Problem with Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN

[BarThu]

Greetings,
After installing Win7 Prof x64 everything with WiFi was working correctly. Yesterday I wanted to try Vista x64 driver with Connection Utility. In the device manager it shows that device is working corectly but in fact it is not working at all. Uninstalling connection utility didn't help and windows cannot find any driver at the HDD or in windows update.

Any idea what could be done to fix it?

Uninstall it totally, restart, and let Windows reinstall it.

In device manager rightclick on the device, choose properties-> driver tab-> previous driver.

Good luck

Previous driver is blank, uninstalling and rebooting doesn' help. Any other ideas?

You stated the device manager reports the driver is working ok.

Are you sure it's not something in the cards settings?

Can you post a screenshot of the command prompt after typing: ipconfig /all

It is not shown in ipconfig and when I clicked to "check for solutions" it has shown "probably driver problem" or something like this. So seems he doesn't like the vista driver at all but the question is why can't he install the default driver just like he did right after installing win7?

I'm downloading Win7 drivers for your card right now.

I'm going to check it out before I make a bad recommendation.

I'll post back in 10min.

Ok, the driver is genuine and it's from 23 august 2009.

After unzipping, there are both the 32bit and 64bit drivers folders.

Just run the iProDifX.exe in the 32 or 64 folder.

I have put the zipfile on my livedrive.

You can download it here:

intel_wifilink_124153_win7.zip - Windows Live

Good luck

I removed the vista driver first so now the device is "unknown" and after I tried to install the one you gave. Nothing has changed. I have also tried manually add the driver but there was no 4965 AGN avalible.

Is it just me, or are they tiny images, it won't zoom so I can't see anything?

When you install manually, don't chose the list, but browse for it in the folder where you unzipped the driver.

It didn't help. I am starting to hate this OS I disabled checkup if the driver is digitally signed for this 1 boot and still nothing...

Why doesn't it see the 4965 in the drivers you gave? Why if Win7 previously installed the driver (right after OS installation) automaticly now it cannot do the same?

Please tell in as much detail as possible what you did after you downloaded the driver.

Add some screenshots too, please.


By the way, it's not the Os that's to blame. It's the f******g hardware manufactures who had three yrs to write a decent driver, but they don't want to do that, because they rather have you buy new stuff.

It's the "sell and abandon" tactics that has become the normal way of doing business nowadays.
So if you are going to complain, make sure you bark up the right tree.

You are right in that.

Had to switch to ENG language again first to make screens. I have notebook Clevo M570RU and I have installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_rtm.090713-1255) like 2 weeks ago.

I downloaded and installed this little thing:
 Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility for Windows Vista* 64-Bit

It didn't work so I uninstalled it via 'Uninstall a program' in Control Panel being sure that windows will install the default driver just like it did after installing the windows. It didn't and now I have 'Unknown Device' in the control pannel. I guess I uninstalled the device and checked 'Delete the driver software for this device':

The driver for Vista that I have tried to is recognised as "working properly"

Hi, can you download the driver that you need.?

 

[BarThu]

There is nothing to choose there and no download link/button. In the download center there are only xp and vista drivers for this device.

Ok, to not complicate this any further and take for ever, I suggest we go and use teamviewer so I can logon to your system.

You can google teamviewer and download it from their website.

If you send me a private message with your MSN name, we can chat and set it up.
