in turn crashes both configd and keychain access.
Do you have any suggestions on where to go from here? There are two issues:
How to stop keychain getting corrupted again?
How to repair the corrupted keychain if I can't use Keychain Acess? - can you just delete the keychain file and then re-enter passwords as and when necessary?
Meanwhile I can experiment with reloading my rescue copy of 10.4.9. If this fault is reproducable, then I guess I ought to file a bug report with Apple

No sound recorded on the internal microphone after SoundMAX driver update (Windows XP)

My internal microphone is not picking up sound after I upgraded my SoundMAX driver (available from the Lenovo website here) to version 5.10.1.571.* It looks like this was a problem before and was supposedly fixed in 5.10.1.5520 which is included in the version I have.
I have tested the audio through the Control Panel utility, i.e., Sounds and Audio Devices Properties - Voice - Test hardware. No dice: my voice could not be detected. I also tested via the Windows XP sound recorder utility, i.e., Accessories - Entertainment - Sound Recorder. Same result: silence.
In the Control Panel's Sounds and Audio Devices Properties, I have verified that the Default device for Audio and Voice (playback and recording) all are set to "SoundMAX HD Audio." The SoundMAX software that ships with this laptop (also called "control panel") is very scaled back. There doesn't appear to be anything interesting there to adjust.
Thanks in advance.
* I updated the driver because I was troubleshooting my original problem. My plug and play Logitech laptop speaker suddenly stopped working. Alas, that problems remains and I have created a new one.

Remote Desktop Fail after March 10 Updates!

I updated client servers with MS updates as usual over the weekend remotely. Tried to remotely log into 2 of the servers after they rebooted; Server 2008 R2 and 2008 Standard, and was denied with "Your credentials did not work" message at the top
of the dialog. Administrator, other IDs did not work. Only way to log into either server was to drive into the client (on Sunday) and login from the console. Once logged in from the console I was able to RD into each. If the server is rebooted RD is again
unavailable until logged in from the console. I am now seeing that remote access works for a while but in some cases becomes unavailable after a while. The problem only seems to affect server 2008 and 2012 variants.
Backed out the following updates and the problem remained: KB3002657, KB3033929, KB3046049, KB3035131, KB3034344, KB3032359, KB3039066, KB3035132, KB3035126, KB3033889, KB3032323, KB3030377. Then I restored the System State from the day before the updates but
the problem is still present.
Unfortunately, this particular client has around 30 remote users who need to login every day. The only workaround I've found is to log their IDs in at the console first. Then they can connect remotely. Others have reported this problem and one post leads me
to believe it could be an issue with 2008/2012 RDS boxes on a 2003 Domain Controller. Any help appreciated or, MS: Please Get This Fixed!

We are both in the same boat.
While it's nice to know that Microsoft gives us these broken updates so we can charge customers, there is that "loyalty" factor to our customers in which we end up absorbing the many hours of troubleshooting and research time spent.
Failing to find a suitable solution to this problem by end of day I will attempt to remove ALL 27 Security Updates that were installed to see if this resolves the issue.
What scares me is that you probably removed the applicable ones and that we will be in the same situation after removal.

DocumentBuilder.parse() fails after CLOB is updated

I have written a java application that reads XML content stores in a CLOB column in a 9.2.0.5 database. The application works just fine until the contents of the CLOB is modified, then I get the fatal error shown below.
I am using classes from the javax.xml.parsers.* package to process the XML content. Using an OracleStatement and OracleResultSet I read the CLOB column into a CLOB variable (named clob) using the getCLOB() method. I then create an InputSource using the following statement:
InputSource source = new InputSource(clob.getAsciiStream());
and then create a Document using the following the statements:
builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
outDoc = builder.parse(source);
The parse method works fine until the CLOB is updated (using TOAD) and then it fails. I have modified the program to print the contents of the CLOB using the methods described in the Oracle JDBC guide; using a while loop, CLOB.read() and StringBuffer. I have noticed that the output before and after the CLOB is updated is definitely different; there is extraneous information following the XML document - I just don't understand why this happens.
[Fatal Error] :23:10: Content is not allowed in trailing section.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in trailing section.

rangelot,
Could be a bug in the JDBC driver you are using. Sorry, I couldn't find any details, in your post, of which one you are using.
JDBC drivers also need to be compatible with JDK versions. Have you verified that yours is compatible?
JDBC drivers are supposed to be backward compatible, so maybe using the latest Oracle JDBC driver may resolve this problem.
Have you checked the MetaLink Web site? This may be a known issue. If not, then you can always report it as a bug (also on MetaLink).
Good Luck,
Avi.
