Arrested T42 wireless

T42, XP, Intel PRO Wireless 2200. Everything worked very well. PC locked up, I had to hold the power button for a while to close. Icon Wi - Fi and restarted showed no link (not yet gaining an address). Restarted several times with the same result. My T30 still connects fine so it's a matter of T42. No settings have changed. I've connected by cable, then disconnected result and wireless isn't always going. It's as if the adapter is not there. Right-click on the icon gives the option of usual remedy that never fails or let's me open network connections. It shows that the adapter works as it should. Ideas anyone?

Cancel. Seen the notice of another post which suggested uninstalling adapter and reinstall. It worked for me. Thank you!

  • T42 wireless connection problem

    I have a T42 and X 31, and I always have to connect through a router ZyXEL Wireless.  Recently, my T42 stopped connection and it says it has not found wireless networks, but the X 31 works very well.  I thought it was a problem with the internal wireless card or the driver, so I uninstalled the 11 A/B/G Wireless Lan MINI PCI Adapter II.  I found the driver online (at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-57216), and I downloaded the file (802_11abg_1004.exe, 'software Installation and configuration for the A/B/G Wireless Lan MINI PCI Adapter II 11').  However, he gets in the middle of the installation of the driver and then starts asking for .sys and .cab (like ar5211.sys and data2.cab) files.  I don't know how to go beyond these guests.  Any ideas?

    Thanks for your help,

    Look at the underside of your T42 - it should be a sticker describing your model and serial number.

    You can also visit the Lenovo Web http://www-304.ibm.com/systems/support/pc/ page and click for Lenovo.

  • T42 wireless not configured: seeing none, no icon in the status bar...

    Hello!  My T42 is running XP and the Wired internet connection works great, but I can't seem to find the correct drivers or something else so he can pick up wireless connections (and my Linksys router).  It is a portable alternative to my father's Office, I hope that the wireless is not "locked" in the generation of OS...

    Any help would be appreciated!

    HA - Thank you George, although he would explain.  Your help is appreciated miuch!

  • T42 wifi with linux...

    Hello

    am installing debian linux 5.0 on t42s.  usually I get them on ebay with the cards already installed wifi and it is no harm at all to lift the machine with debian. However I got recently a t42 without wifi card so I got a (by intel) from ebay and installed myself. I'm sure that it is physically installed OK because when I start to professional xp splash screen the little wifi icon lights. I didn't by installing xp well. that the wifi icon does not light before putting the new wifi adapter.

    I'm trying to set up this machine as an xp dual boot and debian. I usually install debian via net install. with my other t42s this process via the wifi was nice and it worked just to the right.

    However, when I try to do an installation of debian using the adapter wifi on this computer, the installer says that it cannot configure the dhcp using wifi (but it can if I plug it into the cable net ether).

    is there something else I should do to logicaly install wifi for the debian installer can recognise him? as the access ibm button for example use?

    or is there simply no linux for this wifi card driver intel? I think that there is a linux driver for any product to intel but I could be wrong. WFI with linux it's a little tricky.

    Maybe if I use ether net for installation I get the wifi linux driver later.

    If not, what is the oem for the t42 wireless adapter?

    Please notify.

    I have three total t42 units. two with model number 23734TU and the other (the troubled unit) with model number 2373-4TU. the difference is the dash between the numbers 3 and 4.

    Based on the information you provided I agree that the 2100 b card should work with the 4TU-2373.

    the only way I know how to test for sure everything flows through the configuration script in windows xp. I wanted to avoid this but I don't see any easy choice.

    I guess that if the wifi under the display icon lights up then the card is functional. Turns on the xp splash screen.

    otherwise I could download the latest debian installer and see if it gets the card to operate under a facility. net a debian-installer an integrety check maybe I'll try that.

    My big concern is that the card should work when operating by linux.

    I remember well the card could only be installed one way. Perhaps one of the two antenna broke while I was reassembling. I don't think, but I could open it and check. but I wanted to avoid this.

