Satellite Pro L630-12: the Ethernet controller v v. WLAN network card

Basic questions:
My Satellite Pro L630-12F has (A) an Atheros AR8151 PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet Controller, and (B) Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter.
Toshiba continues regularly informing me that a Wireless Lan Driver update was released, which I need to install.

First question: is Wireless LAN Ethernet controller driver or the network card?

I have check the versions on my machine of both (A) and (B) with the PC diagnostic tool and find that (B) is the latest version (5.60.48.35) and (A) is a very old version (1.0.0.26). I download the latest version (9.2.0.316.0) of "Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter" for my machine from the Wireless LAN Driver download page (Windows 7 (64)) and run the file. But, everywhere I look, my machine continues to say that the version of (A) is (1.0.0.26).

Second question: am I update the Ethernet Atheros controller when I download and run the Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter?
If Yes, then why doesn't it show the latest version information?

Sorry for the basic questions, but I found no explanations in various forums on the difference between 'ethernet controller', 'network card' and 'Wireless LAN' after searching several times. I'm afraid that Toshiba keeps informing me that I don't have the latest version of the wireless LAN driver despite my efforts to follow their instructions.

> First question: is Wireless LAN Ethernet controller driver or the network card?

Ethernet controller can be both; WLan and LAN in your case I guess that WLan is Ethernet controller, it would seem if the WLan driver is not installed

Your laptop L630-12F seems to bear card Broadcom BCM94313 WLan and the driver can be found here:

This is driver LAN!

    Hello

    I think the problem is the Trojan horse you had. It was probably something has changed on the access to the files/folders. If you can t remove the Trojan with Antivirus software, you must reinstall the whole operating system. Therefore, you can use the recovery disk as described here:

    Who makes no difference, how is the laptop. This viral infection can happen after a few days and it s depending on your antivirus software you use, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the brand of laptop.

    Have you noticed the problem even if the laptop is not connected to the network and if you want to load your user profile on Windows 7?

    If this isn't the case, then I guess that it has something to do with the network, and in this case, I recommend asking the network administrator for a few suggestions.

  • Satellite A105-s4064: where to find the Ethernet controller (LAN) driver?

    Hello, I was recently forced to reformat my Satellite A105-s4064 due to some virus problems, and now when I look at my device manager my Ethernet controller is not installed.

    I checked the main site and they don't have an Ethernet controller I've ever seen.
    I can just be giving on it or research in the field of evil, but anyone know where I could find the Ethernet Controller driver for my laptop?

    Thank you
    Chris

    First of all, it would be interesting to know which driver LAN do you need? XP or Vista

    Second, the A105 laptop is an American series. I know that because of the last digit in the model number. 5 at the end means that it is a series that was designed for the American market and you need to find the drivers on the Web from Toshiba site we!

    However, if I understand correctly, you have already activated the Device Manager and the network card is not in the network adapters. There is an unknown device. Am I wrong?

    Often the LAN chip must come from Realtek. Then maybe you should try to download the driver directly from the Realtek page.

  • Problems with the Ethernet controller and PCI Satellite L30-10 X device driver

    HelloW!

    Sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Russia.
    A few days ago, I bought Satellite L30 - 10 X with W Vista on board. In my opinion, that this OS does ' t very good on this computer, so I install W XP.

    I have some problems with drivers. At first, I don't know which model I have: PSL30 or PSL33? I have download all the drivers for the two models. But after installation, computer doen't find the drivers for the Ethernet controller and PCI device...

    Hello

    Satellite L30-10 X belongs to the series of PSL33E. This number located on the label on the bottom of the device!

    You must choose this number in the form of driver download for XP compatible drivers.
    I put t know why you are not able to install the LAN driver. I have the same laptop with Vista and I've install the XP and all the drivers will work perfectly.

    I assume that you have installed the drivers in the wrong order. Please take look in the Toshiba installation instructions txt file. In this order, install the driver! This is important.

    I think that you should install XP again to ensure that the registry clean, then download and install the XP drivers compatible as mentioned in the installation instructions file.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro L630 connect to TV Toshiba

    I'm trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The specifications are:

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite Pro L630 - 134.
    TV: Toshiba Regza CT-42RL853.

