WPA Support for Tecra 9100

Hi all,
anyone know if there is WPA support for the internal WLAN module in the Tecra 9100 in the works, or even available?
Regards,
Tom

Hi,
I have talked to my Toshiba Call Center ( for Germany ) and they said that there will be no WPA support for the internal WLAN Module.Not even planned !
bye

How to use engineer's diagnostic CD for Tecra 9100

Has anyone used the Tecra Engineer's Diagnostic CD for the 9100 (or any other model if they are similar)? I have acquired the CD and have been able to get some of the diagnostics tests to run by booting to DOS 6.22 and the running the tests straight off the CD. There is probably a "correct" way to use this CD but I do not have any documentation.
Specifically, I'm trying to diagnose an irksome sound card problem -- it's not recognized by Windows and I can't install the Yamaha drivers. I've basically replaced EVERYTHING on this laptop and still no sound.
By EVERYTHING, I mean: both mainboards (upper/lower); sound card (three different cards!); CPU --- what else is there that could be connected to sound?
Anyway, if anyone can provide some guidance on using the Tecra 9100 Engineer's Diagnostic CD it would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you have experience in computers but such CD was designed especially for the diagnostic tests on the Toshiba notebooks.
It has nothing to do with the usual computer tests and was designed not for everyone.
I think the service technicians need more documentations as only such CD to run a diagnostic test.
Such documentations are available only for the service partners and not for common persons therefore you will not find such documents for a personal usage.
By the way; I agree with Silas. Its a stupid idea to post something about the engineers CD in the Toshiba forum because such CD its not for everyone.

Tecra 9100: Trying to install updadet driver for Yamaha AC XG soundcard

Hi all,
I have got a Tecra 9100 and as many other people I've got problems after installing SP2.
I tried to install the sound card by using the driver downloaded from the toshiba support page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000001b59
but I get a windows pop up saying that the file yacxg.sys is missing.
After that the installation is ended and the sound card is not installed.
Is there anyone that can help me?
Thanks,
Joazinho

Hi Massimo
Sorry but I think you have lost the objectivity. I have Tecra 9100 for years now and, for me, it is one of the best business notebook models. I tell you why. I do not know exactly how long but I am sure for about 4 years now I use this notebook preinstalled with WXP SP2 and W2000. I have installed both operating systems successfully and I really do not understand what your problem is. Nice notebook with very good performance. With right OS configuration it runs perfectly.
I have one friend and he is like you. If something does not work how he thinks it should be it is the end of the world. Knowing him I can say that problem is not customer support but customers stubbornness.
By the way: have you checked Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Update information?
Have a nice day.

Hi speed USB via an Advanced Port Replicator for a Tecra 9100?

I have the same issue with a Tecra 9100 and upgrading it to hi speed USB as an earlier post where the suggested solution was to use a PCMCIA card.
(see link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=24103)
I had an idea but i don't know if it will work and need some advice?????
Can you buy an Advanced Port Replicator that has Hi Speed USB 2.0 ports on it (like the APR II PA3082U which works with the Tecra 9100) instead of the PCMCIA card.
If the Port Replicator docks into the motherboard will it give you Hi Speed USB 2.0 or is the Tecra 9100 constrained to USB 1.1 via the hardware within the laptop itself and the port replicator won't help?
Also if I go down the Port Replicator route do i need any drivers for the Hi speed ports of the Port Replicator to work on the Tecra 9100?
Or to ask the question another way - what does the PCMIA USB 2.0 card have in it that the Advanced Port Replicator with hi speeed USB doesn't have?
Many thanks in advance

Hi there,
the Tecra 9100 has NO usb 2.0 and thats a fact. Since the port replicator has these USB 2.0 ports does not mean that your machine, when docked to the Portrep, is able to handle USB 2.0 devices. The portrep is just like an usb-hub and behaves like. So if your machine doesnt have it then thats it.
And the explanation to the PCMCIA/Cardbus solution:
The pcmcia card has USB 2.0 Chipset, thats the reason why it IS a USB 2.0 device (roothub).
I hope that was clear for you :)
Just purchase that card and you will have USB 2.0

EA6500 support for Wi-Fi devices on WPA (TKIP)

Although EA6500 states support for WPA devices it appears that some B devices (like HP Wi-Fi printer PSC 2510) are not supported. The lack of support seems due to the lack of WPA with TKIP encryption, only the newer EAS encryption appears to be available.

pompekw,
You should consider cascading your WRT54G to a new router. That way you can keep your legacy devices.
I have legacy devices too. And that's what I do. If your WRT54G is broken, you can pick up a refurb wireless router that supports WEP and WPA TKIP and B/G for $20. And then you just cascade it to your new router. Use Lan-to-Lan cascade (or bridge mode instructions depending on whether or not the secondary router supports bridge mode). If your WRT54G still works, you can use it as the secondary router (which is what I do).

