More Fn-F5 problems
Have rebooted multiple times....and tried to either update drivers or simply get properties on the wireless....can't get past the "adapter state not found in registry".
System restore does not work.
My assumption is I deleted a registry key that I shouldn't have.
Am trying to avoid the hassles of a complete rebuild---does anyone have the registry keys for a T43p -- for an Intel Pro/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection?
UGH!!!

Friends-
It seems that this and related threads have been dormant for awhile, but I wanted to share my findings.
After removing, rebooting, and reinstalling all of the recommended software, I was still having the same issue: Access Connections could be used to find wireless networks, but none of my profiles worked. I had to manage wireless connectivity through windows.
Turns out that a new wireless card requires you to create or edit your existing wireless profiles in Access Connections. They don't automatically update with the new wireless device.
This may have been an obvious step for most of the community, but I missed it entirely. After spending hours trying to get Access Connections to work, I was able to correct the issue in seconds by building a new wireless profile.
Hope this helps others who might encounter the same situation!

Thx to antera309 (and others), problems solved
I followed Antera309's directions exactly, and this solved my problem perfectly. Thanks VERY much to Antera309 (and others) who have posted. Due to the age of this post, I am very surprised this is still an issue. My problem started as a result of System Update 3 updates. Thanks again, you saved me hours of work!
DELL - It really IS s a 4-letter word.
I have read the instructions and before I embark on the journey I have some concerns that I don't understand. For example
4) Search the C:\WINDOWS\INF folder for any files containing "2200BG". Delete any OEMxx.INF files containing this string -
>>Since I have a 3945ABG card I assume where ever he comments on 2200BG I should use 3945ABG
>> Am i lookinf for files in the INF floder that have 3945ABG in the file name and/or am I looking for 3945ABG in each OEMxx.INF file and deleting only those that do?
10) Reboot
11) Using Device Manager, force a re-install of the latest version of the Intel PRO/1000 Cabled network adapter (choose "I will choose the driver to install" then "Have disk" and provide the location on the hard disk with the PRO/100 driver files for XP). Reboot if prompted
>>When I come out of a reboot, my pc is already reinstalling the drivers. Do I need to disable something to do it manually?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Thx to antera309 (and others), problems solved
Another vote of thanks for Nick. I upgraded the wireless on a T41 with an Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Wireless LAN card. Got the 1802 error but fixed that. Installed required drivers and wireless was fine under Windows, but not FnF5 or Access Connections. Followed Antera309's post. Took a while, but all is fine now.TPBigot wrote:I followed Antera309's directions exactly, and this solved my problem perfectly. Thanks VERY much to Antera309 (and others) who have posted.

On January 31st I replied that I had the "Find" function back but when I tried to power the wireless radio on nothing happened.
I was going to try antera309's procedures but I try and stay out of the registery if at all possible.
In several other threads I pciked up on a possible power management issue which might explain why I was getting the message and the radio would not power on. So.....
I uninstalled the power management driver and utility and lo and behold on reboot my wireless connected. I have yet to reinstall the power management utility. I will post again after I do.
For all who offered help. thanks much.

Power On Wireless Adapter Fix
Install the AEGIS protocol in the network properties of the wireless Dual mini adapter reboot and before login hit the f5 key. you should be able to turn the wireless networking on and off even before you login.
Hope this helps someone time to put back what I have received.
Another Fix
This problem is so vexing, I think, because there are two combined causes: the Hotkey Utility does not fully uninstall and the Hotkey Utility cannot find the dll necessary to control the wireless radio.
If it is messed up for you, try the following:
PS FWIW, I prefer to use http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_ ... n&lang=eng rather than Access Connections + the wireless driver available from Lenovo for download, because I turn off the power management and roaming "features" of the network adapter for better reliability. Access Connections resets these settings for every profile, but Intel's utility or using Windows Zero Configuration doesn't change the adapter settings between profiles.
If it is messed up for you, try the following:
- Uninstall the wireless driver using Add/Remove Programs
- Uninstall the Hotkey utility using its Setup program (uninstall is an option in the Setup app; it doesn't appear in Add/Remove Programs control panel)
- Restart
- Delete the Hotkey folders from C:\Program Files\Lenovo\PkgMgr [key step!]
- Reinstall the Hotkey Utility and the wireless driver (don't reboot if prompted)
- Change the system Path to include C:\Program Files\Intel\Wireless\Bin (easy way to do this: go to command prompt and run the following: path = %PATH%;C:\Program Files\Intel\Wireless\Bin )
- Restart

