Hi all,
I cannot get the 4965AG wireless card to work on my T61p! Device manager shows "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" and I cannot find any information that has helped to resolve this. I have tried uninstall of driver and driver update etc but to no avail!

Is anyone able to offer any suggestions please?

Thanks

i'm guessing this is the original one that came with the system not one you bought from Amazon or something? If it can't then try to get drivers from Intel site and see if those work.

you don't have AVG 8.0 on it do you?

More information. Was it ever working? What did you change right before you broke it?

Yes this is the card that came with the machine, I have tried the Intel drivers also. No Im not using AVG, it was working but noticed it stopped, I have no idea what I changed

Thanks

I am thinking maybe your wireless service is turned off. Click on Start, Run, and type in services.msc and look towards the bottom for Wireless Zero Configuration. See if the status says Started and the startup type is Automatic.

Another option would be to try system restore but first try the method above. Let us know in here if that works or not.

Wireless service is enabled and autostarting - I did check this.

It only stops working when the machine is docked in the advanced dock I just realised! Undocked it works, docked I get the error! Surely this cant be a resource contention?

Thanks

I'm sure you don't have an live ethernet cable plugged into the dock because that would turn off the wireless radio.

Having the ethernet cable plugged in or hot has not effect.

The dock has an Nvidia card in it (I run 3 monitors) if I disable the PCI Express port in the BIOS (Security -> Ports) then the wi-fi works! It seems the wi-fi card and the Nvidia card use an overlapping memory range. Anyway to address this?

Thanks
