SP1 RC rest + mobile pro/wireless 3945 problems

Yesterday, I reinstalled VISTA and apply the SP1 RC Refresh on my SS SX17a which uses the Mobile Intel (r) 945 GM Express Chipset.

The reinstallation of VISTA Business edition (6.0.6000) caught around 50, it took almost 3 hours to bring in SP1 RC Refresh via autoupdate on a 10mega ADSL link... I started with 41.6 GB of free space and endedup with 39. Lets hope the final SP1 has a possibility not to save the changes for those who ask the SP1 for a new installation.

No error was reported, but the machine crashes whenever I have turn off the wireless LAN using either the Toshiba soft-switch or the material on the laptop. The laptop has Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG chip and came up with the Intel v.10.6.0.29 driver installed. I tried to install the latest driver from v.11.5.0.32 of Intel and demotion to the v.11.1.1.20 of the MS driver as of 21/06/2006, but the problem persists. v.10.6.0.29 works since April without problem.

WLAN is not configured and therefore no IP address is passed through the router and the PC can't see the WAN, but VISTA the adapter needs to be on, if not, that it is qu' il se bloque blocks... fall time varies, sometimes it fails when connecting, others a few minutes after (a few times, it crashed when I accessed a SD card via a built-in player.

The crash isn't a total freeze, blue screen, no messages, nothing... Finally the laptop fan made in power until a max and I have to power down. The facility is clean, nothing else was installed as SP1 RC...

When I disable the driver in Device Manager, the machine freezes almost immediately, but when I restart the I need WIFI works without problem and the machine not crushed (so far anyway...)

Has anyone else noticed a problem with the 3945ABG chip? It's as if VISTA does not treat it as a plug n play... or the current drivers work well with the new SP1 USB drivers to level v. 6.0.6001.17128?

And Yes, this is the pre-release software, but it is very close to release...

To be clear on your questions: SP1 is just the beta version and it is not in official use. When the SP1 will be in official use that Toshiba will use it on recovery image. All problems must be fixed, probably using new and suitable drivers.

At present, it is not easy talking about this because there is no official solution.

  • Intel PRO/wireless 3945 users - Vista and SP1

    Hello

    is anyone having problems with the Intel PRO/wireless 3945 on VISTA? It worked fine with the embedded version of VISTA RTM but that Microsoft has published patches and updates, my machine became unstable.

    Symptoms are accidents when entering the mode "Eve" (the screen goes black, HD does not stop and finally dreams of fan up to max Fourny..) and the system freezes when the wireless LAN is disabled with the switch HW or FlashCards.

    The problem is very acute with VISTA SP1, and I had to disable the driver. I'm sure that this driver is the issue that I reinstalled VISTA using recovery before you apply the latest service pack 1 (RC Refresh) last week.

    If you use this chip Vista wireless problem, please post your experience and advice if you have auto update in MS patches, especially the KB related to the performance of materials (KB941649 and USB KB941600 etc.)

    Hello

    It is an Intel WLan card. So try to use the Intel WLan driver on Intel page.
    From time to time Intel provides new updates of pilot and mainly the WiFi problems should be solved after an update of the WLan driver.

  • Satellite A200 - Intel Pro Wireless 3945 fall

    Hello
    I have a problem with my laptop Satellite A200 (with Vista Home Premium 32 bit) where the Intel Pro Wireless connection keeps itself turning off after several minutes or several hours of use.

    In network connections, the wireless connection is shown as people with reduced mobility. When I try to enable it, it will say something like "Enable already ongoing attempt". And he's never coming back. However, wireless orange light is always on the cell phone all the time. The only way to reactivate the wireless connection, is to restart the system.

    I know this is a very common problem, I see the same problem among other threads on this forum.