    SOLUTION! the solution is to use the map of cisco wireless.

  • IBM ThinkPad T42 would not connect to my home network secure wireless

    Configuration IP of Windows __An internal error has occurred: a device attached to the system is not functioning. __Please contact support services technical microsoft for more help.

    Others have had a similar problem, but I tried the solutions that have worked for them, without success.

    All of a sudden, my IBM ThinkPad T42 wouldn't connect to my home network (WPA2-PSK) secure wireless.  It would be either (1) stay in a constant state of "acquiring network address" or (2) do not recognize networks wireless in the range.  Sometimes, it would connect to a nearby unsecured network, but the network would still not appear in the list of available wireless networks.  So I tried to connect directly to the ethernet, which also did not work.  I then ran the ipconfig/all command at the command prompt and got the message:

    Windows IP configuration
    An internal error has occurred: a device attached to the system is not functioning.
    Contact support services technical microsoft for more help.
    Additional information: unknown media status code.

    So, I went to Microsoft Product Support Services, which does not seem to offer all the solutions.  I searched this error online and found several similar problems - some users had problems with viruses.  Some users had winsock2 corruption, and some recommended to reinstall the drivers for my network cards.  I'm computer literate, but not a computer Wizard, so I was able to follow their instructions for checking the winsock2 corruption (I think), and I think it's very good.  I did a complete scan of symantec, but who came with nothing.  I downloaded the drivers for my network cards which are: Wireless - 11 a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter, ethernet - connection of a Mobile Intel (r) PRO/1000 MT and was able to update my wireless driver, but not the driver ethernet.  The latter Assistant said we "could not find a better match for your hardware than the software currently installed".  I had wireless internet to work for a few hours last night, even if I still have the same error message when I run ipconfig/all.  I started my computer this morning, and the same problem again - constantly says "address of network acquisition" even if no wireless networks are appearing on the list.  Also, I tried the system restore to see if I could go back before the problem started, but after that I tried several dates, System Restore has still not successful - it wouldn't work again.

    So now, I have my computer in safe mode, and it is connected to the wireless internet, even if the ipconfig/all command still gives the same message, and I am running symantec again to see if I can find something!

    Please help me!  If you think that I may have missed something with the winsock2 or installing drivers, or if there is something I could not find on the internet, please let me know!  I'll try anything.

    Note: I have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.
    Network card drivers, I'm running are:
    Wireless: Date - 02/05/2007, Version 4.1.2.156, provider - Atheros
    Ethernet: Date - 24/10/2006, Version 8.7.9.0, provider - Intel

    Thank you!

    Update: when I disable the Intel PRO/1000 MT driver, I can run ipconfig/all with success.  Then imagine it's something to do with this adapter or the driver.  Any ideas?

    OK, so here is what I did to solve this problem.

    I've updated to the latest version of the IBM BIOS

    Then get the WLAN driver from the manufacturer, NOT IBM, NOT Windows Update. Depending on your card, it will be Cisco or Intel.

    I can not stress enough that updates to IBM and Windows update does not work and I lost a lot of time. However, once downloaded directly from the manufacturer (new version) worked flawlessly!

  • Intermittent wireless on T42

    I've been running my wireless for several years now on my Type T42 2378 RGU, when a few weeks ago I got the message of type 'no wireless networks detected. By the process of elimination, I have determined that the likely culprit was my wireless card, an Intel® PRO/Wireless 2915ABG network adapter. I got the FRU number (FRU 27K 9936) and ordered a replacement, which I installed 2 days ago. Started back to the top and still "found a wireless network. I turned off the computer and came back the next day. He works from a cold start, and worked the wireless! Hooray! But spoke to soon. Later in the afternoon, I went, and it was back to "no wireless found" while at the same time my T61 just sitting beside her worked very well on the wireless. the only thing I can guess is that there is a loose somewhere, fitting that I had turned my laptop upside down yesterday to replace the screw on the side of the touchpad of the computer. It was shortly after this time that the wireless doesn't work anymore. I left the laptop on it overnight, and today when I logged in, the wireless was working again!