    I am trying to achieve connectivity via HDMI. Once I have connected the TV to the laptop, I try to switch the display. However, the laptop does not see the TV (made to each function F5 or via Control Panel). The other view is not be found even when I select detect.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Things I've tried:
    Looked in the BIOS but no parameters to allow another external screen.
    Tried to look in the settings of the TV to see if there are access port to allow/disallow settings but nothing appears.
    Shot to the top of Toshiba Media Controller on laptop. He seems to see the tv (screen name on the right side). However no image displayed on the tv.

    Someone else has solved this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Sean

    Hello Sean

    To be honest after reading your ad, I can't say with certainty what can be the problem. The fact is that, in most cases, it takes work and if there is not a small problem.

    In the past, I have connected several laptops from Toshiba on my BRAVIA LCD TV and everything went well every time. On television, you must enable HDMI port you use. If you have more HDMI ports do not forget the right turned to television.

    On the other hand, if your TV is recognized by your laptop when you press FN + F5, you should see several options there. You see it or just one option (LCD)?
    Are you using the original pre-installed OS that you got with your laptop (original drivers)?
    Have you tried using different HDMI cables?

  • Satellite M55 - PCI modem and Ethernet controller continue missing

    Hi all

    I got this Satellite M55 quite a few years and until now it works really not too bad for me apart from a few minor errors here and there...
    Just recently, I sometimes have some hard to connect to wireless internet.
    It could always be connected only after hitting plugged in at least 2 or 3 times, and the connection is not persistent in time.
    When I look on the computer management, it seems the Ethernet controller and PCI Modem are missing. I tried to search and re - install drivers associated with wireless local area network and so forth, but stops the error.
    This advice would be really appreciated!
    Thank you in advance.

    Configuration:
    Satellite M55 S325
    Window XP Pro
    Intel PROSet / Wireless

    Hello!

    Where is - it has you fact check for drivers? Normally, you will get all the drivers on the Toshiba site:

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com-online download-online portable => Satellite-online M55-S325

    I searched this site and I founded all the drivers.

  • Satellite Pro L630-12F constantly read hard drive

    My laptop 2 months old, satellite pro L630-12F, running windows 7, just started to constantly read the hard drive in windows. The light is still on. When I try to do something, it takes forever-. for example, click on the start menu. Wait a minute, while the cirlce thing appears and the start menu.

    If I do too much hard drive starts to make a ticking noise and possibly a BSOD appears and it restarts.

    If I try to stop or restart it takes forever to do.

    When I go into safe mode, it just does the same thing.

    Any suggestions as to what is happening and how I can fix this problem?

    Hello
    At first I thought that the constantly HARD drive activity can be because of preinstalled McAffe and HDD scan but this info on ticking noise and possibly a BSOD is really strange and I'm afraid that there must be another reason m.

    Have you noticed this behavior from the first day or later?
    It will be interesting to know if the same behavior is with its own OS preinstalled. Can you install new OS by using recovery image and test it with the factory settings?

    In the worst case I mean that the HARD disk must be exchanged.

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) - Driver for Ethernet controller

    Hello

    I just reinstalled Vista (my records of repair so so borrowed a Vista DVD of lost friends). I have installled the LAN driver (here) and can connect to the internet fine (via cable in any case, as I have no wireless).

    Anyway when I go into Device Manager, that the only problem seems to be that there are no installed driver for the ethernet controller, there is no information about drivers when I look in its properties and do not really know what I have to download. If it's something to do with the wireless, I looked at article in the knowledge base on how to determine which type you have and as I said, I can't find any info.
    It is not a problem as such, but I want to just correct if possible.

    Thanks fo all help.
    Jim.

    Hi, Jim!

    I think he should install the WLAN driver for the laptop. I mean if you can browse the internet via an Ethernet cable, network adapter driver is installed and you are now the WLAN driver.

    Then go to the Toshiba page and download the driver for your Satellite L300. The WLAN driver installation can be done in a few minutes, it's really easy.