Tecra 9100, a blue screen appears

When I start up Novell GroupWise on my Tecra 9100 a blue screen appears? Very weird. Can anyone help me to stop this.

ditto--happened on my machine too. I found out that this blue screen can appear if True Color (32 bit) is selected under Colors in Display Properties. Both of you will have to download the update for the Display Driver from the Toshiba support pages. There is a txt file provided for instruction

Replace power adapter for Tecra 8100

Hi support,
I have Tecra 8100 where its original power adapter has died. I need to buy a new one, but I found that Toshiba has replaced the PA2444U adapter model with a new model. Which power adapter model that is now compatible with Tecra 8100?
Thanks. I really need an answer because I need to work with the laptop.

The Tecra 8100 will function with many adapters from Tecra 8000, 8200, 9000, 9100 and the M1, M2 range etc.
There are of course differences in the output current rating, but in practice it is still possible to use a higher output adapter without issue, provided the voltage is 15V DC.
For example, I am currently using a model PA2450U (15V, 3A) plugged into my Tecra 9100 port replicator and this works fine. The only potential down side is that it might take longer to charge the battery than it would with the correct model (which would be rated 4A).
This means you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a suitable substitute.

Is Port Replicator from Tecra 9100 compatible with Tecra M5?

I have a port replicator (model PA3082E 1PRP) for my malfunctioning 3 year old Tecra 9100. I am buying a Tecra M5. Do I need to get a new Port Replicator for the M5 or is my old one compatible with the new computer?

Hi
I think it should be compatible.
But on the Toshiba options and accessories site I have found only these supported devices with M5:
Advanced Port Replicator III PA3314E-1PRP
Advanced Port Replicator III plus PA3474E-1PRP
USB 2.0 Port Replicator II (Ethernet / EU Version) PX1173E-1PRP
USB 2.0 Port Replicator II (Ethernet / UK Version) PX1173U-1PRP
In my knowledge this are the newest port replicators which are available maybe therefore the old devices are not listed.
I think you could try to connect carefully the notebook with your old port replicator.

Tecra 9100: WiFi not detected by WIndows XP

Hi! I have a Tecra 9100, which has just been reinstalled with a recovery disk and all Win XP updates and patches has been done. And all Toshiba specific issues have been fixed.... BUT still my WiFi card is not found by the OS. What could be the problem?
My Bluetooh works all fine, and responds to power on/off, but there is no reaction from the WiFi card. I have also tried to replace the WiFi board with another, but still no action.
Is there a "power-supply" only for the WiFi board that could be checked? An y other components that can be replaced? I have another computer that I can take/switch components from...
Edit: I have also upgraded the BIOS to 1.60

Hi, and thank You for the answer.
The OS does not recognice the WLAN card in the device manager, and there really is a WiFi card in the PC, and it is a compatible one.
Both cables are connected in the same places as on the first WiFi card, and the WLAN drivers are also installed...
Switch in front is enabled, and I hvae tried the Fn+F8, but nothing happens.
Is there any drawings of connections internal in the PC anywhere, or install instructions for installing WiFi card just to ensure that everything is done right? My guess is that either is there a lack of power to thw WiFi card or there is a error on the mainboard / bus that does that the OS will not see the WiFi card, but any other options / suggestions are welcome to be tried...

No AR5008 WPA2 Support for XP

I just recently purchased a MacBook Pro and loaded it up with Windows XP. Much to my dismay, the wireless driver seems to lack support for WPA2 under XP, only giving me the option of WPA(1). And that really ***** seeing as to how the AirPort Extreme that I also purchased does not support WPA(1), only giving me the option of WPA2. I had to bust out an older linksys Wireless-G router to get on my network with the older security protocol!!
If I am running OS X 10.5.1 or Windows Vista, I can connect to the airport with WPA2, but using XP, I am stuck with WPA(1). Anyone know where I can find the appropiate driver for Windows XP?
As a side note, the wireless card shows up as AR5008 under XP and as AR5008X under Vista. However the Vista driver does not work under XP.