    After a short search on Google, and I see that many other people have the same problem too, particularly with Dell laptops. Forum sites there 2 in particular, that have the most information on this topic, I found:

    http://www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic4198-45-1.aspx
    http://thevistaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=9834

    These are the things that I tried to resolve this problem:
    (I got all the drivers from the site http://www.toshiba.co.nz, that I got this laptop from NZ and the specific laptop model number is PSAFCA A200)

    -Updated the BIOS with the latest version.
    In fact, I think that updated the BIOS could be the cause of this problem wireless, or in part. Because a few months back, the laptop kept cutting itself no reason apparent, perhaps once or twice a week. So I've updated the BIOS, which actually fixed the random stops, but since then, I've known this wireless problem. Coincidence maybe.

    -Upgrade to the latest driver for the wireless network.
    I tried a various number of drivers. Later off the coast of http://www.toshiba.co.nz, http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/, http://www.intel.com. None of them have worked.
    For the moment, I use the older driver comes preinstalled with Vista.
    Intel Pro wireless 3945ABG (Microsoft) was sometimes since 2006. And surprisingly, this one works best. Drop-outs are not as frequent as more recent drivers, but the problem still happens.
    With this new drivers (dated from 2007), I find that it turns off several times a day. Once or twice an hour.
    With the former, once every two hours.
    That's what I feel, it is probably coincidence.

    -Update of Windows Vista with service pack 1.

    -Updated the firmware on my router. It is a DLink G604T. However, I doubt that it is one router problem, my other laptop running fine without any abandonment wireless.

    -Power WLAN disabled economic option.
    Under power settings, select the setting of maximum performance.

    -Set lowest roaming aggressiveness, even tried with highest.

    -On the "Power Management" tab in the properties for Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG Network connection, tried to activate and deactivate the option "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

    -Done a full virus/spyware scan.

    -Uninstalled the software Toshiba Wireless Zero Configuration.

    I think I've tried just about everything that I can, so I'm here pretty much as a last resort.
    I hope someone can help me solve this problem.
    It was so annoying since many months now! It's not fun to have to restart the laptop all the time.

    Thank you.

    I see that you have tired most of the things that I would say too
    You said that WLan works better using the old driver Wlan MS if it s really a WLan driver problem

    But what said
    I searched a bit in the MS knowledge base and found this article:
    + Several problems occur on a Windows Vista-based computer when you work in a wireless network environment.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; 932063

    Check it out.

    But a friend of mine had a similar problem of Wlan and nothing helped, he did a update BIOS, set the Wlan driver, etc.. nothing!

    Finlay, he changed WiFi channels.
    He chose the other channel on the router and wireless network and since then the Wlan card works well...

    Maybe it s worth a try!

  • WRT54GS - wireless performance problem

    Dear someone

    I am currently having performance problems with my WRT54GSv1.1

    Just received my new internet connection to 30Mbit. Unfortunately, I am not able to download at that speed. If I connect via one of the linksys router's ethernet ports, I'm a happy person, but using the wireless makes me a little less happy.

    Wireless: 15Mbit/s

    Through the cable: 27Mbit/s

    Network information:

    The distance between the router and the computer laptop 3-4 meters

    Linksys WRT54GSv1.1 - Firmware Version: v4.71.4

    Network wireless - g only mode

    TV - 6 (because all the surrounding neighbor use 10-11, I noticed using Cain Abel & wireless discovered 4.9.29)

    Security: WPA2-Personal (TKIP + AES)

    All other settings are default (just reset to the factory settings).

    Laptop:

    Windows Vista Business SP1 32-bit

    Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (installed the latest drivers from the website of intel, default settings)

    When you check the diagnostic of Intel tools, it tells me the link is 54 megabits and pushes meter packages of 54 megabits, while all lower speeds remain the same.

    More diagnostic information:

    Percent missed beacons: 0

    Percent transmit errors: 18

    Current Tx power: ~ 32 mW (100%)

    Supported power levels: 1.0 mW - 32.0 mW.

    Hope someone can help me here.

    Thanks in advance!

    Kind regards

    Although wireless g "connects" to 54 Mbit/s, the maximum possible wireless "data rate" (in ideal laboratory conditions) is only about 20 to 25 Mbit/s.  Unfortunately, the phrase "in ideal laboratory conditions" generally excludes home intrusion!

