Lenovo 3000 N100 – cannot enable wireless Card

Posted under Windows
Tags , ,

Symptoms as follows :-

1/ LED on front edge not lit, no wireless networks seen

2/ switch on front edge toggles bluetooth but wireless stays off

3/ Tried all drivers available on Lenovo site – no joy

4/ Broadcom wireless utility has an enable box – does not work

5/ Broadcom wireless utility has a diagnostic. This runs ok AND LIGHTS THE LIGHT ON THE FRONT –
   it says all hardware working no problems (which I believe)
   However, still can’t see wireless networks afterwards

6/ Googled all the forums – lots of people with same issue, no real solution.
   Possibly a patch/update has shafted the driver, but don’t know which patch.

7/ I found another driver on Softpedia here:-
   http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/NETWORK-CARD/OTHER-NETWORK-CARDS/BROADCOM-Wireless-802-11b-and-802-11g.shtml

   This is an HP Driver, but it WORKS! Installed it and wireless working fine now!
