Impossible to activate my wireless network card in Windows 7 Home Basic 32-bit

I have a Dell Inspiron 10 netbook with a wireless adapter, but are unable to activate.  When I go on "Change adapter settings" and click on enable, it passes through the clearance process and says "Enabled", but when the "Activé" message disappears, the adapter says still "Disabled", and I can't access my network.  I have other computers connected to the wireless network, so I know that the router/network is OK.  I checked the services and autoconfiguration WLAN service is set to automatic and is started.  I also did the TCP/IP stack reset twice.

What can I do to fix this?

Hi reda,.

Thank you for your kind response.  Unfortunately, I had already tried all these things before making my post above, but would not allow the adapter.  I have also installed and tried that failed on another computer, with the same results; could not enable.  As a corollary, that I plugged a different usb (type dongle) wireless adapter I have on another computer, and it worked perfectly, so I came to the conclusion that the card is defective, has contacted the seller (Newegg) and got a RMA number.  Then, I ordered another mini adapter of the same brand as that worked.

    Hello everyone,

    I have a problem really frustrating with my WI - FI, the thing is that since this morning, my PC can't recognize his wireless network card and it isn't same state that there is a problem with her or anything, it's just like it never existed in the first place! Also the wireless light is still disabled, even if the switch is turned on, it all started this morning, my PC was in mode 'sleep', I lift the screen and the screen goes black with a loud beep and it restarts automatically, so no WI - FI more!

    Hi Tim,.

    So if the WLAN card is not listed in Device Manager, what happens if you start installing the driver? You can download the WLAN driver from Toshiba's official website:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But you have to look in * Archives * because he former model laptop s but you will be Agere WLAN driver 1.11.108 for XP. In addition, download & install Wireless LAN Activator to activate the wireless network card.

    Check this box!

  • Wireless network card cannot be turned on

    I have a Gateway t-6330u that I recently had to reformat the hard drive and when Vista was reinstalled the driver for the wireless network adapter was missing. I downloaded the correct driver for it, but now Windows fails to activate the wireless network card. The hardware switch is turned on, but in the windows Mobility Center, it won't let me turn on the wireless network card. I tried to repair it with the windows network diagnostics, but it is also unable to turn on wireless networks. Then he told me he tried a repair but the problem persists. After trying a few times he gives up and tells me to contact my network administrator. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi adht450,

    This problem can occur because of an older version of the driver that you need to update.

    Click Start> type in Device Manager in the start search > expand NICs in Device Manager > right click of network card > click Properties> click on Driver tab > click on update drivers> click OK.

    You can view the following link to update the drivers:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    You may need to look into the security WPA and WPA2 keys, you will probably need to change this.

  • Impossible to activate my Vista wireless network card

    I replaced a broken network PCI adapt with a Belkin USB wireless adapter.  I installed everything, restarted, and now my computer can't find any networks.  I open network connections and tried to repair.  When I 'Reset the wireless network adapter' it indicates a problem still exists. As it is said 'Belkin 54 g Wireless USB Network Adapter' knows driver or hardware related issues.  I've already updated the driver for the latest driver.  When I go into network connections and right click on the connection for Belkin 54 g wireless, I try to activate with no luck.  I also try to activate Device Manager with no luck.

    I came to the conclusion there is that some conflicts causing the wireless network adapter to not 'activate' or activate.  What is the problem?

    Hello Brent in Texas.

    O what is the status of the wireless network adapter in Device Manager, you see yellow exclamations or the fringe?

    The error code indicates that the drivers are not installed for your wireless network card.

    You should try to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your network card wireless instead of updating the drivers. Make sure that you remove the previous version of the driver and install the latest version.

    1. click on start. In the start search box type "devmgmt.msc", and then press ENTER.
    2. expand "network adapters, double-click the entry for the wireless network device.
    3. click on the "Driver" tab, click "Uninstall".
    4. click on start. In the start search box type "appwiz.cpl", and then press ENTER.
    5 remove the entries related to the wireless network adapter.

    Reinstall the driver with your driver CD. After installation, create the connection.

    Alternatively, you can try to uninstall the driver from Device Manager, then go to the computer or the device factory site download the latest driver for your network card and install it.

    You can read the article that will give you all the steps to troubleshoot network connectivity issues:

    Here is the link to the wireless card driver you need.

  • Satellite Pro A40 fell on the wireless network card; Damaged PCMCIA slot

    This morning my Satellite Pro A40 (Celeron 2.6) fell 40 cm. He fell right on the wireless network card that has been inserted. This card is still alive and so is the rest of the laptop, but the PCMCIA location is little damaged. I can insert PC cards almost completely, just the last piece (when the pins are) wrong.

    I removed the cover near the CPU, and there, I could see the inside PCMCIA slot; I could see the main part and the last part where the pins are. That little part as is pushed upward, as you can see in the pictures.

    I think I'd be able to fix myself this PCMCIA slot, but I can't remove it. I removed all the screws on the rear plate, but he is still blocked.