    The aerial transmission for wireless connections is higher than for wired connections.   Thus, most individuals find that their Wi - Fi connection works at 50% to 70% of their speed of wired (LAN).  Your wired LAN being 27 Mbps connection speed, your 15 Mbps wireless speed is within normal limits.

    You might be able to tweak a bit more speed from your wireless network by optimizing all your wireless settings.  Here are a few suggestions:

    I guess you want actually to WPA2 encryption.  If so, set to AES only.   When you set the router to TKIP and AES, you actually tell the router to accept a WPA or WPA2 connection.

    Also, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you use "linksys", you can try to connect the router to your neighbor. Also set 'SSID Broadcast' to 'active '. This will help your computer to find and lock on the signal from your router.

    Bad wireless connections are often caused by interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes cordless phones, baby monitor wireless, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers and wireless network from your neighbor. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5 + GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. disconnect these devices and see if that solves your problem.

    In your router, try another channel. There are 11 channels in the band of 2.4 GHz channel 1, 6 or 11 generally works better. Discover your neighbors and see what channel they use. Because the channels overlap, try to stay at least + 5 or - 5 channels of your more powerful neighbors. For example, if you have a powerful neighbour on channel 9, try any channel 1 to 4.

    Also, try putting the router about 4 to 6 feet above the ground in an open area. Do not place behind your screen or other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna must be vertical.

    In addition, in the computer, go to your wireless software and go to 'Favorite networks' (sometimes called 'Profiles'). There are probably a few listed networks. Remove any network called "linksys". Also remove any network that you don't recognize or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its information (SSID, encryption (if any) and key (if any)). Select your current network and make your network by default, then set it to auto login. You may need to go to 'settings' to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select 'Properties' or 'settings '.

    If you continue to have problems, try the following:

    For wireless g routers, try setting the "baud rate" at 54 Mbps.

    If you still have problems, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After an update of the firmware, you must reset the default router, and then configure the router again from scratch. If you have saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite A100-784 - Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG off randomly

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100-784 with Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG wireless adapter.
    Today I was working with my friend on some project connected on his wifi sharing internet connection on Toshiba Satellite A100-510.
    After a while I lose the internet connection and I see that this blue icon is no longer in the test system.

    I try to use Toshiba ConfigFree but it was impossible to open, so I try to open the network connection of the control panel and after a period of time the network connection has been accessible and I saw that this network adapter is disabled. I try to activate three times but nothing.

    After rebooting, everything was ok and wireless adapter is turned on and ready to use for the next 10 or 15 minutes.
    First disable comes after two hours. I use Windows XP SP 2.

    The problem is that I have to restart my computer everytime where I lose internet connection (WiFi is turned off automatically).
    Everything is blocked its very hard to access the settings of network or toshiba configfree

    Thank you

    Try this:

    Update the BIOS of the laptop
    Update driver Intel Wireless LAN
    Use static IP addresses, instead of dynamic (DHCP)

  • Intermittently lose connection WiFi. XP Pro, Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG

    I recently recovered from a nasty virus and my computer seems back to normal except an annoying problem. Periodically, I lose my wireless connection. It happens on multiple networks, so I know it's the computer. I updated my drivers (all who were on the Dell support site specific for my service tag) and still not fixed. I used to be forced to restart, but now (after the driver update), I can use the Device Manager to disable, and then enable the wireless adapter and the connection returns every time... but its obviously annoying.

    Any suggestions would be helpful. I have a Dell Latitude D630 running XP Pro. The
    card is an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. Thanks in advance.

    You may not say anything on the power saving mode, but the link you posted has done. None of these things worked anyway.

    However, I found a solution that others may find useful. Apparently the Dell Web site is not exhaustive with regard to the pilots. I found a update for my driver wireless on a third party site, Drivermax.com

    After the update, the problem has been resolved. DriverMax is an application that is free to download and much appreciated on download.com

    Free version allows only download driver per day, so be sure to choose carefully.

    Lesson learned: sites Web of manufacturers is not always the best place to find updates driver