    So I think I need to find the most likely for an intermittent connection. Any ideas? Where is the antenna located on the T42? Or anything else that could be causing this? I am running Windows XP Pro sp3.

    Thank you!

    A way of to detrmine for sure if it's a hardware or a software problem would be to boot from a Linux CD "live."

    If your wireless network is running Linux, there is a driver/software XP problem.

    If it isn't, we start to look at the hardware...

    My suggestion - because I know that it works out of the box on T4x machines:

  • T42 2373 wireless card

    I just took it and can not get on my network because of the security of wireless b card I tried to change the map with a bg wireless Intel and I get an error. Unautherized electric network card and remove it... There must be a way to upgrade this thing isn't there? I tried a second card intel and Broadcom card. I'll try a bios update if ever I can get it to load the driver page.

    Welcome to the forum!

    You need a card issued IBM with a certain number FRU, since wireless cards are on a white list in the BIOS and that's why your 'new' raise an error.

    If you exhaust your options, feel free to leave me a private message, I have a couple of sitting around, all Intel 2200BG cards out of ThinkPad T4x.

  • T42 - reformatting HD and wireless internet

    Hi all!

    I just be reformatted my hd and now I can't connect wirelessly to the internet.

    connect using cable, but works very well.

    model or s/n is 2374-wwd

    I searched many threads and tried downloading different drivers, but nothing!

    in the device, under "network card" Manager, "Intel (r) PRO/1000 MT Mobile Connection" is displayed, no yellow? sign.

    However, underneath, there is only a single yellow? brand and it's 'network controller '.

    I'm not too intuitive with computers, so if you can please throw as much detail as possible, you will greatly appreciate!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi 310ibm,

    The Intel PRO/1000 card is your ethernet controller (that's why linking them with works by cable). I don't know why it is called "mobile connection". I guess because it's in a laptop :-) More seriously, it's probably a power controller ethernet Intel desktop-optimized version.

    In any case... yellow? Note on the wave 'network controller' is most likely your wireless network. Did you install this driver?

    I guess that you have pressed Fn + F5 to turn on the wireless radio...

  • T42 cannot install drivers Intel PROset for wireless 2915ABG card

    I have upgraded to the adapter a 2100ab to a 2915abg wireless, but have had accidents every time I install the Intel PROset software drivers v11.05.0 (7kwc50ww.exe). I can't use the card because of problems with S24EvMon during the installation of the drivers and associated software. After the attempts, each reboot is greeted with S24EvMon errors 0xc0000409 at the address 0x00454aa0. I have the good hotkey drivers installed (7avu43ww.exe) and (7zku02ww.exe) power management.

  • HP Envy M4 1115dx: Qualcomm QCA Atheros Driver Installation error | Device not found wireless adapter

    I just replaced my old HD with a new SSHD Seagate. Everything is going well until I tried to connect to internet in wifi wireless mode with. I think it was a pilot error because I just do a blank Windows 8 install on my new SSHD (hybrid drive SSD). So I went to find the Driver for the WLAN Module.

    HP is automatically detected my laptop model number and gave me a list of drivers. I selected "Qualcomm Atheros QCA90000 series Wireless LAN Driver for Microsoft Windows" under the list of Driver Network in the menu dropdown.

    In the middle of the installation of this driver, I was arrested and met a titled error message, "802.11a/b/g/n Wireless adapter device not found". Just below this title was a big red circle with a white X sign. Besides, he said: "the device may not be present or could have been ejected unplugged from the system. Abortieng the installation, please insert the card and try again the Setup program. »

    Below is a screenshot of what I mean.

    Problem solved. I uninstalled all the drivers but the Ralink. Think I know what may have caused this.

    The recommended for WLAN driver was based on a misinterpretation on behalf of HP. HP auto detected my laptop as a 1150la instead of the 1115dx model.

    I'm not sure why HP thinks that my model is another, but it may have something to do with the SSHD and thermal fan replacement I did before this error WiFi.