    Pics:

    PCMCIA slot

    The PCMCIA location; on the left, you will see the part with the pins, which is pushed upward. It's also what I see when I look at the pins in the PCMCIA slot. as they are pushed down, but I don't think they are folded.

    Wireless network card

    Wireless network card; It is a little damaged but it still works.

    Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the back plate, or another way to remove the PCMCIA slot and fix it?

    Hi Steve

    Well, I can give t well you not answer how you can just remove the PCMCIA slot.
    There are a lot of screws and to my knowledge, it is necessary to remove all covers and screws that are placed at the bottom of the unit and inside under the keyboard.
    Please check this specific device. Perhaps you have overlooked a few screws.

    But if it is impossible to remove the PCMCIA slot of the unit, I recommend to ask the service partner for a detailed instruction.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro L10 - wireless network cards are compatible?

    I have now managed to dual boot my older Toshiba L10 with XP and Windows 7.

    The existing wireless LAN card is not compatible with the Windows 7 partition and I use an external usb wireless.

    Does anyone have recommendations on an internal wireless card I can buy which can replace the existing one and is both compatible with XP and Windows 7 32-bit? Is it easy to replace one card with another?

    Hello

    Hardware upgrade on mobile machinery is very limited and most of the information you can get on an upgrade supported for RAM or HARD drive. Upgrade for all other hardware is not supported, so actually there is no info on the hardware compatibility.

    Nobody here can offer you a list with 100% compatible cards WLAN.
    What WLAN card is inside your old L10?

    I just finished reinstalling a new windows 7 64 bit on my laptop of uncles engaged. I reinstall the drivers and the only one missing is wireless network card driver. I run the scan on the HP site and it came not with all the drivers for the wireless adapter. It does not show that I have more drivers that need to be installed or updated. But still the wireless adapter does not work. I can't find the driver anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. It is a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop.

  • Satellite P10 - 221: "absent wireless network card."

    Hello world

    I had this problem: the wi - fi network card is not present in the list of hardware, the installation of the driver (both Toshiba tools and Utilities CD and downloaded drivers) still fails. In the case of Toshiba CD it says "DON'T NOT updated the driver, Installation failed", while in the case of the downloaded drivers, nothing happens when I choose "Install" from the context menu (click on right .inf). The problem is: the wi - fi card is completely absent, the operating system does not, it does not matter where.

    Someone at - it had the same problem or knows the solution?

    Thanks in advance,

    WILLER

    Hello

    are you sure that you really have a wireless network card installed? Not all machines don't.
    Check the code under the machine. It is printed on a silver label and looks like this:
    PIII1000/256/20/14XT/D/LM/W

    This one is a 1 GHz Pentium 3 machine. Read your code and put it here and we can tell if it has a built in network RLR.

  • ProBook 4520 s - exchange of the wireless network card

    Hello everyone.

    I think the exchange of the wireless network card in my Probook 4520 s, due to the low flow.
    So I searched for a while a 5 Ghz supporting the card and found out that I am only able to get in the "white" cards list working. Then I looked at this page:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?lang=en & CC = US & objectid = c02487851 & jumpi...

    These cards can be any, that have been used in 4520 s. Mine (according to the Device Manager) is the Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n. This thing only supports 2.4 Ghz. Now, I looked at the list for a 5 Ghz supporting the card. I think that the 802.11A/B/G/N WLAN Intel HMC 572520-001 minicards can operate on 5 Ghz, because I read, that A appears only with maps of 2.4/5 Ghz. I read too, that maps of 2.4 / 5 GHz have 3 antennas, but on this card I only the slots for 2. Is this good? And this card would go into my 4520 s?

    Greetings,

    Colony

    Hi, colony:

    You are right about your statement about the cards being described as A/B/G/N dual-band.

    The best thing to do is look at Chapter 3 of your service manual.

    You can only order one of the cards listed as supported and it MUST have the HP reference on it or it won't work.

    I see only two possibilities for you...

    The 6200 Intel and Broadcom 4322.  Make sure you also get the part # that corresponds to what country you live.

    If your current Broadcom card has integrated Bluetooth, you will lose your Bluetooth capability if you order an integrated HP bluetooth module and probably the cable too.

    None of the dual-band cards have embedded bluetooth.

    Link to the service manual.

    http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c02439213/c02439213.PDF

    Then, you can order a card on the link below.

    If you do not live in the United States, you can change your country at the top of the page to yours.

    Anyone who knows what other types could be used?

    Hello

    Hmm, well I've never heard of Gigabyte WLAN cards and I don't know laptops that are equipped with these cards.

    I checked Toshiba Web site and some Satellite A30 models shipped with a card Atheros and Intel WLAN. So, I recommend buying a those manufactures wireless network card.
    For example Wireless LAN Mini PCI card (2, 4 GHz, 802 11 b) PA3212U-3MPC should be compatible.