A different fix - perhaps
Hi, I've now spent about 14 hours trying to mend the wireless on my wife's Thinkpad, and finally got it to work again. I thought it might help someone else if I posted some of the detail here. Moderators, please move this post if there is a more suitable place for it.
R50e 1834 S5G just over a year old. Windows XP Home.
The ThinkVantage software had never been installed/used, and no updates had been applied. The wireless was suffering drop outs, slow connections and general unreliability. It has only ever been used for our own home network, but may 'roam' in the future. Since I don't use the machine, it took a while for me to realise there was something wrong. I looked for updates/upgrades, and eventually these broke the wireless entirely, after which I ran the ThinkVantage software and got all the recommended and suggested updates, including a BIOS firmware upgrade. Then the wireless could not be made to work at all, even under the windows software.
After trawling through this excellent forum, I eventually found this post:
I uninstalled the entire Intel ProSet wireless driver (both parts) to remove the new driver, using the windows add/remove software tool. I then went into the DRIVERS directory and deleted every file whose name contained "iProInst" or "IPROINST" that I could find, hoping they would be put back by the new driver installation. There were >90 files deleted!
I then again installed the latest Intel ProSet software from [7kwc50ww.exe] according to the instructions (by this time I was expert and could have done it in my sleep!). Bingo! The wireless function now works. The Access Connections also works - although I have only tried it once to find out, as I'm not about to do anything that might break the wireless function again.
So, my wife is now happy, and I never want to fiddle with a Thinkpad again.
I do hope this helps someone!

Re: More Fn-F5 problems
Hello,
I had the same problem: Fn+F5 was refusing powering on/off my Intel 2200 card on T43. I tried to read much of your invaluable posts, but the more I read, the more I felt: "It is hopeless". Nevertheless, I tried to fight for the last time, and decided to update the IBM Access Connections to the recent version available from Lenovo site.
At the first attempt, it screamed: "Install .NET Framework 3.0 first", so I did. Then I installed the Access Connections. Then rebooted. And??? Do you know, what I got as a result???
Fn+F5 works as it should!!!
So, nothing else, but Access Connections (plus .NET Framework 3.0 before).
Good luck,
vincent43

Re: More Fn-F5 problems
Well done indeed. I'm still fighting shy of having anything to do with my wife's Thinkpad unless I have to. The wireless is still working, I haven't checked the status of .Net lately
I have suggested that we format the hard drive and install Linux, but that didn't go down well.
Hope everythig stays good!

Will the directions that antera309 posted work on an x41 tablet?
Thanks

Re: More Fn-F5 problems
As the Hotkey Driver and Intel Pro/Set Wireless software get updated, proper instructions get out of date. The main cause of this problem is that the necessary directories are missing from PATH in Environment Variables (the System control panel)-- check for the necessary dll in somewhere like Intel\Wireless\Bin or Common Files, and add that directory to PATH and reboot. Also, reinstallation of the hotkey driver is problematic. After uninstalling and rebooting, delete the HOTKEY folder(s) within the %ProgramFiles%\Lenovo directory (see my previously posted instructions above), before reinstalling.
Re: More Fn-F5 problems
Hi All,
I tried doing a clean install recently on my X40 2382 JEU. Last time I did this in 2007, there were no problems whatsoever.
However, this time around, I have not succeeded in making the fn-5 work. I have tried every piece of advice in this discussion (and in some other message boards), but to no avail. Incidentally, Program Files\Intel\Wireless path doesn't even exist on my computer, though it does exist on my wife's X40.
Regards,
Mordechai

Re: More Fn-F5 problems
Does your hotkeys onscreen display work for the other hotkeys? If not, you may need to install the Hotkey Features driver.
Make sure Access Connections is uninstalled, then try running C:\Drivers\Win\WLANINT2\XP\Apps\x32\iProInst.exe
When that completes successfully, reboot, then reinstall Access Connections if you want (it's not required).

