Wlan Driver 802.11n
Catarina Marsalis
The HP Support Assistant has just notified me of some updated drivers. The first (HP Image Enhancement for System Logon) installed fine; the second (Intel WLAN Driver for Microsoft Windows 10) did not install - it comes up with a box saying 'Installation failed'.
I found another post on the HP support forums which say to check the currently installed driver (by going to Device Manager > Network Adaptors > Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265; then Driver tab) and, if it's a later driver currently installed, it can be disabled in the HPSA.
I've done this, and checked the currently-installed wireless driver on my system, and it is showing in the driver tab as version 19.51.4.2 with a date of 02/07/2017 (I'm not sure if that's February or July). By using the 'update driver' button, it has suggested that I have the latest version - both online and via Windows update.
I've checked on the support section of the HP website and, by entering in my serial number, it has shown me the list of drivers available for the Intel WLAN adapter: the latest version offered there is shown as 19.20.1.3 Rev.P, released November 3 2016. This suggests to me that I have indeed got the latest driver installed.
That said, the reason you aren't able to install it as I mentioned before is because the update isn't for your model and the best way to check if you have the latest version installed, is by going into the HP website:
That said, the HPSA works as a push service to update the drivers based on your product number, unlike the serial number which would be specific to your computer alone, the product numbers are a wide range of PC's with different parts.
I ask as your post below seems to suggest that I can only delete the offered driver in HPSA if I've already installed it - which, as I've already said, I was unable to do because the installation fails every time I try (presumably because it's the incorrect driver for the specific hardware I have installed, but one that appears on another model with the same product number).
As a suggestion for the software decision makers, can I suggest that the HPSA take account of the serial number as well and only offer the drivers for the specific PC? This would be far better for consumers and would prevent a lot of confusion. I'm pretty good with computers, but I know a lot of people who would be completely baffled by this issue. I've recently switched from a Mac (mainly due to cost and flexibility of PCs versus Macs), but there's a lot to be said for having it 'just working'. If HP could get this sorted they'd be able to corner the market ...
Also note that while the driver file may be 21.10.0.5 in your example, depending on the model wifi adapter your PC has, an older version may be installed. You can look at the release notes on the webpage as to what model wifi adapters get what driver version.
First of all I have started with the tutorial to build image using open embedded (core). I did all the settings and finally used bitbake angstrom-lxde-image to build the image. The built image working well.
Now I want to add Wireless drivers to support PCIe atheros WiFi cards.
I used bitbake -c menueconfig virtual/kernel to change the config of the kernel. Then added the all device drivers I need. And then saved the config file and used bitbake virtual/kernel to build new kernel based on the new config. After that I used again bitbake angstrom-lxde-image to build new image.
After flashing new image I used connmanctl enable wifi to activate wifi but it shows "net.conmanctl.Technology" doesn't exist.. Even in ifconfig output I can not see Wlan0.
Should I add something, more in kernel more than ath9k driver to activate WiFi?
I am trying to do a similar procedure for a Altera SoC where in I want to interface TP-Link TL-WN722N wifi dongle. The option (Atheros/Qualcomm)is enabled in make menuconfig .
When I plug in the device in the Altera SoC, I am able to see the device ID and name with the dmesg command. Howeer, I observe the following errors as well:
can anyone please explain me the steps to add the driver. I am trying to interface the wifi dongle with cyclone v processor and unfortunately the drivers are not present in /lib/modules/../kernel/drivers/net/.
I have also enabled the appropriate ath9k_htc option in the make menuconfig option.
The firmware is present in the folder /lib/firmware . However when I plug in, I observe the following error:
SO the issue currently is with the firmware. The USB dongle somehow does not seem to find the firmware. There was no folder named firmware in /lib/so I created manually a new folder named firmware and placed the firmware fileshtc_7010.fwandhtc_9271.fwin there. But the usb tried to search forath9k_htc/htc_9271-1.4.0.fwin the first try and thenhtc_9271.fw. My question is now that is the path/lib/firmware` correct for placing the firmware files there for the Angstrom, or should they b placed at some other path?