Sorry for not checking on my own question. I just decided to use Vista instead. As for the answer to your question, no, the patch did not work.
That particular patch is part of Service Pack 2 and therefore does not need to be installed separately.
The Atheros website says that they don't supply a WPA2 driver for XP for this wireless chipset!! I think that is garbage, but what can one man do.
Anyways, I find myself using OS X more and more these days :-P So, I will just use Vista for my (diminishing) Windows needs.

Support for AVM ISDN PCMCIA Card in Solaris 10 ?

Hi all,
I would like to install Solaris 10 on my Toshiba Tecra S1 notebook. Today I use an ISDN-Card (AVM FritzCard, PCMCIA) for dial-up connections under Windows XP. Are there any drivers for ISDN and/or PCMCIA-Cards in Solaris10? Does anyone have any experiences with this issue?
Every hint would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Kindly Regard,
Holger

Hello.
There only very poor support for ISDN cards in Solaris. As far as I know only the on-board ISDN card of one of the SparcStation computers is supported (this card is available as S-Bus card for other SparcStation computers).
I think there is no support for any ISDN card that can be attached to an x86 computer.
I wrote a driver for USB based ISDN modems that are based on the Winbond 6694 chip myself due to this lack of ISDN support. I tested it under Solaris 9/Sparc.

Tecra 9100: After USB DVB-T installation no sound could be heard

I tried to install an USB DVB-T stick. After this no sound could be heard. When I did so on my PC, I could repair this by getting the sound card out and put it in again. Is there any option to do so with my Tecra 9100?
All sound drivers are reported as ok. The item "Geraetestatus" is reported as ok.
But the item "Geraeteverwendung" is not available = grey. (I don't know an english word for that).

Hi
No, on the notebooks you cannot remove the sound card physically
But you can try to remove (uninstall) the sound card from the device manager!!!
After new reboot the OS should recognize the card again and you could reinstall the new version (if available) of the sound driver!!
Try your luck ;)

Tecra 9100 - Loss of sound after Windows Update.

I have just got hold of a 9100 second hand, and have been re-installing XP Pro. I have been going well, and had all but the SD Card working after downloading all the relevant drivers off Toshiba's site.
Micorsofts update site decided to download new drivers for the Yamaha sound card, and now it says NO Device.
I re-installed the drivers from the toshiba site, but despite everything I do it still shows no device.
Ive tried re-installing the Synth software as well, but this says I need to run the synth re-installer. But there is no directory on the drive for anything Yamaha, and no entry in the add/remove window for yamaha synth or on the start menu.
I am at a loss where to go next, short of starting yet again, and re-installing from the OS up, and thats a good days work.
Does a clean up utility exist so I can just do the sound card part again?
Help Please. :-(

No sound? The only solution I've found is to get a USB headset like the Logitech USB Headset 20. I have had this same problem with my Tecra 9100 for almost 6 months. I tried on a pair of USB Headset and it works! because it bypasses your internal soundcard. The downside is that if you have a great pair of speakers on your laptop, then it's kind of a waste that you can never use it. But at least, with this, you can now listen to CDs and chat on the internet

Tecra 9100: The lid is broken and TFT is dead

I have a Toshiba Tecra 9100 512MB ram CD/DVD +ext DVD-+RW +ext 160GB HDD etc........, but also epilepsy.
I fell in a fit, and broke the lid.
The case is broken (lid only), and the TFT is dead.
Can you repair this? And if so; how much for what?
Please break it down.

Hi Robert,
You will need to get in touch with your nearest Authorised Service Partner to get a breakdown of the cost for repairing your notebook.
It is quite likely that you can claim the cost of the repair against your home contents insurance (I did this when my A30 fell on the floor and broke the optical drive).
Best wishes,

Jaguar OS Support for Wireless

I'm not very familiar with the various Apple OS's so be patient. Does a laptop with Jaguar OS have support for 802.11b/g WPA TKIP security.

Jaguar is 10.2
Panther is 10.3
Tiger is 10.4
None of these are free upgrades.
Depending on your Apple laptop, I would suggest going for Tiger.