Re: More Fn-F5 problems
Yes, other HOT keys work.
I decided to AGAIN do a clean install (after installing and uninstaling so much *^%$^&* in an attempt to get various features to work. This time, I did not install any of the Intel Pro management software, just the drivers (for both ethernet & wireless). I made sure to use my wife's wireless 2200BG drivers and here HOT-Key driver, since the fn-5 works on her machine (and newer wireless drivers & HOT-Key driver did not work on mine).
However, just as before everything works swell except the fn-5. I keep getting the message: "Unable to change power state of 802.11 wireless radio. Update the driver for the wireless adapter." I made sure to put in the advanced-environment variables path "Program Files\Intel\wireless\BIN" even though I didn't install anything there (I copied my wife's directory that existed in that path, however, just in case).

Re: More Fn-F5 problems
I have had this problem before, and have found a simple and effective solution for intel cards. If you are using the origional windows intstall, go to the folder on the C:\ drive with all the software. (on my t41, it is c:\ibmtools\drivers\) Then choose the correct wireless folder, depending on your card (all I have is for t4x cards, this should be a longer list).
WlanCx2\ - intel pro 2200bg (calexo update)
WLANATH\ - athro card
WLANCSC\ - cisco/ibm? card
WLLANINT\ - intel pro 2100b
For intel cards, there should be a folder called "APPS", containing "API" and "SUPPORT". Choose API, and run KILLACIN.bat, which will re-install the software.
I have only used intel cards, so I cannot help with other brands, but I know the work will work with any driver version.
I have also found that it is easier to just upgrade the driver by pointing device driver to the correct path, and not bothering to use the included installer.

Re: More Fn-F5 problems
I have found the Intel installer works quite well. It will also repair a damaged install.
craigmontHunter brings up a good point. I pointed to the directory for my Intel 2200BG card. If you have a different Intel card, the subdirectory name may be a little different. Note that you can double-click on IBMTPI.XML (or other .XML) file in the first directory of the driver to see what that driver is for. For example, a double-click on C:\Drivers\Win\WLANINT2\IBMTPI.XML will show the following:

Re: More Fn-F5 problems
Hi all,
Well, after two days of tinkering, finally it worked.
I followed GomJabbar's advice, but only installed the drivers. This still didn't work, so I tried Killacin.bat (which didn't give any visual signals), so I followed this up with re-installing the drivers+IntelPro software. Now the Fn-5 failed completely, producing a windows "do you want to report this?" message. Re-installing Hot-keys again resulted in the whole mess now working. Don't ask me what did it... I am just happy it works...
Thanks.

Re: More Fn-F5 problems
I did install the Power Management Software but I had to uninstall Fn-F5 from Add/Remove using CCCleaner because my Wireless would always be off. I could enable & disable Bluetooth using the Control Panel that Fn-F5 brought up, but all attempts to enable WLAN Card would not enable it.angrydee wrote:your all bloody mad... to fix Fn+f5 simply install the correct power management software from Ibm or lenovo or anywhere else you can find it!!!

Or are there a certain versions of the following on X61T that all work together well on Win 7 x64?:
Power Drivers | Power Management Software | Wireless Drivers (Windows or Lenovo) | Fn-F5

Re: More Fn-F5 problems
Everytime I close switch off WiFi with the Hardware Switch and turn it back on it does not get turned back on. The Bluetooth works but WiFi wont turn back one.benjs wrote:Since this seems to be an everlasting source of problems...
in my case, deactivating the device in the hardware manager, waiting for a minute and reactivating helped.
(Windows 7 x64, T61p & Intel 4965.)
The only way to enable WiFi again after this, is to Disable & Enable in Device Manager. Which is a pain to do so many times.
Are there a certain versions of the following on X61T that all work together well flawlessly on Win 7 x64?:
Power Drivers | Power Management Software | Wireless Drivers (Windows or Lenovo) | Fn-F5
PS: Anyone got an idea how/ where Fn-F5 enables the WiFi card? Is it some Registry Flag?