TITLE: Intel WLAN Driver
VERSION: 21.80.2.1
DESCRIPTION:
Intel Wireless LAN drivers are required to enable the integrated Intel Wireless LAN adapter in supported computer models that are running a supported Windows 10 operating system.
One thing I have noticed lately with Intel wireless drivers is that even though a driver version may be say 21, that driver is for a specific set of cards, not just one. One card in that set of drivers could go up to version 21 while another only goes up to 19. Also, sometimes the driver version itself does not actually go up, but there are numerous fixes and so the package number does go up. It is best to go directly into the inf and find out what version it saying for your wireless card. I have the Intel wireless admin pack version 21.9.3, but the actual driver version it spits out is 19.51.29.1, 20.70.17.1 or 21.90.3.2 depending on the card.
My wifi driver (Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160 MHz) has completely ceased to function. I've tried running the Driver Assistant tool multiple times, and installing the newest version of the driver has not helped at all.
I'm not very technologically inclined and I'm having a really hard time understanding what to fix here.
What mean for you "manully shutdown", "manually restart" - I usually go at Windows icon then Power -> Restart/Shutdown.
Maybe you can check my components at my profile, I install "Intel Driver & Support Assistant". I am Computer engineer and work like Web developer, so I know some stuff. I also bring PC to local PC experts but did not helped me. Motherboard seller said that he did not have fault Motherboard like this, usually is something bigger. He also think this is driver issue/conflict and he can send me new motherboard.
I have a similar problem with the Intel Wifi 6 AX201 160Mhz, it still doesn't work despite following the same instructions, I recently did a fresh install of Windows 11 and to date it's the only device that doesn't work. The strangest thing about the issue is that Bluetooth doesn't work either and it doesn't appear in the list of devices, can you help me?
For the people with issues make sure you really follow each step as Scott mentioned and, for me, after the new drivers are installed I had to shut down the pc on the power button otherwise would still fail for some reason.
I have a Dell Optiplex 7090 with AX201 network adapter, been having problems lately, at least 3 months of this. I have a huawei AX3 Wifi 6 router, before it was working fine, usually got 2.1gbps speed, suddenly AX201 dropped. I have a notebook with AX201 showing similar symptoms.
The symptoms that I found were that I couldn't access Wifi 6 5GHz, only 2.4GHz.
Apart from wifi 6, I also have a wifi 5 router TPlink C8 which also worked fine before, on average it can get speeds of up to 1.3gbps.
After the issue of not being able to connect to 5GHz wifi 6, I tried connecting to Wifi 5, it turns out that the highest speed is only 190mbps.
I have tried the steps given here, I applied on a notebook and Dell Optiplex 7090, but it didn't work, the symptoms remain the same.
I have another older notebook but the wifi card has been replaced using the AX210, it doesn't show the same symptoms as the AX201.
Finally I tried changing the wifi card on my Dell Optiplex 7090 using AX210, the above symptoms disappeared, AX210 worked perfectly, connecting to Wifi 6 got 2.1gbps, and to wifi 5 got 1.3gbps on the same wifi network as AX201 used.
It can be concluded that the issue is indeed the problematic AX201, if you search the internet, many complain about the AX201, and not a few who provide various kinds of troubleshooting but nothing works.
Hi, even though this fix works for a while, it isn't a final complete fix, the problem is related with some keyboards or mouses wireless, Logitech in my case as soon as I disconnect the wireless keyboard and mouse restart the machine and reinstall the driver the problem is gone. Something in this chip doesn't like my wireless mouse or keyboard.
Buonasera, ho un LENOVO YOGA C640-13IML, dove da un p di mesi ha installato windows 11. Da un giorno all'altro l'icona WIFI e BLUETOOTH sono scomparse, ho provato ad eseguire i passaggi elencati sopra ma il problema persiste, ho fatto anche un reset del pc ma non cambiato nulla. Volevo provare a tornare a windows 10 ma non posso perch passato troppo tempo.
