Intel 3945ABG - no connection

Hi!

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (SP2) on my Acer Travelmate 3010. The laptop has a Intel Wireless 3945ABG network card (on board).

I've downloaded the latest driver (only the driver - not the tool) from the Intel-website (v. 12.4.0.0) and ran the installer. The device-manager says everything is perfect – means the driver shows up correctly without any problems.

Fine... but I don't find any router when I wish to connect. Neither my own nor the 2 routers of my neighbors...
Google didn't come up with any solution... finally I found this page.
Can someone help me?
Please!

Any further information needed? – please let me know!

Usually, on board wireless cards need to be enabled, or physically switched on via a toggle switch, or by pressing a button or a keyboard key (something like Fn + F2). Once it's enabled, a wireless light should turn on. If it appears to be enabled, you can further isolate the problem by checking if other wireless computers can see your router. If not, then the router probably needs to be configured properly.

Vista Wireless Problem: Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG

Hi Pete,

You sound like you know what you're doing, so forgive me if these suggestions seem foolish or patronising..
Does your laptop have a wireless button?
8f45b35.jpg

When you go to Internet Options and click the Connections tab, have you checked 'Never Dial a Connection'? This is essential..
I have exactly the same ethernet card and network adaptor, but haven't had any problems, and we have 2 laptops and 2 pc's here all detecting our router okay so..
It's definitely not MAC filtering on the router, as you would still see the network in your list..
I can only suggest uninstalling the Intel Pro Wireless driver and downloading a fresh one from here.
That'll reset default settings at least..
Hope this helps
Let me know how you get on.. If I face this problem I want to know how to fix it too!

Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection code 10

Hi,
Code 10 usually means the device driver is not compatible, outdated or corrupt.

Try uninstalling the wireless device again and then reinstall using the latest driver available from:

NB If you're running XP, use the second one.

Hope this helps

Wireless fails to work after reinstalling XP SP2

Hey there,

The wireless driver might only work on Vista, try the IT Administrators - Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility for Windows* XP and Windows Vista*from here

First uninstall the one you have though..

Hope this helps
