Satellite L20-196 - updates to the Atheros WLAN driver

As may relative novice, I ask why Toshiba have updated the version of the driver (Windows XP) wireless lan Atheros three times in the last two months? The last update 25/05/11. It would not be because it's still a beta version and it would be better to wait for a final version?

Thank you.

Hello

Only the Toshiba himself knows why they have updated the driver. Here it s only a user to user forum so I doubt someone can answer your question because only this is no people of Toshiba.

But why is it so important? If you n t have any problems you can forget the driver updates. This is only necessary if something doesn't work properly.
Theoretically the new drivers don t contains bug fixes and supports Atheros WLAN cards. Who knows?

  • Satellite S50D - A - 10 G - accidentally uninstalled Atheros WLAN driver

    Hey,.

    So, be a fool, I accidentally uninstalled the Atheros driver, and then I noticed that my laptop is therefore more able to detect my WiFi at home. After looking around, online, apparently it's because I uninstalled Atheros? (Sorry, I'm a noob to computer).

    So I try to download the driver for my laptop, but I can't seem to find where to download the driver. My laptop is the Satellite S50D - A - 10 G, and I do not know where to look. I tried to look on the Toshiba.com site, and they said that my serial number was invalid etc..

    Advice and assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    Sorry, I have very little idea of what I'm doing!

    I ve checked the Toshiba download page and found the Atheros WLAN driver.
    You can download it if you visit http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Please choose your Satellite S50D-A, with the PSKKWE part number and you will find it.

    If there is still some problem let us know.

  • Wanting to upgrade the CPU in the satellite L20 196

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum but have owned this laptop new a moment right now. As time has passed I noticed he has aged rapidly in recent months and needs a boost of speed.
    I upgraded the RAM, a matching pair to 1 GB (896 MB showing, guess that's graphic shared?), but still not quite quickly enough.

    My question is, can I upgrade the processor to a Pentium M or at least a faster Celeron?
    If Yes, then what is the best possible processor that will be compatible? Autour Googling, I see I'm not alone on this idea, but all the info and comments where other L20 and not my model 196 in question.
    Do I have reason to believe that the limits are 400 Mhz FSB, 1.5 GHz and 478 pins for this laptop?
    Finally, I replaced and rebuilt a lot of PC in the past. A laptop (my L20) is much more difficult to remove and replace a CPU?

    Thank you and look forward to any comments thereon.

    In General, the CPU upgrade is not supported. More info on what you can read under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    To be clear. Your Satellite L20 is really not the best laptop and on the scale of 1 to 5 when 5 of the best, I give your laptop 2. This laptop is designed for day-to-day activities like Office, internet, watching movies, listening to music and writing emails. So I think that with the preinstalled operating system and well set to own and 1 GB of RAM, it must have enough power for this.

    I don't know what you want to do with this good old classic, but if you need laptop with more power for games or multimedia activities, I think it's time for the new laptop computer.

    Please don't be crazy on me because I did not offer exact answer, but I just want to be realistic and honest with you.

  • Satellite A200-1N2: I should udpate Intel Wlan driver through update of Vista?

    Hello

    I have two questions pls...

    1. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200-1N2 core 2 Duo

    There is a * (optional) * updated by Windows Vista to...
    * Update driver Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network connection *.

    I would like to know if it's a good idea to go for the update of this window gave or not?

    2. I've heard that it has deepened the Start button > all programs > Toshiba > a place where I can go and it could me check for all needed updates for the drivers of Toshiba and all necessary updates...

    Pls any idea where to do it?

    Thank you

    Hello

    This update seems to be linked to the Intel WLan driver.
    I think it s not necessary to update the Intel WLan driver through update of Windows Vista.
    If you want to update the WLan driver then visit the page of the Toshiba Wlan driver or the Intel page.

    With regard to the second question.
    You can visit the European driver Toshiba page and there you can check what newer drivers have been released.

    There is also a tool called Toshiba [Tempro | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/TEMPO_RELEASE/] that keep you abreast of software updates and the latest Toshiba driver as soon as they are released

    This utility must be installed first, and in my opinion, it should be responsible for the SM bus controller.
    You should also check the installation instructions on the download area.

  • The Atheros WLAN card works intermittently under Win Vista on Satellite L40

  • Satellite L20-182: after installing the OS only USB 1.1 not 2.0

    Hello, I am an owner of the model Toshiba Satellite L20-182.
    Recently I did a format disk and installed Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2.

    Unfortunately, the system detects USB as a version 1.1.
    I find anywhere USB 2.0 drivers.

    Could you help me?

    Hello

    Why suggest that you have only the USB 1.1 and USB 2.0?

    To my knowledge you will not find any special USB Toshiba drivers Toshiba page.
    Each unit of Toshiba uses the current Microsoft Windows USB drivers and it s not necessary to install the special USB drivers.

    I assume that you have installed the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft and not the Toshiba back CD. Am I wrong?
    In this case you must install all Toshiba drivers that are available in the right order. The chipset utility is very important! Generally, the chipset must be installed at the first stage.

    Please also check this Microsoft documents:

    Availability of the updated Windows XP SP1 USB 1.1 and 2.0
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=822603

    When you install Windows XP Service Pack 2, the USB 2.0 drivers do not appear to be updated

  • Satellite R830-143 - update of the BIOS does not support this operating system

    Hello

    I received a notification via Tempro that he did not have a BIOS upgrade. I downloaded the ZIP file (bios - 20120209125153.zip), extract the package (BIOS360_EC140_WIN.exe) and ran it according to the instructions.

    The package runs, give the progress bar "extract files...". ", then displays a dialogue entitled"TOSHIBA BIOS package Ver.4.1.2"that says:"this package BIOS does not support this operating system."

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit on a Satellite 830R-143 with the short part No. PT32LE

    Does anyone know what is the problem?

    Thanks in advance for your help...

    Hello

    You have problems with the laptop?
    If not then why you want to do the BIOS? Just because the new BIOS is released?
    I would not change anything if my laptop is running correctly.

    However, the update of the BIOS requires the VAP (value added package).
    So remember that this PPV is installed correctly. If this isn't the case, so far.

  • Satellite A110-180 - update of the Bios for Windows 7 and Linux

    Hello

    I want to change the following settings in my bios on my laptop satellite A110-180
    * AHCI for SATA
    Disable the IDE

    But none of these options.
    So I thought that maybe I should update my bios.
    I found the download page, but there are 2 options: Windows Vista or NO vista, but I want to dual boot windows 7 and linux.

    Which one should I download, or is there another option to change the settings?

    Thank you!
    Bart

    Hello

    Satellite A110 does not support these options (SATA AHCI).
    The update of the BIOS will not help you!

    Linux is not supported and therefore, you will not find any special BIOS for Linux OS!

    The two BIOS updates are for Win Vista or OS independent.
    Therefore, if you use other than Vista OS then you should throw the update of the independent BIOS to the BONE!

    But as mentioned above; both options will not appear after the BIOS update!
