Wireless Lan - Intel Centrino

Hi,
I have had the chance to browse through solaris-x86.org, and it seems like Sun is developing the Intel Centrino Lan (Intel Pro Wireless 2100) drivers for Solaris.
Being a straight foward Solaris user for almost 2 years, and that I'm getting a little out of touch with Linux - Only because I actually know how to use Solaris pretty well and can play with is easily - would anybody have any chance of knowing when the Solaris 9 or 10's driver of the Intel's Wireless Lan miniPCI would be available?
It would be awesome to have a driver for this on Solaris - which then would mean that i can always get rid of my Windows XP from my laptop - which i have for all my desktops...:p
Anyway, thanks for your help.
- Frank

Hi Frank,
You can find the driver at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/downloads/

Wireless Lan with Centrino

Hi!
I'm new in here and i'm using AL for about 3 months now. I installed AL on my Acer Travelmate 661LCI with Intels Centrino Processor. Now i try to install my wireless lan, but it doesnt work!
Intel doesnt support linux, so i decide to use Linuxants Driverloader. But i dont get it work, anyone tried it before?
Sure, i always tried to install Sourceforges NDISwrapper, but it also dont work! The error is, that i have a kernel with SMP support, and i dont know what this mean?
Maybe someone can help me, i dont understand linux so much, that i can solve this problem myswelf! i'm working on this problem since i ve installed arch on my laptop, arg!

My T520 has the same issue. Seems there's a pernicious, hard-to-find kernel bug that leaves some machines unable to boot via their UEFI firmware. There's no real solution right now, just a few work-arounds:
- Boot in legacy (BIOS) mode---you'll need to install a BIOS bootloader (e.g. Syslinux) to do so
- Downgrade to a previous kernel version
- Build the kernel yourself. It'll give you an appreciation for just how weird this bug is, and why it's persisted for so long. I just discovered after this most recent update that I don't even need to build a custom kernel (although I choose to anyway); strangely, the system boots even if I just grab the ABS sources for the vanilla kernel and run "makepkg -i" without making any changes to the PKGBUILD or kernel config at all.
Stranger still, the linux-lts package was updated at the same time, with the same effect---it doesn't boot. This despite being a completely different version.
Thanks for the reply.
I should have mentioned this too. Actually, from past few kernel releases, I am building my own kernel(just vanilla as u mentioned) and using them. Earlier I used to downgrade. But now with the new 3.14 releases, the "own kernel build" option is not working as well for me. Compared to problem with the earlier kernels, the system directly reboots just as soon as I select the option in the boot menu.
I use Arch as my base system which I customized from past 6 months. Hope this issue is addressed soon.

MSI GE60 Wireless Issues Intel Centrino

So I have some problems with my wireless connection sometimes, most of the time it works alright but sometimes all of a sudden it wont let me connect to networks and sometimes when I troubleshoot my connection or network it always says that I have not been assigned an IP-address. It also does not let me release/renew my ipconfig in the commandline interface in Windows 8. I think I had the same problems when I was using Windows 7 though but I can't say for sure since it was a while ago since I had windows 7 installed.
I'm almost 100% sure it's not the service provider's fault since other devices in the house do not suffer the same issue and this has occurred at school and other places as well.
Basically when I am not assigned an ip-address I either have to reboot the entire system or keep deactivating and activating my wireless and troubleshoot it many times before it works again. But every time I troubleshoot it and it finds the error it is because I am not assigned an ip-address. And sometimes even rebooting it doesn't work and I sometimes end up spending almost an entire hour just trying to get back online which is very frustrating. Could this be due to a faulty NIC or is it the drivers? Because I have the latest drivers installed from MSI's website and I have also tried installing the Windows 7 drivers as well but it has been the same result there.
If it is a driver thing, will there be an update which fixes it? If it is a hardware error, is it covered by the warranty? Also I'm not sure if I still have warranty since when I turned the laptop in on my warranty a few weeks ago the "warranty void" sticker under my laptop was not replaced when the laptop was returned to me (something which I just noticed recently).
Edit: I noticed there was an update for my NIC driver on intel's website so I will try that out and post again if it didn't resolve the issue.

