IBM think pad with a gigabyte wireless adapter returns un autorized network card on boot

go into BIOS by pressing fn and f5 together, enable wireless card, cisco or intel, then install driver for wireless adapter

Go to this LINK. maybe a driver is needed.Also your OS is needed to find a fix.

click start and go to control panel then select device manager. Click on the arrow or plus sign beside network adapter and select the wireless device driver. Right click on it and select uninstall and restart your computer after. After it restarts, your computer will automatically reinstall the driver you deleted.

If it doesn't work, download the driver update from the ibm website: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-57669. Just make sure you're downloading the driver for WLAN that's compatible with your operating system. You may also have to update your firmware.

Hi
Please scan your system with proper anti-virus & don't use trendnet wireless software always use windows setting

use the zyxel you have best range and good signal also otherwise you take a acces point and you get it the best of the best link and signal

You may try the following:

1) Plug the wireless card on another slot
2) Update the drivers of the wireless card

If those does not work, you may try to install the wireless card on another computer just to isolate if the problem is on the wireless card or on the slot of the computer

have you tried looking for an updated bios version for your motherboard?

Hi,
IBM requires using a "branded" network adapter, meaning one that has IBM's name on it, no matter if it's broadcom,etc. There is a couple of workarounds for this problem which would enable you to use whatever wireless adapter you wish. I would google IBM R40, and error 1802 and you'll find the application you need. Unfortunately, I'm not able to offer it to you here.
Good luck

well i think obviously the network card is damaged and causing the pc to stop when checking the pci slot that the card is in. Return to the supplier as the card should light up orange or green when operating normally, and under warranty if Os has a 12 month warranty period. Assuming you haven't had a power surge, they should replace the card.
