Hello mluggers!
I've been fighting with the on-board wireless (Intel 3954) in my T60
ever since I got it. At home it works perfectly, good speeds and the
connection never drops out. But if I bring it anywhere where a bunch of
people are using the same access point the connection drops frequently
and it takes a significant amount of time for it to come back.
Restarting the network manager daemon normally speeds things up but it's
still very annoying.
Hi Nick;
Sorry to hear you're having problems. I have a T60 with the onboard intel
and it works stunningly. What OS are you running? For what it's worth,
my route to success was to ditch networkmanager completely, that software
is total garbage. Works fine for some but I absolutely have zero
patience for that crap. Delete/remove/uninstall/disable that stuff and
just use wpa_supplicant. You will have to edit a text file to add new
access points, but if you can handle that then you're golden. I'd be
willing to bet that your problems have nothing to do with the card and
everything to do with networkmanager. There is some gui overlay for it I
think but I've never touched that.
Anyway, there are two cards supported by this hardware: the Intel 3945
What do you mean? That the t60 can ship with either intel or atheros?
The intel card/chipset is just fine. Check out madwifi mailing lists,
look at the aircrack-ng forums, you should have no problems whatsoever
with a recent OS. If you really have problems, just use a USB wifi
dongle, just about any ought to work (do your homework). I've had success
using tplink, dlink, can't remember models.