Kind of sounds like the hardware is going bad.
Here's my thoughts.....
1. If it's out of warranty, that's not terrible. The wireless card in these laptops is cheap (<$50 on ebay after shipping).
2. If it's in warranty, it's probably easier and cheaper to still buy it on ebay ($30 or so to ship it to MSI in the states and feel 'safe' about the insurance).
If an updated driver doesn't seem to help, just go onto ebay and buy another card. They are cheap, and while it sucks that it's bad, the cheapest option is to just replace it yourself.
If you still want to go the MSI warranty route, >>How to contact MSI.<<

Satellite P10-792: wireless LAN Intel 2100

Hi!
I tried to install INTEL BG 2100 wireless mini-PCI card. Drivers work OK, but they say "Radio off". Nothing changes when I press [FN]+[F7]. Card is OK (tested in some Arima-made notebook).
How can I use the card?

I have a similar problen with my A30 Satallite. Driver installs OK and device works fine but keeps telling me to enable hardware switch. When you say enable switch do you mean somewhere in the system config because I have found that switching to on position does nothing, as iff switch is not connected.

X201 wireless adapter : Thinkpad vs intel centrino?

Hi- I am going to purchase a X201 laptop- but am confused about the wireless adapter option. There is the thinkpad bgn and then intel centrino wireless, advanced and ultimate "n" . The help buttons are of no help. Under what circumstances would I need to opt for one of the intel centrino adaptes? Are they faster or more compatible?

Well I'm not and expert, but in a nutshell, with the right antenna setup and router/access point for each, you get speeds up to:
• ThinkPad Wireless BGN
• Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 BGN
• Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200 AGN
• Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300 AGN
• Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 AGN
ThinkPad Wireless BGN: 150Mpbs transmit/300Mbps receive (Realtek-based last I heard).
Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 BGN: 150Mbps transmit/300Mbps receive.
Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200 AGN: 300Mbps transmit and receive.
Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300 AGN: 450Mbps transmit and receive.
Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 AGN: Adds WiMAX.
These are theoretical maximum speeds and of course the real world rate is lower and ymwv.

Oracle Linux and the Oracle UEK kernel are optimized for server installations and have only limited support for Laptop and Desktop hardware. However, support for your Wifi adapter should be installed by default. You might want to check the following:

WPA issue on Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B

Hi,
I'm trying to use the WPA authentication using my Toshiba's Tecra S1 with an integrated Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B. I've read that this adapter supports WPA. I've installed the newest drivers under my Windows xp SP2, but the OS doesn't allows me to select WPA authentication in the wireless properties.
Any help is wellcome.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The Wlan encryption standard you will find in the WLan properties.
You have to select you SSID and click on the properties.
If there you will not find any option for WPA so this WLan miniPCI card doesnt support this encryption option.
Note: This option depends on the hardware and not on the software. You cannot enable the encryption by updating any drivers or any SP.

Problem arised after updated the intel wireless lan

Hello, everyong
My laptop is T510. I just updated the intel wireless lan to the version of 15.02.0000.1258. After the updates, my wireless router was down when the laptop started. Initially it can connect to the router for a few seconds, then the router was down with all the lights going off except the power light. Once I restart the router, everything goes fine, my laptop is able to connect to the router without any problems. So I have to restart the router everytime when I start my laptop. Please help me. How to fix this problem?

Why do you have to restart the router.
Have you checked the computer WiFi profile? Why or what is not allowing the connection.
You could delete the computer profile in Access or whatever you're using and discover, reconnect to it again as if its the first time. It may resolve the issue which is unknown.

