Upon installing the newest version of ProSet, the native WiFi icon and the ProSet icon both have a yellow bang when connected to WPA2/PSK Cisco AP. Hovering on the native icon reveals a message of "no internet access", opening the Intel ProSet connection utility shows "Internet Access : No"
This is usually an issue related the operating system since it also happens with other (wired) adapters. As a workaround I would suggest to roll back to the driver version that worked before or the one provided by the computer manufacturer. As a best practice we recommend the use of WPA2-AES.
Thank you IanH for the steps to reproduce the issue, it has been reported, we do recommend to install the latest tested drivers from your laptop manufacturer since these would have been tested to work specifically with your exact system set up.
Go to 'Start' right-click on 'Computer' click on device manager (on the left panel) click on "Network Adapters"\Double-Click the adapter name\Drivers Tab and click on the "Uninstall" button if present.
Remove the Wireless folder found at C:\Users\YOUR_PROFILE_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Intel. (if you do not see the "AppData" folder you need to "unhide " it, pres 'alt' click on 'tools' on the top of the screen then 'folder options' in folder options click on 'view' then select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" then click 'ok' )
I have followed all of the above steps, however the yellow exclamation point does not go away and the "no internet access" message persists. Once the version 15.6.1 software has been installed, it permanently displays a false error message in Windows 7. This happens with both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the driver.
Additional steps I have taken to unsuccessfully attempt to resolve the issue are to open the network and sharing center, click the icon under View you active networks and then Manage or delete your active networks. I've deleted all the entries and started fresh but still the false error persists.
The error persists with the Wireless adapter completely disabled and no wireless driver or software installed. It seems that installing this software version alters something so deep inside the networking components that the Ethernet adapter is affected as well and displays the false error described above.
I am experiencing this same issue on one Lenovo ThinkPad X230 with an Intel Advanced-N 6205 wireless card. I have a whole bunch of these machines with the same Windows 7 Enterprise image, but one machine seems to hate taking the Intel PROSet 15.6.1 package. Just like IanH, after the package goes on, the yellow icon shows up after restarting. The yellow icon shows up even when wireless isn't in use and the computer is connected via Ethernet cable. Uninstalling the 15.6.1 package doesn't fix things. Installing the older version (I have been using the Lenovo provided package 15.03.1000.1637 to start my builds with) afterwards doesn't help either.
I have just tried now to do a totally new installation of Windows on a freshly wiped hard drive. I did not domain join the machine to make sure there is nothing else that could be getting in the way. As soon as I install 15.6.1, the yellow icon appears.
Was an issue with this particular version ever identified? Lenovo is using 15.6.1 as the newest package, but I know there is now a newer version available directly from Intel. Should I skip ahead to that version instead?
I tried 15.8 and had the same issue! Something Intel has introduced in 15.6 and higher is breaking the Windows networking stack upon installation! I am now living in fear that any PCs in my organization get these drivers without my approval as if I don't catch the problem in time to do a System Restore, I have to wipe and re-install the whole PC!
This cosmetic issue must be specific to your systems or environment since we have tested the most recent versions and the issue does not occur. In this case you may probably want to use different driver versions from the system manufacturer since they may be customized for your computer.
2) I already stated that while I had this problem with the Lenovo provided drivers (which I do not believe are customized anyway), I ALSO had the problem using Intel provided drivers both 15.6.1 and 15.8, both on a domain-joined system and on a freshly formatted system.
I am also seeing this issue on a Dell Latitude with the latest Intel Pro/Wireless drivers. The laptop is running Win7 Pro 64-bit. Windows says there is no Internet access, but the laptop can indeed reach the Internet. Upgrading the drivers (both wired and wireless) to the latest version did not help.
One interesting thing I noticed: When I connected the laptop to our VPN, the exclamation point went away. Not sure what that means, as connecting to the VPN while already on the LAN should not change anything.
My company has been having the same problems with all the Dell Latitude E6420, E6520 & E6430 laptops that have upgraded to the 15.6.1 driver. I originally upgraded the drivers directly from Dell's site when the problem started. I also tried using the driver directly from Intel's site with the same results. So we can rule out the theory of using the system manufacturer driver as a fix for this.
This was the exact problem I had. Lenovo system update updated the proset drivers from 15.3.1.2 to 15.6.1 Yellow bang, with a false "no internet connection" message. We're leaving the old 15.3, 9/20/2012 drivers on the image until intel fixes this.
We have been experiencing the same problem with our Dell Latitude 6530 and 6430 laptops, as well as our Lenovo T530 laptops. Both laptops have Intel hardware. The laptops appear to be functioning perfectly, despite the error message. We tried reinstalling the OS, drivers, etc., but the error continues to show up. I have noticed, however, that it does occasionally disappear, although I'm not sure why.
Using the Process Monitor utility from Microsoft you can capture ZEROCONFIGSERVICE.EXE (That runs out of c:\program files\intel\wifi\bin) writing the value 0 (turning off polling) (You can check this, by changing the value to 1, disabling the nic, enabling the nic) The laptops with the issue are DELL LATTITUDE E6540.
I have tested and confirmed that Frederic_MUC's solution works on my companies Dell Latitude E6420, E6520 & E6430 laptops. Unchecking "Enable Intel WiFi HotSpot Assistant" & "Automatically connect to free WiFi hotspots" in the Intel PROSet/Wireless Tools did the trick. I did not have to uninstall the network devices. A reboot afterwards was all that was needed in my situation.

Just installed a new I210-T1 NIC, downloaded 24.1 of the Windows 10 64 bit drivers. When I try to install it, it tells me that "The installed version of Intel(R) Connections is not supported for upgrades. You must uninstall it before installing this version".
Thanks for the quick response. I went in and deleted the one phantom adapter that I had (my previous CT adapter). I then uninstalled the I210-T1 adapter and rebooted. I dont have any VLANs or Teams and the instructions did not address the miniport adapters so I left those. When I tried the driver install again I received the same error as above. However, that install did (seem to) reinstall the default I210-T1 driver with an older version. After reconnecting my network, I updated the default driver to the newer version (shown above) via the device manager search for a Updated version function.
Is your reference to one on those shown or something else. Incidentally, when doing the install discussed in my prior post, I was disconnected from the network. The default driver reappeared in the device manager immediately after displaying the error message during the Intel driver install. It either had in on my local machine or got it from the v24.1 install download.
Yes, that worked. Thanks much. I will say however, following your instructions closely, the uninstall of the "default" I210-T1 adapter never did stay uninstalled across a reboot. After doing steps 1 - 4 and rebooting (#5), the default I210 adapter again appeared in device manager. This time, when I went to uninstall it, there was no check box to delete the adapter, just the uninstall button. I did the uninstall and rebooted a 2nd time. Again the default adapter was back, so I did the uninstall (no "delete" check box) without rebooting and proceeded with the install of the downloaded driver package. It worked fine, and the device manager shows a driver version 12.18.9.1, dated 6/13/2019. The key seemed to be the uninstall of the Intel Network Connections in the Apps and Features section of the Windows settings.
One further question, please. Will this driver be updated (when applicable) during the normal Windows 10 update cycle, or will I need to periodically check the Intel site for new driver updates?
Seriously, I would hope that updates do become available through Windows Update, but I regularly look for changes in the Download Center just in case. I suppose I could do this using IDSA, but I still don't trust it.
The overlay network driver creates a distributed network among multipleDocker daemon hosts. This network sits on top of (overlays) the host-specificnetworks, allowing containers connected to it to communicate securely whenencryption is enabled. Docker transparently handles routing of each packet toand from the correct Docker daemon host and the correct destination container.