X31 Wireless problems (Intel 2100) and Type Auto detected as 'TP-1-Q___' instead of '2672-NG9'

Hey
I'm a thinkpad fan, and very happy about the good ol' x-series. I have a X31 type '2672-NG9', and it has been to a warranty repair once when the charger failed. At his point I got a new mainboard.
The problem is that the wireless network hasn't been working quite right since I got the mainboard replaced. Last time I made a reinstall of windows (via the Factory defaults service in the IBM bios), I somehow got the wireless to work with Windows' "Wireless Zero Configuration" service. Never got it to work with Access connections, and FN+F5 service couldn't always see the wireless device.
I have just made a reinstall again, and this time I'm not able to install the wireless card at all. When I try to run the driver (I found via the Thinkpad drivers matrix), the card appears for a few seconds, and disappears again.
The driver is called "Intel PRO/wireless LAN 2100 3b Mini PCI adapter" and is found here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-59438
Via the Drivers matrix for the X3x's:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-43800
As said on the page, I made sure that I had the newest Access connections installed (5.30).
When I press FN-F5 i only see the Bluetooth connection, and not the wireless device.
Any ideas solve this problem?
The other problem (and I am assuming that the problems might be connected) is that my x31 laptop is autodetected as the unknown type: 'TP-1-Q___'. This is done by the program at the support homepage, and by the system update program (which makes it totally unusable )
Are there any way of changing this ID for the right type (2672-NG9)?
Kind regards

Ok... last mail from me today...
The status is that my wireless Intel 2100 network card, won't run together with Access Connections. If Access Connections isn't installed, the wirelless card functions great together with the windows Zero Configuration Service, but when i install and launch AC, my wireless card disappears from windows (XP-pro by the way).
To get it work agian, i uninstall AC and reinstall the Intel driver (this often result in a new number for the wireless conection)
I have installed the newest version of Access Connnections, Power Management and Hotkey services.
I have surfed the net and found other people reporting the same problem with this card, and a thinkpad, but no solutions that worked for me yet:

Lenovo Yoga 13 Downgrade to Windows 7 Wireless Lan Driver & USB3.0 Driver

Hey guys,
I have purchased the Yoga 13 in U.A.E in last Feb. with AED4,999.00
But some programms does not work with Windows 8. So I am using Windows7 with multi-boot.
Guess you guys also have such problem.. eventually finding out the WIFI Driver & USB3.0 Driver.
Now, I have succeeded in installing both of them.
1. Wireless Lan Driver : Realtek RTL8723A Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter.
   The way I found this driver is... Download all the REALTEK driver in a designated folder.. of course uncompressed.
   And then using the contraol panel... updated the driver with the designated folder.
   Now it is working very well.
2. USB3.0 Driver
It was an easy game. I just have downloaded thee Intel USB3.0 Driver for Windows7... you could find it through google with easy.
And just installed it. It works very well.
=> You could download the file at http://me2.do/xKBVnWo3
      (just put password : 4321 )
If you guys have problem with above issues... or need the file let me know with my mail at xxxxxxxxxxx
Anyhow, there are still two drivers I couldn't find.

Satellite L300-15V - The system cannot install Wireless LAN driver

After installed all drivers for that machine, the system shows that it need to install Wireless LAN driver, but i did!!! What's going on? Help! I can't make wireless net home!!!!!!

I assume you have tried to install the Realtek WLan driver. Is it right?
Go to this Toshiba WLan driver page:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
and check if you can install the Atheros Wireless LAN driver or the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 driver.

Why does my wireless LAN stop mid session

I start up in the morning and everything is fine, but at some point during the day, my wireless LAN quits. I've changed modems and routers but I still have the problem. My provider sees nothing on his end and other computers on my home network work fine. When I turn the wireless off and back on I get a new lease on wireless until it decides to do it again. I'm running the latest OS X 10.8.2 (3.1 GHz Intel Core i5) with 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3. Has anyone had this problem and if so have you found the solution. Thanks!

CISCO 350 Wireless LAN Module on Solaris

I am running Solaris 8 (6/00) for Intel platform with xFree86 version 4.0.3 on my laptop. My CISCO 350 PCMCIA Wireless LAN module work cannot be used nor detected in Solaris. Can anyone help me with that?

Are you running any other Vm's on the host server?
Are they working? Did you enable your BIOS to support VM?
Then with regards to the install make sure you follow the guide as it can get tricky.
I forgot to add Promiscuous personally. Make double check you Network Backing. I am not running a VM anymore - just recalling where I had issues.
